Not sure I have "extra" Hunahpu either, but I do have enough to trade one or two for one or two Dark Lords :tu Especially since they lowered the bottle allocation from three to two per person last minute (I got a couple extra though).

And serious question, to anyone, what is the Dark Lord bottle allocation? How many bottles do you get for your ticket?

Re: Dark Lord 2012
 

4 if its the same as last year.

Re: Dark Lord 2012
 

Hootie is a better person then I. LOL I am too drunk by then to go back. Just kidding.

Re: Dark Lord 2012
 

So, what is Dark Lord? Is it a beer or something? What's the fuss about?

Re: Dark Lord 2012
 

No. It's angel food cake. No fuss intended.

Re: Dark Lord 2012
 

Well I can't really tell, there's talk of tickets and what not... And pictures of kegs... But they only thing that makes me wonder is, why would someone buy tickets to drink beer?

Re: Dark Lord 2012
 

One, it's great beer. Two, it's an excuse to hang out with friends, smoke cigars, and share rare beer from across the country with strangers.

Sign me up.

Re: Dark Lord 2012
 

I dunno, we got a bar in town that does all that, no tickets required.

I'm just curious why people are paying 200 dollars a ticket to get into this event? What's the perk?

Re: Dark Lord 2012
 

The tickets are only $15 (max of two) when they go on sale. The tickets last a few minutes before they sell out. The only reason they are $200 is because of scumbags.

Re: Dark Lord 2012
 

I would pay $200 if the Stones were playing there.

Re: Dark Lord 2012
 

Seems kinda weird... You would think that if its that popular it sells out in minutes that they could raise the price, get a larger place to hold the event, and then have more people thru the door as well.

Re: Dark Lord 2012
 

I will be doing Sunday lunch back at the brew pub before hitting the road.

Re: Dark Lord 2012
 

The whole point is to have it at the brewery. Plus, they can only make so much of the beer.

Re: Dark Lord 2012
 

They get nothing from the ticket sales, it all goes to charity. They are in the middle of an add on right now (not huge). The event is pretty fun and something I look forward in April. In the past there wasn't tickets, just show up hangout and get your beer. It got so big that they started selling tickets. In 2010 you didn't need a ticket to attend. The ticket just meant you were for sure getting your beer. After the ticket sales anyone could get in line and grab some (within a limit). 2011 was the first year you needed a ticket to attend at all. No ticket no way in. The city started cracking down more which why they are only letting ticket holders in. The brewery sits in the middle of an industrial park.

They only brew X amount of Dark Lord and you can only buy it that day. Last year they did variation bottles of Dark Lord which was pretty cool. Nothing beats sitting in the brew pub drinking Cask Dark Lord and Vanilla Bean Dark Lord.

Re: Dark Lord 2012
 

That stuff could taste like Candice Swanepoel in a bottle and there'd be no way in Hell I'd stand in a line like that just to get a ticket for an opportunity to purchase one.:r

Re: Dark Lord 2012
 

Not all of it Hootie.

The only way to ensure that you’ll get some Darklord is to purchase a ticket online. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of these tickets go to a local charity.

But if you never have had the beer don't knock it. This will be my 4th year. I would not miss it for the world. Great beer and greater friends.

Re: Dark Lord 2012
 

I can't believe the prices online post sale. Just stupid.

Thanks QTEE.

Re: Dark Lord 2012
 

I agree people are such douches.

You are very welcome my little Dark Lord Buddy!!

Re: Dark Lord 2012
 

I wish we could attend this once. Seems like a fun event, and that beer would really be right up our alley.

Re: Dark Lord 2012
 

It is a great event and the beer is amazing.

Re: Dark Lord 2012
 

HAdn't looked up where it is until now...just outside Chicago. My wife wants to go to Chicago some time in the relatively near future and we've got some friends there...it's a very slim chance that we could go this year, but you never know.

Re: Dark Lord 2012
 

In order to attend the event you have to have a ticket. But you could go on Sunday they should have Dark Lord on tap. Hoots would know.

Re: Dark Lord 2012
 

Went last year when they opened and had some dark lord on tap. I'm going again Sunday morning this year again.

Re: Dark Lord 2012
 

:hm What time do they open?

Re: Dark Lord 2012
 

Pretty sure noon. I will get there a little early and get in line.

Re: Dark Lord 2012
 

You are a trooper.

Re: Dark Lord 2012
 

DLD is once a year. Gotta live it up!

Re: Dark Lord 2012
 

If anyone can pick me up 2 I will make it worth it to you in both beer, cigars and cash if needed. PM me for more info. Thanks in advance.

Re: Dark Lord 2012
 

Got my tickets in the mail yesterday. Woot Woot

Re: Dark Lord 2012
 

Getting excited about this. Only 4 more days. :banger

Re: Dark Lord 2012
 

Success! Another Dark Lord Day has come and gone.

Will post pictures later today.

Re: Dark Lord 2012
 

I still can't believe we all got a golden ticket that was amazing. It was great to see Hootie, Tim and Wes again. It was nice to finally meet Cathy. Again why do we does this?? LOL

Thanks for the pics Hootie.

Re: Dark Lord 2012
 

Hoots, Stu and Qtee all in one place, plus good beer...I don't think I could imagine a better recipe for a good time. Thanks for the pics Dave!

Re: Dark Lord 2012
 

Bummer about what looks like less-than-frolicking weather....so much anticipation, then to be in a long line
in a plastic bag under an umbrella when all you want is a beer....tough. At least it looks like there was a
grass fire.

Re: Dark Lord 2012
 

Complete opposite Brad.

It was a killer time. Got to meet some great people and share some amazing beers.

Re: Dark Lord 2012
 

In the rain.


LOL...sorry....looked like some of the photos did not show rain.

Re: Dark Lord 2012
 

There was rain but it lasted for 30mintues or so in the early morning. It stopped and never came back.

Still the wasn't any girls wrestling in the pond. :D

Re: Dark Lord 2012
 

Maybe next year Hootie!! :noon

Is anyone else blushing?? :tu
