Dark Lord Day 2024

Full Guest Brewery List. Either More Brewing are bringing something really special or they were a late add and FFF were too lazy to re-alphabetize the list.

 

Side Project definitely got at least one tapped because I got a pour of Bubble Wrap Blend #1; did not see any other SP and will agree I never saw a Hill Farmstead get tapped.

 

I fondly remember Hill's Mary being tapped early and pouring for hours in 2015, was my saving grace in that nightmare.

 

A dedicated line of AH Gravitace would be great for rehydration purposes.

So...we gonna get variants tonight or tomorrow morning before tickets go on sale or what?

 

I wish the draft beers at DLD were run more like a Great Taste-style tasting event, partly because it would encourage sampling and running through kegs quicker, and partly because the target audience is a little older now and can't handle pint after high-ABV pint all day. (What, just me?)

 

In that case they'd probably have to charge more and also provide sample glasses. I'd be for it, but that might also jeopardize the bottle share. It's easier for breweries to sell pours of their beer and be able to take the remainder back or sell it to FFF or some bar locally to kill off. I agree the huge pours of extra beer, even if you're paying for each one individually, are just too much to be able to even attempt to try them all.

 

Probably tomorrow before tickets.

 

Hi guys, so hoping to score tickets today like most of you are to I’m sure. My first post here because I have a question before I spend too much money on tix today.
Im buying a couple extra tix for a couple buddies to go but they will have no interest in the bottles given out to the deluxe ticket holders and I told them I’m only buying deluxe tickets, mainly for the tent plus of course all the side benefits. My question is, is it likely, and obviously is it legal, for me to sell their deluxe bottles there at the festival in order to recoup some of my ticket money?

Gotta keep that XX Anniversary variant top secret I guess

 

Weak sauce. No new variants. And XX doesn’t count. Guess the innovation has run out at FFF.

 

Psst. It has cardamom!

 

Holy crap, FVM isn't in dessert wine barrels anymore!

 

FVM in bourbon barrels might as well be a new variant.

 

At least Chemtrail is still in rye barrels.

EDIT: odds of them telling us what XX is before noon? I'm guessing very low.

 

The better question is how much XX will they have left to sell at the next 7 DLDs?

 

Sell the anniversary variant? For folks who purchased the Deluxe ticket last year, it's like getting a free extra bottle this year. Even the Standard ticket scratch-off winners are getting an extra bottle this year. FFF are giving the anniversary variant away

 

Considering they sell variants like 5+ years later, or things like Baller Stout that were supposed to be for a different fest only. I’m confident we’ll see availability in the future for bottles for XX.

 

JOVAN actually sounds more enticing to me this year than the first time around.

This is a strangely long wait to even begin the process.

 

Wow I thought I was quick, but a decent wait right at 12:00
