It's just so right.i didn't want it to end.i would've gone back for more, but, if i heard correctly, there were only five minikegs of the stuff so it was unlikely i'd be successful. Oh sweet nectar of the gods.here's to you dusty_chalk.woot!. That's the line for Dark Lord.take the earlier line from the photo of the FFF line & add 30ft.then that would be where the video begins haha.so ya.epic line.Īs i waited in line, i got to talking to michael & vicky.they were a nice hoosier couple who were novice beer drinkers.i explained to them what they were waiting for & convinced them to stay in formation:).but while we were talking something quite odd happened.there was a group of four or five people (couldn't tell who was together) that started saying rather loudly to those of us standing in line that the Dark Lord was crap!.they said it wasn't worth the wait & that, get this, they thought that great divide's yeti was much better:).one of the guys started pouring his Dark Lord onto the ground.he got some very dirty looks & could probably sense that he was making a mistake.he & one of his friends started offering people in line a taste to see what they thought.much to their chagrin, every person who they let taste it LOVED it & was willing to wait in line for it (& did).so i got my first taste of Dark Lord from a hater that may or may not've been from denver.my luck got even better when another from his party said they didn't want to finish theirs haha (they didn't want to subject themselves to that kind of torture).i volunteered to relieve them of their burden.so by the time i got to the tap, i had already had a glass. Yikes.remind me to post uncompressed on vimeo next time.photobucket's a disaster for linking videos.įestival :: dlline.mp4 video by emelius - Photobucket ![]() That's it for now.perhaps i'll have another go at it after Top Gear:).i've shrunken all the pics for the sake of this thread, but if anyone wants the originals (who knows why), just lemme know.i'm having trouble with the videos as, apparently, i wasn't atop my mental game & shot much of the footage upside down:).i'll try to get it resolved/rotated. What was left of my FFF Jinx Proof Pils when I thought to take a pic.damn i really liked this one.i would've been content drinking that all day.they did a fine job keeping the beer cold throughout the festival which was quite an achievement.there were many golf cart trips being made back & forth transporting bags of ice. Not a bad setup.they switched it to Dark Lord only a little before five o'clock. They had a second cooler that had Robert the Bruce.unfortunately, they had also already run out of the Cow. The helpful staff from FFF & IMF.nice banner. ![]() The line for the FFF tent.bunch of newbies thinking they were going to be getting Dark Lord early. The first area was mainly non-Indiana brewers.then there's a food area, then there's the area with mainly Indiana brewers.i stopped off at the Hopapalooza tent which was a mixture of regions on my way to the FFF tent.i had the Arctic Panzer Tank in that pic.they had already ran out of Apocalypse Cow.i wasn't surprised as it is an excellent beer.the lactose sugars don't give it much complexity, but it do keep it from feeling like you're drinking hopped up water.i think it's the mouthfeel that makes that one special. Not again!.they obviously heard that i was attending. You get slightly larger glass (+1oz) of a different design if you pay an extra $15.that also allows you to get in one hour early.i had to work earlier in the day so i opted not to go that route. Here's where one of the lines began.the line went back a few more blocks from there then wrapped around maybe half the complex.keep that in mind when you see the shots inside the park.the heat was 90+ degrees so it was not a pleasant wait.Īfter you conquer the line, you hafta go through the checkpoint to get your commemorative glass & beer map.
