Here's a question... total TB noob, but anybody live really far away and would be interested in me purchasing a second ticket and sending you, who cannot make it to the fest, the beer allotment? I want to bring my fiance, but at the same time I don't want or need 400 dollars worth of Dark Lord. I'll send you the bottles, you pay the ticket. We all get Dark Lord and my fiance gets to come and I don't have to drop $400 on a beer fest.

I don't know if this would be posted in trades? Not sure if people do stuff like this.. but if anyone is interested, let me know.

You'll likely have some success with this after ticket sales close/are sold out on Saturday, and I believe there will be a lot of people trying to do this same thing. Technically, though, you are not selling the ticket, and are selling beer (I believe this is not allowed here), presumably for a price more than you paid, which is (depending on who you talk to) generally frowned upon.

I think someone will probably take you up on this, but personally I would have a hard time paying that much and not knowing which variant I was getting. The true "gopickitupforme " price is probably $130 too, not $200.

Yeah a fair amount of that ticket is for food/drink vouchers ($40) and general fest entry ($30?). I think it's a good idea but the receiver of the beer should really be expected to pay something closer to $130 plus shipping costs.

Right I get you. I hate that there are no GA tickets for this exact reason. Now we can't go enjoy this fest together without spending $400 on (mainly) Dark Lord. I was considering taking the beer from the second ticket and saving it for trades, but it's hard to stomach $400 for DLD. I just want to go to this thing together and not pay $400.

Can I assume the usual outside-the-gates compound will still be compounding this year?

elkhunter36?
powz87?
Lansman?
???

Will barrel-aged water be included in entry this year?

Plans are in the works yes. There has been some discussion of moving the compound due to the cost of the sight and the fact that the owner is a D-Bag. woodchopper has his eye on a spot at the south gate and is checking on it.

But yes there will be a compound somewhere I will keep you updated.

And barrel aged water will be there as well.

Oh man, two TB compounds at the south gate would be a shitshow in the awesomest way.

We are currently seeking input on what folks want to see for annual DLD pong this year. Juicy Pong was thrown around, but it will be too 'old' by the time DLD arrives.

I thought that having Yellow Rose pong might be fun. Anyone have a hookup to potentially get 18-24 bottles in mid-April?

You're going to war with the Rose-Hulman people? They've been on that corner by the firehouse for years. Good people too.

Get some Hoof Hearted baby diarrhea colored IPAs. I want to see some vomit late in the day, dammit.

I'll do this as I actually cannot go as I'll be out of town regardless and was thinking of offering that very deal (I get the beers, you get the admission and vouchers) to someone if they were interested.

Bourbon County Pong?

If this happens, I'll bring chunder buckets to keep at each end of the table.

We did it with Baller Stout aka the Three Floyds XV anniversary beer.

It ended with very drunk people in various stages of undress and myself putting my knee through the back of a toilet.

Great success.
