If you miss your group time, you can pick up your bottles in a later group. Deluxe ticket holders may pick up their bottles in any group. PICKUPS WILL CLOSE PROMPTLY AT 5PM.
Dark Lord bottle pickup will take place inside the brewery. Security will check your group assignment, and scan and mark your wristband to indicate receipt of your bottles.
