Additional Dark Lord Day 2009 Details And… A Live CD/DVD Recording?
Yes, you read it right – we’re planning a live recording of the event.
With just over 48 hours until the official opening of Dark Lord Day 2009 the energy around here is starting to get out of control. We’re doing our best to get everything just right so that you and all of our other loyal supporters have the best DLD experience possible. It looks like most all of the lost ticket issues have been addressed and we’re getting close to the finish line. There are just a few more things to catch you up on before Saturday:
First, after some careful consideration we’ve decided not to upload a parking map to the website. No matter how we present an overhead view of the brewery and all of our surrounding neighbors it just ends up looking downright confusing. So we’re just going to do our best to provide really good signage on Saturday and you’ll want to keep your eyes peeled for good spots.
Second, we will be releasing the exact bottle limits per ticket early on Saturday. We know many of you are anxious to know these numbers but we’re still hustling to crank out as much Dark Lord as possible and we’re not going to over-promise and under-deliver on the quotas. We’re trying to make sure that everyone with a ticket is able to get a reasonable number of bottles of Dark Lord and that no one is left empty handed.
Third, remember that you do NOT need Golden Tickets to attend the event. These tickets are only for the purchase of Dark Lord bottles. You’ll be able to get Dark Lord by the glass, other 3 Floyd’s beers by the bottle and the glass, as well as all of the fantastic guest beers without tickets. You’ll also have access to good food, incredible live music, and you’ll be able to hang out with some great people that all share a love of craft beer.
And finally… we’re planning on recording both a live CD and a live DVD of the event. We’ve been batting this idea around for a while now and we decided to pull the trigger on this just a few days ago. We’ve already talked to most all of the bands and they’re just as excited about this idea as we are. So now the only question is whether or not you – our supporters, customers, and fans – think that this is something worth doing. We need to hear your feedback and gauge your interest in this new project of ours. Please visit the link below, sign up for our live recording list, and give us your thoughts.

Love the Beer. I don’t know what John E Fresh is talking about.
I haven’t eaten at the brew pub but my friends have told me the food is very good for pub food. No complaints on service from them.
Saying all their beer tastes like Pride and Joy Mild is just ridiculous. It hardly warrants comment. They make a great Pale and IPA which is what I tend to gravitate to. I can’t say I dislike any of their selection though.
I’m generally not a Russian Stout guy but Dark Lord is really complex.. interesting. It’s damn good. My only complaint is that a) It’s so strong it smells like alcohol and it’s not something most people can crack open and finish themselves.. b) because of “a)” it’s a special occasion beer that you share with friends. “b)” ranks as a complaint only because it sits in the fridge staring at you, taunting you.
Dark Lord day festivities were, in part, kind of disillusioning though. They’re located in Hammond Indiana, which isn’t the boonies but it’s pretty close. Everyone was cool and enjoying the scene. Unfortunately, when you go inside and you see that Three Floyd’s has rented space (presumably rented) to someone with a over-the-top borderline-fascist t-shirt booth it soured me to the whole thing. It puts the crowd of average joes-to-bikers into a new light.
I really don’t care if some moron is selling TShirts with pictures of Arabs in cross-hairs and shirts with other violent nativist crap on them.. but, like it or not, 3 Floyd’s put their stamp of approval on that type is crap when they allowed the booth in their brewery.

You have got to be kidding me!
I grew up in the area and made a regular stop after this place opened. Basically, one disappointing experience after another. Honestly I gave up.
The beer was good but nothing compelling. If you tasted a Pride and Joy Mild, you more or less tried them all. They all have the same flavor profile.
Attitude for days among the entire staff. You’d think they were serving Dom Perignon. At 3 Floyds in Munster, there is definitely no substitute for arrogance.
