Dark Lord Day (2023)

Odds of pulling 3x Naturally Upset in one allotment? High.

 

Is this some punny @HouseofWortship thing? If not, FFF already said each bag will have three different variants, no doubles or triples.

 

You've never seen my ability to defeat all probabilities in a lottery then, have you?

 

I like all the variants. Really solid in my opinion. Naturally Upset will be my top/hope-for variant but honestly they all look good. It sounds a bit absurd but I'd probably least prefer Chemtrailmix and Handjee since I've had those many times, and that's saying something for the variants available this year.

 

Not absurd at all. I feel the same way. Somehow I've been bombarded with Handjee and Chemtrail over the past 3 years between the switch to two variants per allocation, vintage allocation options, ability to purchase more than one allocation, and the reduction in types of variants (3 to 4 vs like 10). This is probably why I'm disappointed there aren't more options to reduce my chance of landing those two. All's well that ends whale...

 

Anyone hear of any shuttles besides the Open Bottle ones? Looks like Reggie’s is using their bus for White Sox that day instead. Beer on the Wall responded to a DM that neither store is offering a shuttle this year, unlike 2019. Hoping for something in the NW burbs but anything in the city proper would work too.

 

I'll pass on this, but still be happy with the regular $200 ticket and what it includes. I don't think the extra $133 will be worth the Deluxe upgrade.

 

Also includes a signed photo from Nick Floyd giving you the finger…

 

Agree with all - there are no bad variants this year. I’ll be happy to get any of them. All killer … no filler! Also passing on the extra $130+ … not for me. Hopefully the pre-sale will all get first access to Group A! Just nice to snag bottles to get that out of the way and enjoy rest of day. Stoked this is finally happening again!

 

C'mon, you can't even let them select their three different variant bottles? #DeluxeFail #PlebesPrevail

 

I have a pic of him flipping me off lol.

 

Raspberry BA behemoth was totally worth it though.

 

looks like it’s vintages that won’t be available outside the deluxe tent. As in this years variants will be available for everyone, and the deluxe tent will have older variants (c’mon Brandy Vanilla…or pappy dark lord…oh man)

“The Deluxe tent is located in the stage lot and includes access to an exclusive bar featuring rare barrel-aged Dark Lord variants from the 3 Floyds vault with tap times, private restrooms, and a separate food tent. The specialty beer and food is available for purchase in the Deluxe tent.”

 

Any DL variants produced in the past 3-4 years are not rare and I would guess they would have those outside the deluxe tent as they have in years past. What DL variants have been one off non-DLD variants they have taken elsewhere? Malort ones are the only ones that comes to mind. Are they really sitting on beers older than 10 years? I would be shocked.

 

Just wait until the Deluxe holders get to those taps and see a row of Turtledogg, Temeculan 3000, Earl of Biggleswade and Dia Oscuro tap handles waiting as their ultra rare variants.

 

I've had Earl, Temec, and My Rod My Comfort, so the prospect of getting Turtledogged has me morbidly intrigued considering all these years of horror stories.

 

This isn't a joke, even though it may sound like one, but @Quilentro and I were a part of a group of 4 that went to DLD that year (along with @croush and @kdawgmoney) and 3 of 4 got Tutledogged. I don't think there were 600 bottles total.
