    First time back in the Hammond Courtyard since 2012. Do they still allow a bottle share to take place the night before DLD?

    Didn't see any other posts referencing this since 2013. Hope this isn't a double post.

    They did allow it last year, the conference room as always.

    i have a better idea... dont drink the nigt before, save your liver for the day of, and share the beer with everyone else opening bottles the next day

    My friend and I attended this bottle share in 2012, stayed up a lot later than we had planned (I think 2am ish) and got blackout drunk. Got a few hours of sleep at most and got in line for DLD just after 5am (still drunk). While I had a great time at the bottle share I won't do it again because I know I won't be able to go and not drink all the amazing beers that are opened. To everyone attending this year, have fun!

    if you have any self control whatsoever, there isnt any reason not to do both.

    No self control when it comes to a shit load of awesome bottles and growlers. HAVE TO drink them all!!

    Also, I wasn't the only one drinking until 2am and waking up before sunrise. A lot of ppl had a rough morning.

    At the Residence Inn next door with a buddy. We may head this way. I'm not sure because he knows some NY guys that will be in the area as well.
