    I'll be in the Brandon/Valrico area June 17-26. Going to hit up the usuals - Kingdom, Winthrop, CCB, Total Wine, Whole Foods, and Leuken's in Dunedin.

    Looking for any shops that have older CCB bottles or anything else good. If you know of any or have any bottles, let me know or PM me and maybe we can do an IP trade. I don't have a bunch of rare stuff right now but I can go to the Atlanta shops before I head down. ISO: BA Hunahpu's and Gates of Hell (yeah right - but anything older or not at the brewery would be nice)

    Any other breweries I should get bottle-wise? I'm aware of seekabrew but it's not updated - has their been any other new breweries recently? I've already had most of Ballast Point and Bear Republic.

    Usually I don't get stuff on draft or do growlers, but I'm willing to this time. Probably will do growler Tuesdays at CCB. Where else should I go? Is 7venth Sun good? Dunedin Brewery? Best beers from them?

    Will be going to Swamphead on the way back. What are their best beers?

    Thanks

    I hear Upright Brewing just got to FL. What are their best beers? I'm not a huge saison fan unless they're different like Anchorage Love Buzz or Jester King El Cedro.

    New Albanian beers showed up in the last couple months. Only one I can think of off the top of my head. Decent stuff, haven't been blown away by any of their offerings I've had so far though. FWIW.

    Beer World of Largo is a place to get some older bottles, but they are a little high in price. But you will find some things that no one else has. They had Cubano espresso 4 packs last week still.

    CCB has Cubano espresso 4 packs at the brewery in the fridge. Saw it today picking up growlers.
    Total wine next door has Cucumber saison cheaper than CCB has it, and also has Bolita Double Nut Brown.

    7venth Sun is fantastic...highly recommend. If you're into DIPA, Mangrove is fantastic. Really, everything they do is though.

    Also, I have a Gates of Hell for you if you need it still.

    We also have Six Point in the last couple weeks and they make some really nice brews (they sell them at the TW by CCB). Have some Winter Warmer and Dos Coestes if you are interested.

    I can't believe they'd be good right now. I saw some, as well as old Humidor IPA bombers a few weeks back.
