    Same PDF as the map on page 2. It loads screwy on computers but comes up fine on the iPhone.

    Ah I see. Yeah didn't load immediately on the PC for some reason. I was hoping for a beer menu. Taps or the BADL list would be nice to see.

    For bottle shares Friday evening at Hampton Inn & Suites Munster, Saturday in line before DLD, and at DLD.
    Because sharing is caring.
    Trading also possible.

    I'm pretty sure it's for investors and industry friends.

    Investors have their own area, but I think they likely get VIP also.

    What time do the folks staying at the Hampton Schererville want to meet up for a share on Friday night?

    Interesting tidbit from the email I just received regarding instructions for DLD.

    "Additionally, while Dark Lord Day is an event designed to allow guests to share craft beer, we reserve the right to limit quantities and types of beer brought into the festival."

    I wonder how they will make determinations on what beer is "worthy" enough to make it through the gates.

    I read that to mean no Bud, Miller, Coors, Natty, etc. And even if it is good beer, don't come hauling backpack after backpack of it. They know people will get sloshed enough as it is. No need to make it more of shitshow than it already will be.

    They generalized the answer in the FAQs:

    "We allow people to bring limited amounts of beer for trading and sampling with other beer lovers. The idea is to celebrate craft beer, so we ask that you only bring in beers that are unique – ones that can’t be found just anywhere. Please no beers that can be found at any corner market."

    It's fantastic. I picked up five bottles at the time, down to three at this point.

    It would be nice if you didn't have to use a mirror to read the festival map and menu, so metal I guess.
