    Since they moved DLD back a week from Mother's Day, what is the MILM ratio going to be?

    *******ATTENTION******ACTUAL INFORMATION ON DLD*****

    They won't announce ticket sale specifics until sometime in late February at the earliest, but usually in early March. Tickets usually go on sale sometime around St.Patricks day.

    Anyone ever stay at the Hammond Best Western off of I-94? Booked some rooms seemed good enough for me to crash for a few days.

    Thank you for using the disclaimer. People, this is massively important. Noobs can get their information, while the DLD vets know to blow past and resume shit-flinging. End PSA!

    It was recently renovated, and it's not in a bad area at all (assuming you're talking about the BW at Cline Ave (IN 912)?). No worries, you chose well.

    Never been to DLD. If you take the vintage option, is it just the year prior or multiple years and you choose?

    One cannot assume the vintage option will be there in 2018. There are a few theories as to why there was a vintage option in 2017. In 2017, you were handed a bag with your bottles (DLD bottles + (variant or vintage bottles)). There was no choosing involved. Bottom line is, do not assume 2018 will be like 2017 or any previous year for that matter. Wait for details to come out like everyone else.

    Guessing game! Post an actual answer and a wildly speculative answer as to why there was so much vintage to be able to include it last year.

    Too few dragon abortions in 2016 led to an angry Dark Lord who spawned surplus vintage bottles into tote bags for 2017.

    Too many neckbeards were sick of back-to-back years of shitty weather and skipped out in 2016, leaving surplus bottles. This led to a coordinated effort, organized by the Dark Lord, to slander Dark Lord (the beer) in online forums, decreasing its trade value to make neckbeard tears saltier (and therefore more delicious).

    Now YOU have to guess which one is which. :laughing:

    Only FFF could build a distillery and not have enough barrels for variants.

    In fairness, any real barrel aged distillery should not release anything for a good 10 years. So those barrels are being used.

    However, they need to release the damn baijiu they talked about already. I need some of that in my life.

    I'm beginning to think they through the idea of a distillery into their business plan to ensure they could secure a loan from the bank for their expanded production facility. Other than a fancy "fff distillery" sign on the Brewery addition, has there been any indication that distilling operations have begun 3 years later?

    Every time a bourbon county infection rumour starts, a dark lord gets its demonic wings.
