Dark Lord 2016

[jdd419]

8:15am on the shuttle.

Same here. Got an 8 pack with KBS 2x'14, 2x'16, SMS x2, Hipster Brunch x2. Hopefully the hipster isn't infected.

I figured this would help get people talking on the bus and in line first thing.

New DLD INFO OMG RARE WHALEZ VANILLA!!!!!!!!!!!

https://www.dnainfo.com/chicago/201...feature-some-20-different-types-of-famed-beer

Interesting twist with the BADLs is that they'll have different label art depending on the variant. Looks like these will be our generation's Pokemon. Gotta catch em all!

 

[BoatsAndHoes]

Gotta sell em all!

Gotta trade em all!

FTFY

"In order to get one, you have to buy one of the $200 tickets — which sold out almost immediately — that guarantees drinkers, among other things, a four pack of Dark Lord and a randomly selected 22-ounce bottle of the rare barrel age varieties."

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......

It's known by some as "the most wanted beer in the world."

"a randomly selected 22-ounce bottle of the rare barrel age varieties."

If I get stuck with Earl of Mr. Bigglesworth after waking up at 6am like a chump, I'm going to be rather irritated.

Can't wait to drink all my dark lord

Hasn't FFF already confirmed it's first come first served on the BA DL variants?

So you have the board marked into 12 sections designated for variants. If you miss the board, you get Biggleswade.

First come first served...TO PICK UP YOUR BAG.

In all seriousness, I think it's kind of interesting that this one sentence will make people speculate and become uneasy (for no reason) as folks go through the line and ultimately select the variant they want after they pick up their 4-pack.

On the other hand, if this IS true, it would be a fantastic troll by FFF to fill Group A bags with Earl and Group E bags with ZOMG VANILLA.

If this were the case I'm pretty sure that Three Floyd's would be burnt to the ground by mid-afternoon.

I trust the DLD FAQ over some DNA info writer, but we'll see I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah, when I read that "random" part I assumed the writer was incorrect.

 

[brewtus1]

The token for beer thing is more of bummer . Waiting to get tokens to wait to get beer.

I get the idea, but def not expecting all beers to be $5 again

Didn't FFF already burn to the ground at least once?

Sorry.

 

[Lansman]

I mean, at the very top of the page it says "*All information is subject to change*" and then "Please note that specific details of the Dark Lord Day 2016 event may change. Check back frequently as we will continue to update this page and answer your questions."

It certainly wouldn't be the first time a brewery decided to change things up a bit to make things run (arguably, who knows) a bit more smoothly...

 

[franch]

fully in favor of randomly selected variant under the **** Y'all, I'm Group E policy

 

[mjohnson171]

Why not? I have no reason to believe that things wouldn't be the same price just different size glasses depending on the beer. Just like in years past.
I liked the idea of every beer was the same price, it made the exchange consistent and simple. Its easier for a sober volunteer to select the correct size glass for a beer rather than having a drunk festival goer do simple math with his tickets/coins.

 

[jdd419]

Since they value the group A, I doubt this happens. Of course the butt hurt will be worth the lulz.

Still trying to lock down bottles to bring. Want to stick with 4-5 bottles because of the taps. For sure bringing Oak Theory and Advanced Oak Theory and probably an 09 Perfect Storm. After that it's up in the air. Possibly Saison Bernice, Saison du Blé, Oxbox Goods From the Woods, HotD Adam FTW or Matt, Etc.

 

[lb304854]

The lines for taps will be thousands deep all day.

1 vote for the HOTD beers.

Done.

That is one worry of mine as there really hasn't been lines for taps outside of the limited FFF in the past. Might just say "**** it" and bring like 10 bottles in case tap lines are a complete disaster.
