Darklord Day 2017

I split a bottle of Rue with a friend last night. It was fantastic and got so much better as it warmed up. Hoping to find it on tap tomorrow.

 

right, sorry, guess I met howler. and yeah, will drink it in the line ride.

 

Any word on if anything is being released at FFF today?

 

If I'm coherent enough to know the left bower; i'd be down for some DLD drunken Euchre action!

 

Dark Lord News! The fest has begun for some people!

 

I am so in for this!!! My whole group loves euchre and beer. This couldn't get any better!

 

This is just a guess, but getting there at 8:45, you might have the longest line of the day to enter the staging area. The staging area will start clearing out at 9. But that will also take time. Guessing you'll be ok but who really knows.

 

This is where corked bottles (or '15 BCBS) will come in handy. But before there can be a second cork-gunman on the grassy knoll, we need to get a first cork-gunman in the FFF book depository above the treehouse. Volunteers?

 

Final (subject to change) list. I decided to bring as much non-Chicago market stuff since a majority of people will be from around the Midwest.

Trillium - Misc Cans x12
Fremont - First Nail
Grimm - Double Negative
Modern Times - Monsters' Park (Bourbon Barrels)
Perrenial - Abraxas
Smog City - Snugglebug

May also bring a BA Jones Dog or BA Darkness as well.

I'll try to swing by the Knoll at some point. I will probably be in a black/gray Red Door Brewing shirt.

 

I noticed some people are saying they were bringing Schramms mead in their lineup. Wanting to bring some Madeline myself to share with others who might have never tasted their liquid gold... I am wondering:

Will they let you enter with this?

Rules say

• No wine or liquor is allowed on the premises.

 

Just play it cool walking in. Most people checking your bag won't know the difference and you can walk right in with it.

 

My liver is tingling with anticipation...at least I hope that's anticipation.

 

I'm taking a half day on Monday.

 

What beer are we talking about?

 

Bringing mead to a beerfest is like bringing hip hop to a metalfest, you can do it, but people are only going to remember getting screwed out of their variants....

 

That scotch abyss was the only thing I've ever enjoyed in a scotch barrel. Also the Brandy abyss is pretty damn good.

 

ISO: Dragon Abortion glassware

 

GDDC (Galactic Double Daisy Cutter). Sorry too many damn acronyms in this thread as it is.

 

The $5 mug with free refills saved more than a few of us last year. Doesn't hurt that their coffee is pretty fantastic as well!

 

Today at the Hampton in Munster,

Or perhaps trepidation?
