    My 1st DLD also. Not sure how they are going to check the ounce limit. It says it must fit in a backpack.. so I am thinking as long as it fits in a backpack I am good. Just to CYA for them and to reduce from the huge limits in previous years.

    That said I am thinking on bringing The Truffle, BAMC, and Creature Comforts/Fonta Flora mix cultured goodies. Maybe some Casey.

    My first DLD as well, good to know there will be so many other first timers that highly underestimate how fucked up they'll be by noon and there's still 9 hours on the grounds after that.

    I've got some black tuesday, cbs, bcb stout and bcb barleywine, one or two other neat things I'll bring. Anyone showing up with central waters black gold and/or TG SR71 that wants to be friends?

    A Short Play inspired by bmr29’s life:

    [wakes up]
    [goes to beer forum]
    [goes to thread about a beer festival that contains no useful information]
    [makes fun of other people for talking about beer]
    [pats self on back]
    [cries, softly, while muttering “why am I so alone?”]
    [presses play on his boom box]
    [tape engages with slight static]
    [the cool sounds of Seal’s Kiss by a Rose starts playing]
    [cracks a Miller Lite]

    Thinking about bringing a BA IGCCS and DL Aquavit as well, but that's on the off chance I'm feeling stupid silly the night before.

    I actually had that on cassette lmfao

    Yeah. I brought a Cantillon last year and opened it with a corkscrew that I brought.

    ... well, actually I didn't open it myself. One of my friends did because I couldn't work the corkscrew by that point and I kept butchering the cork.

    Yeah that shouldn't be a problem. I always bring a travel corkscrew for myself and others who forgot - it's not as nice as a server corkscrew, but it doesn't look like a knife, so I have no worries about an overenthusiastic security guard confiscating it.

    I'm surprised no one has said anything about the variant list that's been up for a few hours now.

    I heard Coming Soon is supposed to be an amazing variant.

    i was thinking of bringing one that has the little "knife" on the bottom to cut wax in addition to the ability to remove corks. i guess i can just stick it in my pocket or jam it down in the bottom of my bag.

    Let's hope things don't go down that route at DLD.
