    I've always brought sharin' beers to Dark Lord Day but I've never set up a table of my own. I was wondering if anyone else might want to coordinate efforts so we can set up a nice spread. Here's what I'm willing to bring:

    Surly Bender, Furious, and whatever else is available the week before DLD
    Hill Farmstead's Twilight of the Idols
    Central Waters Peruvian Morning and Bourbon Barrel Barleywine
    Speedway Stout
    RR Damnation
    BCBS Coffee
    Upland's Gilgamesh
    2012 Parabola
    Jubel 2010

    I'll also be bringing growlers from Greenbush, Sun King, and Minneapolis Town Hall.

    I'm frankly tired of wandering and find a great deal of appeal to parking my ass in a single spot for several hours.

    I echo frank's statement - organizing anything outside a one on one trade at DLD just simply won't happen. Hell it doesn't even happen on FFF's end.

    Coordinating doesn't matter. There will be multiples of most bottles. I brought a Wanderer last year because a few people wanted to try it. Some random person walked up with one a half hour after we opened my bottle so we had it twice haha.

    I hear ya. Ill spare everyone the stereotypical "Back in my day!" rant. Anyway, I'll be walking around the early hrs (group A) with my last King Henry in my backpack. If anyone want to crack open some killer brews somewhere let me know and ill bring that and whatever else i can.

    Last year I shared whatever I open with whoever is around me. If I bump into someone I knew, I'd share with them.

    Simplest solution: Bring a table with your crew. Fill it with 20 or so items and the gawkers, myself included, will saunter by, see what you have, likely shoot the shit about a fair chunk of them and then open something fresh. We'll stay for a while and then likely meet up with other friends, who will be at other tables and so the legend goes.

    Though it would be pretty hilarious to see table wars, with different BAs trying to outdo each other in terms of rarity. Like a way drunker Parade of Roses.

    I'm poppin up a table, and plan on bringing 10 gallons of water (so I can pee every 10 minutes) and will have several turds with me. If it's cold, look for the Giants jacket, if it's not cold, look for the naked guy.

    Well, for year rounds I love me some Size 7. Also enjoy Rainmaker and Dissent. You have any Lunker? I saw they just tapped that in the taproom last weekend. Don't know if they're pouring growlers of that or not? Have you heard anything about the Size 11 release this year? I haven't seen anything but I know it's about that time.
