Hunahpu Day 2016

At one point they merged and separated, leaving about 5 ppl in line for side project.

 

Me and my group of 5 all had a blast. I really don't understand how you can have a bad time at an event like that. We were lined up by the bridge (1/2 mile) and we were in at 11:25. So many good beers, and based on my Untappd I tried over 50 beers. If the success of your day relied on slaying a specific whales,bro and you didn't get it and are now mad...that is your problem to be honest. Everywhere I went I had great beer, how can that be a bad time?! Getting bottles was super easy too.

This was my 5th Hunah Day and I can't wait to go back. As long as CCB has a Hunah Day, I'll try to attend it!

 

Sadly I missed that one. Boo. I think some of the breweries did a poor job of stating what they were pouring. Others did a great job. I may have walked right by Proof.

BA day at Cycle was so beyond awesome. Other than I think they needed 3 beer stations. I got in line, got a Ecto, went immediately to the next line to get BA Ecto and it kicked.

 

Because people are entitled and like to bitch if there is any hiccup at all

 

My biggest surprises were Pulp from Civil Society and Confused in the Morning by Saltwater (both of their beers were great)

 

So sad, and yet so true. Pathetic really.

 

I would have voted for Double Scoop as my favorite beer if I hadn't already cast my vote before I tried it.

 

I agree, double scoop was my favorite as well.

 

And it was at this point that I got two pours of the scribe and a pour of smooth inside of 5 mins.

 

Glad you guys all liked Proof as that is my local Brewery...I brought a couple Crowlers of their Moscow Mule Berliner Weiss and a Bottle of their Bourbon Barrel Aged Glass Emperor to Cycle on Thursday to share and people went crazy for both....it was generally agreed(quietly of course) that Glass Emperor was a better beer than Cycle Thursday

 

Confused in the Morning was fantastic!

 

I've been sending out bottles of BB Glass Emperor as extras in trades and people have been loving it. One guy IP at BA Day actually wanted it as part of a trade. It's a damn good beer, and usually any of their treatments are on point. Loved that they were getting so much love at Huna from the people that found out about them. Every time I went by early in the event to get more Fruit Punch there was always a line of 6-7 people. Alan actually started pouring bottles of BB Glass Emperor towards the end.

 

So happy other folks got to try this. I had this last year at a local beerfest and kept going back for more. I was told that Hawaiian Punch was the inspiration for this bad boy!

 

Planning on stopping by there on my way back home to Pensacola on Sunday. Do they fill anything on tap that day? Also, do they post their lists online anywhere? Their website and social media outlets have given me zero results.

 

One of my best finds at Huna Day was Boneyard..... The Notorious Triple IPA was Funkingfantastic. Looking to get some of there crowlers now.

 

That berliner was on point and definitely in my Top 3 for the day! And "slightly tart Hawaiian Punch" was exactly how I described it to people. I'd drink a thousand gallons of that during the endless Summer's we have here!

 

They do growler/crowler fills any time they are open. They will usually do their treated stuff too unless it is super limited. Unfortunately they are not the best at posting taplists anywhere so it will be a surprise.

 

Usually have about 20 beers on tap...all will be available to Growler/Crowler Fill except for 3 or 4 which only Society Members can get...Glass Emperor Bottles currently are only available to Society Members as well...yeah the one improvement they need to make is to have a webpage like CCB and 7th Sun do where they always have their current draft lists updated and available to see...

 

I honestly haven't had a bad beer from these guys so I know I'll find something to my liking.

 

Glad to hear you guys enjoyed proof. The fruit punch evil kiss was a small batch they have done recently for their own events and I've had it and it is phenomenal, perfect for hot weather & I'm assuming it will be back soon. Also, they have bottles of their barrel aged stout left for society members only, which I am a member of. More than willing to help anyone out with their beers as I love spreading the local love.
