Dark Lord Day 2016

the God's have graced me with my Bourbon County check, appearing in the mail today of all days

this is a sign....a sign to spend an unnecessary amount of money tomorrow

(maybe) i'll see y'all there tomorrow

 

Not a bad idea using frozen water bottles to keep your beers cold. I'm stepping it up a notch. Freezing my beer. Cant risk one of those frozen water bottles breaking either my KBBS or BVDL. Rookies

 

I will find you !!

Well after months of anticipation, I have left the wife and dogs behind for the weekend and I'm here waiting to board and be closer to the motherland. I can already tell that is going to be a good day when my checked in bag with 4 pounds over the limit and the lady just winked at me and didn't charge me extra..... Hope that pair of SR-71s in the bag make it............Kidding about the SRs of course.

 

Hey all, another first year newbie here, figured I'd help in the quest for 100!

Does much bottle trading go on? I'm planning to cart in a few extra bottles of New Glarus Wisconsin Belgian Red, Serendipity, and Raspberry Tart with hopes of trading with some non-Cheeseheads.

 

Bloobs is sold out as of 20 minutes ago

 

Yep, take a gander at the DLD trading spreadsheet which is in this thread. Have a good time.

 

On the train from Milwaukee to Chicago where I will be catching the 11am Jaks Shuttle (brother in laws choice).

Brought:
Todd the Axeman (4-pack)
Tyranena Kissers
KBS
Uncle Jacobs Stout
2014 Mirror Mirror
2015 Port O'Call
2015 Rum King

About 140 oz of beer

 

At the Best Western Northwest Indiana Inn in Hammond. Just got in. If anyone is up for some bottle sharing, BM me.

 

Packing gear for the weather tomorrow. Thinking about what I regretted to pack last year (8th year). Sudden thought; what would Johnie pack? Johnie is smart. Johnie is a professional. Be a smart beer fest professional like Johnie and prepare like he would so you are able to smile all day.

 

Dark Lord newbie. Can't wait for all the shares.

Brought:
Hoppin' Frog: 08 Boris, 14 Boris 200, BA Naked Evil, Infusion A, Mean Manalishi
Brew Kettle White Rajah
Fat Heads Head Hunter
Thirsty Dog BA Siberian Night
Jackie Os Oil of Aphrodite

Guys don't be noobs tomorrow

 

Finally did a trial run packing up my bag, and here is what I'm bringing:
Trillium Double Dry Hopped Fort Point
Trillium Galaxy Dry Hopped Fort Point
Trillium Double Dry Hopped Fort Point
Short's Batch 5000
Upland Malefactor
Central Waters Cassian Sunset

My buddy is bringing:
Belching Beaver Peanut Butter Milk Stout
Pipeworks The Hyper Dog (2015)
Firestone Walker Helldorado
GI BCBS Coffee (fingers crossed!)

 

Anybody have recommendations on a pizza place that delivers in Munster?

 

Edwardo's on Calumet Ave is really good. Thin crust and deep dish/stuffed both top notch

 

Your list is condescending.

Trillium isn't

 

I'm partial to either Sanfratellos or Aurelios. Both are good. Thin crust, not thick, though.

 

We were so dann close to 100, heading to bed. See y'all bright and early

Edit: rereading the dark lord day fax they don't have likits on back packs this year besides wheels.

 

Just wrapped up my list of beers that I am bringing:

Abraxas
Hailstorm Vlad the 2nd Vanilla
Hailstorm Vlad the 2nd Coffee
Off Color Coffee Dino Smores
Zombie Dust

 

Beers packed, rain suit purchased, tasting glasses washed and packed. All that's left is too get a good nights sleep and not throw out my back carrying this backpack tomorrow.

 

Ready for the rain...
Group C packing
Zombie dust
Death and taxes
Sip of sunshine
Heady topper
Taxman rye't off
