************* 4elf

[Boilerfood]

dare I say I think darklord day is a walk in the park when comparing the two....

I had a buddy ask me about this. DLD was way, way, more fun/laid back/not embarrassing to be at than this event is. This isn't a knock on DH. They don't control the weather, or the stupidity, but holy cow people its JUST BEER.

I was 432 at 9:00. 5 hours for a hundred places doesn't seem worth it to me. Sure, I may only be able to get a bottle of toilet water, but worse **** happens.

Yeah not knocking Dark Horse by any means there were just a lot of dumb ***** making it hard to enjoy the good people and great beer.

Damn, I knew it had to be good!

We made it. After dropping of our order form (#55) we napped in the car at a Burger King parking lot.

Woke up to a dead battery and a wicked hangover. Some local jumped us and now we're waiting in the parking lot for our bottles. Gonna be a great drive back to Detroit in the blizzard.

Always nice hanging with Wade5614 Spartan213 mtrog313

Who's nose did you break lurchingbeast? And I am disappoint if it was only one.

 

[Dunt1]

Went to the first 4elf party and said I'll never go back. Looks like Solstice was the better decision.

Place is pretty dead. No wait for any taps. BB Plead is good.

Picking up orders was a fairly painless 10 minute process.

Anybody wanna recap what happened here?!

Can't but here is a reenactment of 2 beer geeks going at it.

Rumor mill says the one dude could throw down. Evidence supporting would be the other guy's exploded face.

The line was similar to last year except it was colder and you had to lineup at midnight....but buying beer was a breeze

I wonder who the guy is with the iron fist....

Wasn't/not there, but I would like a first hand account as well.

Fall-down drunk and he can throw hands? Ultimate bar-fight champ of central MI??

Multiple reports say dude had fast hands....no drunk saw it coming

I imagine it looked like the time my drunk-assed friend (blackout) tried to fight a local MMA feller. Hardest connected headshot I've ever seen. Kid ate it somehow (while stumbling backward toward us) and managed to turn and slur "Eyeh gawt ehm".

By that time the other dude had hit a duck under and was choking thee everloving shot out of him.

Poor kid...hilarious to this day though.

Just to clarify for our friends in warmer regions, getting jumped is good in this instance.

Any recommendations for stuff flying under the radar deserving a ticket? I seem to be guessing wrong...a lot.

Aside from Plead which is always worth a ticket... I liked the 666 and the KBE II was tasty too. The anniversary beer isn't all that bad and where the wild was drinkable for sure.

lurchingbeast it was nice meeting you.

 

[Romulux]

I did not go to the party and the snow was getting bad and I had a ticket number in the 230's. So, I kept checking (3 different times) if they would let me pick my beer up maybe a little early so I could hit the road. They said no, all 3 times and kept telling me that my scheduled time for pickup was 4:15. Fine, it is their rules and it is not a problem for me but I thought, no harm in asking.

So, I get in line at 4 (15 minutes before my scheduled pick up) and they are calling out numbers that are 60 past mine. WTF.....good stuff! Nothing surprises me at these damn things.

Yeah, I can't believe he didn't come over to the Fastenal parking lot, where I was sleeping in my car, to say hi. What an *******.

For real, of the >100 beer site folks I've had the pleasure of meeting lurchingbeast is EASILY in the top 85 I'd like to drink with again.

Polymer Long John was the horrible miss of the year. Acetone.

Everything else they bottled was pretty ****** good on tap.
