[icehog3]

I'll be there. When are the golden tickets available?

They usually spring that on short notice...I am sure it will get posted as doon as someone hears, Nate.

[GTS21]

[ChicagoWhiteSox]

Hopefully grilling will be allowed.

[Gonesledn]

Hopefully grilling will be allowed.

I soooooo want to go to this. May need to check flight plans, Awsmith, what say you, possible ?

[Sauer Grapes]

If I can get some tickets, I'm totally there. The weekend looks like it will work perfectly for me.

[Gonesledn]

tickets are not totaly neccacary, they allow you to purchase the darklord beer. can allways hang out and party without the tickets.

[Gonesledn]

it means you are not great.... just plain ole' awesome!

[Sauer Grapes]

I may do just that... but I REALLY want to buy the beer. How many bottle did each person get last year? I love to give one as a gift and still have enough for myself.

[Gonesledn]

i believe it was 4 bottles per ticket. they did have some of the previous years that they sold as well twords the end of the day.

[icehog3]

Yup....maximum two Golden tickets per person, each good for 4 beers last year, although they can change the rules this year at their discretion. $15 a bottle, plus $10 for the ticket, meant $140 for 8 22 oz. bottles.

Can't wait! Went last year. It was nuts. Of course halfway through they changed it from 4 to 3 bottles per ticket - bs. Tickets have gone on sale St Patricks Day past 2 years at least, March 17th. I should have a boatload of awesome homebrew this year. Having 12+ beers on tap for a St Patricks Day party :D

Then I remembered that this was posted in the beer section and there happens to be a beer called... yeah.

I was gonna explain myself as to why I posted what I did, but I figured I should leave well enough alone.

The Dark Lord is an Imperial stout is it not?
I've obviously never tried this brew (read a few comments above).
I can't decide if I love this style or not. I thought Samuel Smiths Imperial was mighty delicious though.

Is old rasputin considered an Imperial, because I did not enjoy that one at all

[icehog3]

Russian Imperial Stout.

Yes old Rasputin is an Imperial stout, it's very mediocre. I like Stone's russian or DFH WWS. Avery's Czar isn't bad for the price. Also Ten-Fidy is quite tasty for a reasonable price.

[IBQTEE1]

Am I wrong?

No, but kinda funny (to me anyway)

Here are Tom's tickets and money from last year.

If you are not a stout drinker then this beer might not be for you. It is a sipping beer but the flavors are so complex that you don't want slam it. It is best if you share with some of your close friends.

I have tried the Ten Fidy and I have to say it is pretty good.

[awsmith4]

I am jealous I can't make DLD but maybe I will be able to make the Cigar City Hunapu release and be able to find someone to trade with.

[St. Lou Stu]

Where to begin?
See what you missed last year Tom?
Great beer, chics mud wrestling and tossing each other into the pond, Kristin's Crazy Legs, Herfin, More good beer, the pond...
What fond mamories. :D

I already have the trip planned. I gotta get brewing to bring some stuff of my own too!

I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Tickets went on fire sale St. Patty's day in years past. I'm clearing my schedule for St. Patty's day eve. Last year I ended up with 11 bottles, so Albert, Peter... you'll be taken care of if you so desire. Hell, even if you get tickets... someone will stand in line for ya while drinking beer and smoking cigars. It's a tough gig, but just for you fellers...:tu

Remember me, your wife? I WILL be going this year.

[McSmokey]

I would love to be able to make this but I'm afraid to even buy tickets as the work load my department is under right now leaves no guarantee of off time(even on weekends) through May. :(

[IBQTEE1]

Looking forward to meeting you!! :tu

They serve food at the brewpub but you have to wait in line to get in. Last year most of my day was spent waiting inline to get in to try vanilla bean dark lord. There was also were a couple of tents set up selling food.

Wish there was similar interest in Cigar City's Hunahpu release day, be great to have a group of CA'ers going with me. But I guess if I can find two hot chicks to wrestle in the water and take a picture, maybe next year there will be similar interest to what you guys have. :r

5.We will announce the sales details of the tickets on Twitter followed by posts on the Darklord day web site as well as the Rate Beer and Beer Advocate web sites.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


6.The biggest change for this year is that a ticket will be required to attend the event. This ticket will also guarantee bottle allocation. Regrettably, changes have to be made to ensure the longevity of the event, safety and shorter lines. Without the ticket, there will be no admission to the premises. More information on ticket sales will be made available in the coming weeks.
7.We are currently working on a time schedule for Darklord bottle sales. More info will be posted in the coming weeks.
8.Ticket limits are being worked out and will be announced soon.
9.The bottle limit will be announced as soon as we determine this year’s yield. We limit the amount a guest can buy so more people will be able to enjoy and share the beer.
10.A portion of the proceeds from ticket sales will benefit several local charities.
11.We are putting the lineup together. We’re excited about the bands we have committed and will release more info soon.
12.The brewery will provide some parking, but we are in a business park that isn’t set up for this kind of crowd. Carpool if you can and please respect our neighbors property.
13.The brewery is located at 9750 Indiana Pkwy, Munster, In. 46321
14.THIS EVENT IS CASH ONLY. ATMs will be provided for those that don’t want to travel with cash.
15.There may be some buses being organized by local bars, but none by Three Floyds.
16.We allow people to bring limited amounts of beer for trading and sampling with other beer lovers. The idea is to celebrate craft beer not have a raging kegger. Please no kegs and be respectful of the event.
17.There are several hotels in the area. The closest is The Hampton Inn of Munster.
18.There is no space for camping. Again, we are in a business park.

i will have the 14x14 ez-up set set up again this year again, and the weber grill brought with... anyone is welcome to use.

last year i got out there at 6:30 am and had street parking right in front of the event, and will do the same this year.

looking foward to this !!!

Is there anything I can bring that we were missing last year?

Like 6-7 AM... no?

[Jbailey]

I'm spending the night before in town so I don't have to drive 3-3.5 hrs the day of the event. I plan on getting there around 6am too. When the tickets go on sale I plan on getting a room. If anyone else is planning on doing the same thing maybe we could stay at the same place. Maybe hangout and have a small sampling of beer.

I plan on bringing beer and water. If there is anything else needed for the group let me know.


I think they will have a different company doing their online ticket sales or at least last years company will be more prepared for a flood of people trying to buy tickets.

The only reason I have a Twitter account is to follow my local beer stores' releases. I tried to get into it but I do enough pontificating on forums and Facebook so I see little reason to further enlighten this world with my thoughts. I did recently join Untappd and have linked my Twitter account, so maybe I am more of a Twit than I thought :hm

"When purchasing tickets there will be three time options for bottle sales. (morning, afternoon and late afternoon)
ABC groups"

This seems odd and along with the "no loitering policy". I wonder if you can stick around drink, eat, smoke and just shot the sh!t with friends. Hopefully it's not grab your beer and go.

[ChicagoWhiteSox]

Looks like you only need to buy one ticket, as the tickets don't determine how many bottles you get. I wonder what the max bottles per person will be?

[Jbailey]

So one ticket will get you X bottles. So you can have another ticket and get back in line for another X bottles?

Not sure why they could do the same as last year.

[ChicagoWhiteSox]

You can buy two tickets per person, but remember tickets are admission tickets as well, and allocation is per person not number of tickets.


So what's the point in buying 2 tickets? My guess would be to buy one for a friend?

[Jbailey]

Last year they punched each ticket when used. So get in line grab your x bottles with the first ticket and get back in line with the second.

Perhaps they would give everyone a wrist band when they came in and when you get your dark lord they take it off you. No wrist band= No Dark Lord, no exceptions. One method I guess that they could use to limit people.

Either way I'm going to try and get 2 tickets worth of Dark Lord :D

Can't wait! Hoping the beer I just brewed can compete with DL next year after it has time to age :) . If it ferments well it should be about 16% abv. I can't wait for that either.

Yes you have to pick the group you want. A, 10am to 12noon. B, 1pm to 3pm. Or C, 5pm to 7pm.

Those are the times to be in line. They are hoping this will cut down on the wait time.

no tickets for me:td

[MrsSledn]

At this moment there are not enough tickets available to fulfill your request. Please try again using a lower quantity of tickets or choosing a different ticket type.
Currently there are not enough Group A: 10am-12pm tickets to fulfill your request.

[ODLS1]

Wow. Sold out in 10 minutes. Let's see. 2 years ago sold out in 1 day. Last year sold out in 1 hour. This year sold out in 10 minutes.

[MrsSledn]

I wish! I am still trying and I get the nothing available. And we have a darn good connection too.

[ChicagoWhiteSox]

Your ticket is your admission to the grounds. Beer allocations will be on a per person basis. Holding two tickets in your hand will not give you two allotments of Dark Lord. .

I would assume there will be extra tickets floating around. I think some people were buying 2 tickets for themselves, when only one was needed. I bought 2 for myself and my friend that I'm going with. If he actually got 2 tickets too, then I'll give them away to whoever needs them.

[MrsSledn]

I stayed on trying from the desktop for over a hour. The laptop is stuck and still in that loading phase. So I am leaving it alone in the hopes it may come through.

[Jbailey]

That was just silly. I was on as soon as they tickets went on sale and was told they were already sold out. I kept trying and kept getting denied.

Had a great friend help me out. :tu

[MrsSledn]

Tickets sold out in 4 minutes. Crazy!

[ChicagoWhiteSox]

Wow, stub hub has tickets as much as $300, scalpers :td

[icehog3]

I was playing hockey, thanks to Kristin for hooking me up! :D

[ODLS1]

Yea I got 2 knowing I could only use one, but also knowing someone cool would need one. Ended up going to a buddy that just missed out on the tickets. See you all there. Hope it's as fun as last year. Definitely going to try to meet up with some people on here this year. Last year I just stuck around drinking with people I knew and wandering off. ADD and mass quantities of people and beer... Hopefully I can bring some good beers myself, commercial and homebrew.

We need to make a DLD meet list, who's going and whatnot. I may have to break out one of my nicer cigars for this occasion. I don't have much of a collection, but considering my Opux X and Fuente Anejo.

[sobranie10]

Just luck of the draw and I was on a DS3 came up empty tickets were gone.:sl

[ChicagoWhiteSox]

Anyone else get tickets? My buddy had 2 B tickets and was in the check out cart when he actually got kicked out of it. This was at 1:03. :sh

[St. Lou Stu]

I got my two.
Stoked and pissed at the same time.
Effin scalpers.

If anyone has an extra, please let me know. My wife was going to buy me one but her aunt was rushed to the hospital and when she got home they were obviously gone. Also, I am on the other side of the world and didn't have net access when they went on sale.

I'm still planning on attending without a ticket. It'll be fun to just hang out with you guys.

I still don't get if you can hang out though on the surrounding streets. That doesn't seem to be clear. I get that you can't get on the grounds without a ticket. Hopefully more to come.

BTW I used Firefox to get my tickets. I am wondering if people that used IE had more problems.

I used IE, but other than it being slow, I still got tickets.

[MrsSledn]

From what I read in that article, if you hang out on the neighboring streets, you are going to be told or escorted away. They do not want "public" drunkness on the streets.

This stinks. I so wanted to go.

Welcome to the the Asylum, Chris. Please go to the New Inmate Forum and introduce yourself. Dark Lord tickets are pretty prized around here, you would likely have a lot better shot if people knew you as part of our cigar community.

I also edited your post to be in line with Cigar Asylum's policy on alcohol. Please familiarize yourself with our rules regarding this.

[GTS21]

Can't get this song out of my head...

I never thought my life could be
Anything but catastrophe
But suddenly I begin to see
A bit of good luck for me

'Cause I've got a golden ticket
I've got a golden twinkle in my eye

I never had a chance to shine
Never a happy song to sing
But suddenly half the world is mine
What an amazing thing

'Cause I've got a golden ticket

I've got a golden sun up in the sky

I never thought I'd see the day
When I would face the world and say
Good morning, look at the sun
I never thought that I would be
Slap in the lap of luxury
'Cause I'd have said:

It couldn't be done

But it can be done

I never dreamed that I would climb
Over the moon in ecstasy
But nevertheless, it's there that I'm
Shortly about to be

'Cause I've got a golden ticket
I've got a golden chance to make my way
And with a golden ticket, it's a golden day

[ODLS1]

Yea I looked all over couldn't find an envelope that looks like last years. I finally started opening all my junk mail frantically. Looks like junk mail, inside is DLD tickets, and yes, they are so generic. At least I found them, I was worried.

Damn dude! Can you say herf at your house!:banger

This can be arranged.. I also have a 6-tap keggerator. About to keg up an Imperial Smoked Porter (10% abv). Also, the beer is officially at 16% abv. Went from 1.150 to 1.030 SG. Seriously though for some of you Georgian's, my mom has a place in Dahlonega as a second house (she moved there then got married and is living in KY with stepdad). I could make one happen in either, or both, places. Beer, Bourbon, and Cigars. Can't beat it.

Also, for my 100th batch (next is my 84th) I will be completely insane and scaling that 16% abv beer up. Shooting for 25% abv.... I'm serious. The grain bill will yield a little over 20% abv (70lbs of grain, 40% efficiency, at 1.05 qt/lb, 1st running no sparge), assuming fermentation goes well (A LOT involved in getting that right, like injecting pure O2), then I will be adding Kentucky Sorghum Syrup and Sucrose to push the yeast to it's absolute limit. We'll see how that goes... :D

Hunahpu day was a month ago, sadly missed that too...

That was an awesome release! Def marking it down as a "must-go" annually.

Should be at DLD around noon...prob not bringing any cigars, as I don't really like to mix cigars and beer. We have a pretty huge crew heading there...lots of tasty rarities. :D I'll try to look you guys up.
