2017 Dark Lord Day

[PatrickGoss]

I will in the Holiday in express in Schererville.

We had a great share there last year on Friday night. Would you like a phone number for the guy that is pushing doing it again?

 

[CrimsonYeti]

Sure. I'll be there from Thursday to sunday. I like to go to the brewpub the day before. As of right now they have a good amount of stuff on tap thats not being bottled.

I went last year to the brewpub the day before and then ended up waiting in line for the Bloobs release. Got close to the front and had to leave because we went to 18th st Barrel massacre. What a rip off that was!

 

[CrimsonYeti]

I got Bloobs last year . Amazing sour btw. To expensive though. We were probably in line at the same time. So the barreal massacre was bad?

 

[b-boy]

I'm at the Best Western in Hammond.

Yeahh. I mean it was fun but you only had like an hour and a half to drink like 12 beers. Everything was just very rushed and over priced for what you got out of it.

 

[MapleGroveAleworks]

Hampton Inn Schererville for me. Fun bottle share usually goes on there.

 

[CrimsonYeti]

Well. A week to go. Variants are up on the site. I will be at the holiday inn in Schererville if anyone is interested in a bottle share Friday or Saturday after. Im in group E.

 

[treacheroustexan]

See you Saturday.

Will you be staying at Best Western?

 

[PatrickGoss]

Yep. Saturday night only though.

 

[treacheroustexan]

Yep. Saturday night only though.

Cool I'l be bringing these along with some more stuff I'm getting next week. We will be having a lobby share Friday and saturday. Not looking forward to the 6 hr drive home sunday.

Stop on by.

 

[CrimsonYeti]

May have to. Looks like a short walk.

 

[PatrickGoss]

Well done Three Floyds! My group E ticket just became awesome.

 

[TallDan]

Won't be happy if I end up with vintages I already have with my group b.

I have a simple answer to avoiding that.... drink all of your 16's this week!

 

[treacheroustexan]

I'm group B as well but I love the decision. Makes my day less stressful. I could see if group A was more expensive, but the tickets were all the same price.

I generally agree. Would have been nice if this was announced before the ticket sale. Now the last groups are the best, less time to have to carry around the bottles. And no matter how they're split up, I wouldn't be too happy with the vintage bottles instead of the variant.

Current forecast shows a high of 58F, overcast with scattered showers. Let's hope that improves a little this week.

Valid point.

I threw out my rain boots I bought last year in hopes I wouldn't need them this year. I'l take the 58 with minimal rain though.

58 and overcast sounds fairly nice for DLD. If the rain is minimal, I like standing around in a jacket or sweatshirt. What I don't like is layered rain gear and ultimately ending up soaked and cold anyway.

Agreed. Wet and cold is a no go.

 

[PatrickGoss]

I will still go.

Hell, I am there now.... no lines!

 

[CrimsonYeti]

Yeah. I will be too. I am going Thursday before DLD. My brother and i are going to 18th street and deviate brewing as well.

Deviate is awesome. While in Indy Black Acre is likely a close second. Daredevil makes a good IPA but it can be had at every grocery store in Indiana.

18th st is awesome. We make a stop there every time we visit floyds.

 

[PatrickGoss]

Side note for all who are going and might want to share or get a pour from a fellow HBT guy: I will be the 6'4" guy in a white t-shirt that says: "Dragon Abortion"

it is best that you don't ask why.

From my experience, T-shirts are useless at DLD.

What kind of raincoat will you be wearing?

That's the question...

I'll be wearing a black Minor Threat T-Shirt with a picture of Ronald Reagan (with a mohawk). It will, however, be covered by a blue hooded raincoat.

Maybe not. Updated forecast says 63 and clear.

I'll believe it when I see it.
