Darkness Day 2014 Thread

And now I'm regretting still being at work a little less.

 

Habanero Chocolate Stout, Rhubarb Wheat and Fresh Hop Pale Ale bottled and ready for sharing (after 2300 hours, sorry folks).

 

In line at darkness days real close to the front, friend searching for zombie dust, has a syx to trade possibly more

 

Sounds awesome. Hopefully she thins out a bit by the time we roll in around 8...

 

Stuck on the 100 off ramp. What a cluster

 

The real question is, when they move it to the new location next year will it be even more of a cluster with the U of M being only 4 blocks away?

 

Surly cannot have it at their new location next year because Surly needs to go through Brooklyn Center Municipal Liquor stores to sell it to the public at Darkness Day. Minneapolis do not have municipal liquor stores. So it has to be at the current Brooklyn Center location or not at all.

 

What time do the bottle shares really get in full swing? Debating whether to swing by surly now or hit up stub and herbs first for a couple of hours.

 

How's the ramp looking? Packing up now and heading to surly soon.

 

This is my first DD and first time on BA, I've read back through this post but still have some noob questions so forgive me!

If I come tonight do I just bring a sleeping bag to pass out on? No tents or anything? I assume you're not allowed to sleep in your car?

Also, I don't really have any whales in my cellar, just been into beer for a year or so. I have some BCBS, BCBCS, 2009 Sofie, some RR sours, and that's about it. What I do have though is cigars. Lots of cigars. Been doing that for years. Is smoking ok? I assume so since it's outdoors. Would I be able to trade some stogies for beer shares?

 

I hope you guys have fun tonight.

Keep the jackasses in line, and don't let this thing turn into the shitshow it could be with this great weather. I'm missing my first one in 5 years due to work commitments, but I'll raise a pint or two to you all in spirit!

 

How's it look number wise so far?

 

you have Cigars and some nice brew you will be fine enjoy DD and the weather

 

Almost 700 according to volunteer

 

Oude Oak sours, well done. Thanks for the samples.

 

Where's the blind beer it forward at?

 

anyone here want to trade their assassin for a 4 pack of 2012 bbpt5? Bm me

 

I think this must be something that most noob members feel at some time. If I decided to go to DD this year I would love to hang by you as we don't get anything you listed above in Ohio except the sofie. See, you will be hanging with people from all over the midwest and not everyone has access to everything you bring. It doesn't have to any kind of whale as far as I'm concerned.

 

Just in time to make some interesting debates for those at Darkness Day; Beer Advocate just gave the ability to pull up a top 50 beer list by state. Here is MN:

Do I need to head out now to not get shut out??
