    Whoever decides to spike their Dark Lord better play this song loud enough for everyone to hear leading up to the impact.

    Latest weather forecasts I just saw look promising. Mix of sun and clouds and high in the upper 60's. Only a slight chance of rain.

    Approximately $50 of your $180 ticket price is toward the variant/vintage bottles. Even if you were to get the two vintage bottles, you are 'losing' less than 30% of your ticket purchase on old stock (as an aside, wouldn't it be a bummer to be saddled with old stock in the next Black Friday line? :wink:). Doesn't seem a total loss, especially for people like us who aren't just going for the whalze bro and are looking to enjoy DLD.

    woah, woah, woah. Now we want infected beer over non-infected beer!? This thread has really come off the hinges. Now I've seen it all

    Coming up from Cincy in a RV...and then read no RV's allowed in the business park. Anyone know of private lots, fields, anywhere I can park this thing? Cheers

    Besides 2 vintage bottles are easily worth $50. $25 a piece for 1-3 year aged Dark Lord is more than a fair price. The only discrepancy is the secondary value.

    Hey!! I have had some infected beers turn out quite good. some have been # drainpour. I know its a gamble but so is aging beer. I'm just thinking it could be worth it for something that might maybe could be spectacular.

    Told myself I would stay out of this discussion, but a someone who organizes a large group of beer lovers from all over the country to congregate at this particular festival, the thought of lots of vintage feels like a slap in the face considering the pre-paid nature of the event. If a large percentage of us get vintage instead of any variant, I will push for our yearly beer event to a different brewery.

    Thus far 5 years running, Indiana native so large fan of FFF but there are so many other well run and enjoyable festivals if you are willing to travel just for a share/festival as opposed to snagging favorable bottles to go.

    I'm not sure if it would be appropriate for DLD but they do offer a Christian Atmosphere.

    Yeah, but a lot of people already have those bottles and I think quite a few aren't looking for any more of them. And, you can't just swap those 2 vintage bottles for $50 easily.

    Oh man. One of you lovely folks bringing Last Buffalo, please come find me - that one has managed to elude me thus far. You can have your pick of pours from my stash!

    I second that nomination. If you and your brother even have one pour from each of those without touching anything else, you are gonna be lit.
