Dark Lord Day 2016

Lets see some pics!

 

Ugg, i did this for my wedding with wine bottles, never again.

 

at class now, ill throw some up later this afternoon... I've been using the kinkajou cutter and have probably an 80% success rate with them coming out right.

 

This is probably old news to most of you but the looks like the webstore got another round of leftover merch. I was bummed I had missed on some of the shirt designs but was able to get them at the store (though ouch on shipping).

 

Now you too can own the world's coolest looking, most impractical bottle opener!

Seriously, that axe opener is cool as all get out but good luck opening anything with it.

 

It definitely takes a little extra torque, but for people who save their bottle caps, it looks awesome and works awesome. I don't save caps, but it's pretty cool for when I want to reseal a beer until the next day.

 

my axe works well, the edges are just very sharp and pointy. It actually kinda hurts to use.

So metal.

 

My axe works great as well, and perfect for saving caps!

 

The bottle opener does work absolutely perfect if you give it a swift strong pop. The cap will reseal on the bottle so tightly you can't always just push it off with your thumb again. Pretty awesome.. not a blemish on the cap at all

 

Can't...let...thread...die...

 

Anyone trade their DL 16(s) already or variant besides the one mentioned?

 

I traded one Dark Lord for a Green Man Snozzberry

 

I drank one....... Anybody else? Anybody drank them all?

 

Myself and @thatoneguymike drank both FVM and BB the Sunday after. I(we) found them absolutely awesome and I would pay $50 in a heartbeat for one again. Would I trade 17 bottles for one? Not a F&CKING chance!

 

You know that's how I felt when I was in that Group A maze entrance giving out Treehouse pours. I held my can outward and announced, "Treehouse anyone? Treehouse?" and there were no takers save the group I was already sharing with in front/back of me.

The only two people that recognized Treehouse/wanted some also shared some Surly Pentagram with me.

I had like four cans of Treehouse and surprised that the people in my proximity has never heard of them.

 

Those people upset me. I'd gulp your Treehouse!

And yes, Archer fans, "phrasing!" applies here.

 

That's pretty much the exact same response I had with the Trillium I brought.

 

I had a bit of a different experience. I was at Tree House Brewing on Wednesday before DLD and picked up some Julius and Sap. So, when my buddy and I lined up at 6:30 and started sharing, I pulled out Sap/Julius and asked: who wants some 4 day old Tree House beers? Glasses came flying at my from every angle! Was happy to share it with others around me. Other people shared some fantastic beers in return.

 

WHY COULDN'T I HAVE FOUND YOU PEOPLE???!!!

Granted I got to sample some great stuff anyways, but damn.

 

I traded one for 2 X Tree House's Double Shot (Colombia el Novado) + 1X TH That's What She Said. And I also just gave one to a good friend of mine who always wanted one.
