    What a difference a year makes. Last year at this time everyone was all over 18th St's jock, ragging on FFF and DLD. Glad the hype has settled a bit.

    That price is a joke. Their beer impressed me, initially. Now they are out pricing themselves over and over again. This event is just the latest example.

    At least that's fair. Have you seen my craft soda budget lately? I'd love to only have to drop $70 and still be able to know I can enjoy two of them. Tip of the hat for looking out for the teetotalers and what they do.

    Did this sell out quickly last year?

    With tix still available, it seems they may have found a price ceiling...

    And DLD doesn't require taking a day off work, for most.

    And a lot of their target audience may already be going to DLD the next day and not want to do back to back days with beer events.

    I saw the DD shirt design. It says "I paid $74.49 for two craft sodas & this f#@kin' t-shirt. Next time take Uber, jackass."

    It's on shelves at a minimum of 2 bottles shops less than 30 minutes from the brewery.

    Doesn't appear to be sold out, but the service they are using also shows how many people have purchased.

    160 for Session 1
    72 for Session 2

    I wonder what capacity is...

    New facility is huge, if they open up most of the brewing floor to lounging around. Could easily be a few hundred tickets per session.

    Last year it sold out very quickly but I think a lot of those who attended were underwhelmed (and it was significantly cheaper).

    I wish my impulse buying was restrained when I ordered. This event is costly. And $45 for a cognac BBCrazy?? This surely isn't a DL variant lol
