    Had this with my meal tonight at Zahav. A little  juicy for me but paired  well with the meal....

    Dark Lord Day tomorrow at Three Floyd’s!! 
    Good luck!
    We’re taking a party bus down and will have a day full of delicious beer. Looking forward! 

    Have fun!  I've always wanted to go but can't justify that ticket price.  $180 for 5 bottles and only 1 of them is barrel aged is way too much for me.  And then you still have to pay for beers from the other breweries that they have there....that's an expensive ass day.  A lot of other good beer fests out there for a much more reasonable price.
    Yeah it’s definitely not the best value, but will be worth it for the experience with a good group of friends going. I’m going to Oath Days at Solemn Oath Brewery in Naperville on June 1, which should be a good, reasonably priced day.
    So how was it???  Is your hangover gone yet?

    Went up there the following day. No brisket tacos. Big BOO! But they did have a plethora of brews to go and they were selling small pours of the 2019 Dark Lord along with small pours of their 2015 Dark Lord. I felt the 2019 was far smoother (more smooth???) But the 2015 had a nicer taste.

    It was awesome. Definitely a lot of fun and would go back. Lot of rain but that’s ok. Good music, good food, great beer and great times hanging with friends. While the ticket price is high, I’d say it’s worth it when you compare the cost of buying DL secondary (which is never do). I’d recommend going at least once if
     you haven’t been.

    And the hangovers last much longer than they used to!

    Nice!  Yeah I'll definitely get to it at some point.  How was the beer sharing aspect of it?  I know everyone is allowed to bring in a certain amount of beer and share...I'm sure there are all sorts of wild beers out there!

    And yeah these hangovers are brutal these days!  Don't hit it really hard too often anymore but when I do it definitely takes a couple days to get back to normal.

    One needs multiple choices for a 3 day weekend with a good weather forecast ...

    ^ I missed on the Hop Butcher releases. My local spot usually holds it for me but work has been so busy and I forgot to call them. Bummer! And I never see Saint Errant by me. I think their distribution reach is very local. Another bummer!

    Yeah I think I've come to the decision that Maine Beer is my hands down #1 brewery.

    Ever been to Bissell Brothers Brewing? How do they compare? I’m gonna be up there in late June and will probably hit up both breweries. Heard really good things about Bissell Bros.

    The handful of beers I've had from them have all been great.  Lunch is a great beer.  Really want to try Dinner by them but that's just about impossible to find around here being so far away...
