Dark Lord 2012

I know they likely dont have the room for all the guests brewers, but I really really hope its something more akin to how they did guest taps at XV. You have many tables, one for each brewery. Even if each table had 2 or 3 brewers, that would be so so so much bette than 1 location with 1 huge line. Most people can spend the entire day just getting in line, buying a beer or 3, and then right back in line, with plenty of time to finish your pours before making it back to the front. It makes me almost anxious just thinking about that. XV style please!

 

True. But the question I was answering was about the DL line.

 

Anyone know the group that is doing the BCBS vertical tasting on Saturday? There was a thread going but I think it was closed, or I just didn't set it to watch and now can't locate it. I was going to bring a Big John to the party and join in, and hope it wasn't canceled

 

We have comped tickets and are able to go through at any time. Sorry I left that part out.

Thanks for the info guys. Cheers.

 

It was fatkidrevolution.

 

Anyone bringing a BA HiFi to crack open? I've got a regular HiFi that I plan to open but would really love to try it side by side with the BA version.

 

I can't find it either. i replied to the thread and offered to bring a 2011. Hmmmm

 

Not coming up now until tomorrow so I canceled my room at Munster Hampton Inn in case anyone still looking for a room

 

Mutiple small tents, randomly placed throughout the parking lot going up now. A fairly large tasting/sharing tent. It appears they will have lots of seating at picnic tables. Looks like a large tent like at the XV party will be set up later this afternoon. Bathroom situation same as XV party as well. Parking across Calumet at the park for $10. Don't know what time they open in the morning?

 

Oh thank god, at least for the tent situation. If its going to rain, I prefer the large circus tent with multiple tables for guest drafts. There are more people than at XV though so I am curious how crowded it will get

 

For the large tent - is this tent going up to encompass the majority of the parking lot out front, or is it similar to the tents used at DLD 11 that only covered a very small amount of the space?

 

I am judging by the amount of picnic tables that a large tent like the XV party is planned. It will probably be up in a few hours.

 

Is this confirmed?

 

i just picture awdturboiv in camo with binoculars scoping the grounds from a far...good work dude.

 

Signs out front along Calumet that say "Event Parking $10"

 

Thanks.

 

Google Maps says the walk from Centennial Park (across the street of FFF with lots of parking available) is around 0.6 miles each way. That's a pretty rough walk in low 40-degree temps, 20 mph winds, with a couple cases of FFF and Dark Lord bottles. Anyone choosing to park over there should consider bringing some method of transporting all your bottles, such as a dolly, if possible!

 

I was able to use a dolly from FFF at DLD last year, but no guarantee they will be letting people use it again. I definitely recommend bringing some sort of dolly if you plan to lug a lot of stuff from far away

 

When is high on fire going on...I've never made it to the headliner but might this year

 

Will a Group A ticket holder be denied a chance to buy Dark Lord if he shows up for Group C?
