I can see how they're trending towards that territory. Did not know the one ticket per person policy for DLD. I love most of their products, but they've really priced me out. I see their bombers for $12.99, then you have bombers like this for $5 right beneath them. Damn good beer.

For as much as I love their beer, these guys are being major douchenozzles lately. Between their rude treatment of customers at the Brew Pub and all their snobbery and now with the kind of dickish attitude for Darklord Day, myself and many friends are getting really turned off by them. This is not a boycott threat by any means, but I wish they'd be a little more customer friendly. I'm not asking them to kiss ass or anything, but quit it with the "mightier than though/our beer is the only beer worthy of drinking" attitude. There are plenty of breweries popping up all over, so don't think that people won't eventually get turned off by your douchebaggery and complete lack of customer service and ridiculous prices for some of the beers.

On that note, I was happy to get a ticket to Darklord Day, but really bummed that they limited it to one ticket per person......really? I mean...really? You don't take into consideration that many people are there to get a ticket for their spouse or really good friend who had to be at work? I'm sure it's because they're pissed that some greedy bitches buy a ticket just to sell on e-bay, but c'mon! You guys are making money hand over fist. This might be the last time I purchase a ticket to the event as well....not really worth it when I look at all factors.

For as long as there are ironic mustaches, Chicago flag tattoos and heavy metal music there will always be people willing to gobble the knob that is 3 Floyds, they've replaced the bougie pretension of the wine community with their own little northwest Indiana fiefdom.

I've thought these guys were douches for years.....and always overpriced. The beer is good but there are a ton of places that make really good beer, are cool and don't gouge the fuck out of the prices.

Don't lump metal music into this douchebaggery...

hrist Sakes.

If these places really cared about the experience, they would pony up the money to an event coordinator and have them run things instead of trying to plan it all out themselves. It never works right, there are always issues...

Way, way too many good to great beers out there for any 1 brewery to pull the "holier than thou" shit.

What is Darklord day?

What is 3 floyds?

Why should I care?

Three Floyd's is a popular brewery in Munster IN. They make GumballHead and Zombie Dust beers - very popular amongst us beer nerds. They started small and made some really unique beers right when the craft brew scene started taking off. They grew quickly and are always running into supply issues (can't even find those two beers mentioned in my area).

Darklord is their Russian Imperial Stout beer and it is only released one day of the year on Darklord Day. Because it has grown in popularity they had to start limiting how many people could come and how many bottles people could buy. People are willingly showing up to be price gouged. But they have created a brand people are willing to pay money for. ALOT of money.

If you don't like that style of beer, you shouldn't care.

That type of thing has become a modern business model. "We are in business for our own convenience, not for the customer. We just do what we love, if people like it, great. If not, fuck you!" See: Hot Doug's and Kuma's Corner.

I thought Dark Lord Day was a Star Wars thing.

I'm fatigued of these humble foods being exhaulted by the stupid to the point that it is considered a social status just to be given the opportunity to consume the product. Fuck that. dolphin don't wait in lines beer, pizza, donuts, hamburgers, etc. I am comfortable with missing the "experience".

If people continue to show up, why should it matter?
