Darklord Day 2017

116... We have surpassed last year.

It's been an honor gentlemen.

 

You stated that wrong... you are bringing the rye hipster to hand to the guy in the white DA shirt.

 

What I was originally planning on bringing has changed a lot. Bringing a crowler of squeezit and corridors next IPA offering. A few other fresh IPA's then a few BA offerings

 

I'm just being honest. These people aren't three floyds workers. They can be briefed as much as they want but they are just there trying to do their best at the event. Something will falter. It happens every year. Hopefully this year is different.

 

Man, I too wanted to show my braggadocios image of FVM and Handjee being consumed, but I apparently suck at linking imgur.

Just know 9 months ago it was delicious...and also that I clearly have no patience.

 

In exactly two weeks, I'll be hung over, wondering where I left my car, wondering what happened to my allotment, and wondering where I spent all of that money I had 24 hours earlier. I will also be wondering how I am going to drive back to Ohio with a raging headache, so I can make it to my wife and mother to celebrate Mother's Day. Finally. I will be wondering when tickets will go on sale for DLD 2018. Cannot wait!

 

Damn them for scheduling it the day before Mother's day. No skin off my ass really. But a drive back to Ohio the next day. You da real MVP.

 

Anyone looking for a lanyard to attach the the salt shaker thing: got one of these for $1 at AIHB http://www.homebrewing.org/AIH-Lanyard-Bottle-Opener-with-SRM-Chart_p_2127.html

I may not be thinking clearly but I still don't see how that would hold on to the mason jar?

 

There's a clip on the very bottom of that lanyard that would hook onto the handle of the salt and pepper shaker mini mason jar.

 

I've also noticed people talking about this method and how it doesn't hold their beer straight up and it'll spill...
That's true. It will. This method is used to hold your glass in between pours, not to hold your pours. When I get a pour I drink it. You'll need one of the other lanyard/drinking glass set ups if you need a beer holder.

 

exactly, you pour I drink lol....beer holders are good if you're at a picnic not DLD

 

Yes. I use my mini mason jar lanyard just so I don't set it down anywhere and forget about it. The jar is so small, you are only getting a 2 oz pour of stuff in it so it doesn't last longer than a couple minutes so there's no need to hold onto the beer. Too much good beer being shared there to get any more than a couple oz's of someone sharing with you, anyway. Only time I'm getting big pours is from the guest taps. Those are served in plastic cups so I don't mind double fisting LOL! But even those guest tap pours I get, I share with my crew that I attend DLD with.

 

My apologies for posting something actually relevant, but looks like Flossmoor is rebrewing Wooden Hell this year.

 

I have these weird rubber wine glasses that I bring to DLD. They are nice because they won't break when I enevitably drip it, and I can fold it up and stuff it in my pocket when I'm not using it.

 

I will be doing the same the same thing and it's my wife's first mothers day. I will be driving back to middle of the state pa. So maybe I'll see you at a rest stop on 80...

 

Driving back to Cleveland again this year. Last year I was so hungover I though a getgo fuel tanker was hauling coffee because it said to follow him for fresh coffee.

 

Hey can someone give me a review of the necromancer? I wake up at 4am everyday and have since gotten into coffee the last year and a half or so. If I drink necromancer in an empty stomach in the morning will I feel like I sprinted to work, when in reality I drove 10 miles? If so I need some this year for sure

Trying to limit what I buy this year.

Also to anyone that bought them how's your FFF Ax opener doing? Mine has a nice bend in it do to Hill Farmsteads tight ass caps

 

I can't comment on the Necromancer, but my Axe Bottle Opener is doing fine. No bends yet.
