    I was thinking of having a gathering of people at a BYOB bar in Chicago or western burbs (date/location yet to be decided) for a barrel aged dark lord line up. I have a bourbon barrel aged and my friend has the vanilla bourbon barrel aged. So if you bring a BA dark lord then you and a guest get to come and try out all of them. Obviously it would be great if we could get every variant in on this. Also I’m open to suggestions on a venue if you have ideas for that. So who wants in and what do ya got?

    A few friends and I were planning on doing '05-Present DL vertical with 1 or 2 BA variants on Sept 22. I wouldn't oppose trying to merge the two events...

    That sounds amazing! Did you have a a venue in mind?

    I think it would be amazing to get both of these tastings joined up, but is it at all possible to maybe move it back a weekend to the 29th? Its just that the 22nd is Revolution's Oktoberfest and we were planning on going. I haven't purchased tickets yet though, and I'd rather do the tasting, it is just something to consider if anyone else was hoping to go to Rev's party.

    id be willing to host the event in river north area. I'm around the corner from the merch mart for cta access. lou malnati's is right around the corner and i also have plenty of other beers I've been meaning to crack so this would be the perfect opportunity.

    That sounds perfect. Seems most restaurants would charge a "corking fee" per bottle so that would probably work out much better. Is there a day that works best for you? Not sure how flexable wsnich is on the date but a 05-12 vertical would be a sweet addition.

    I live in Texas currently and only in town for just that weekend, so I'm not really flexible. I'd like to see this work out, but understand if you all would rather do this another weekend. We had looked into Rev's party, just seemed too pricey and we have limited time in the city.

    Ideally I would like to bring just 1 bottle, however if my girlfriend comes (who also loves and appreciates beer) I would consider 2 or 3 bottles.
