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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
