Hunahpu's Day 2018

I'm flying solo also and would love to team up and tackle at least the first hour

 

Will do.

I'm an easy sell.

I really wasn't sure how the balance was with the big releases and the remaining good stuff. But if having the luggage capacity is worthwhile, well, I have plenty of space in my fridge, too.

 

FYI- There is a daily HARD cutoff time to pickup Huna bottles. If this info was posted somewhere I apologize. I walked in at 7:30ish. I first needed to replace my El Cat card, which took a bit but I was able to get it replaced. I then asked, "El Cat bottles here, and Huna in the Fermentorium?" His response was " yeah but I would just grab them on your way out after having a beer".

So I followed that plan, had a pour of 2016 Huna and the new El Cat bottle. On may way out I grab my el cat bottle, then make my way to pick up my Huna bottles. There a second gentleman told me, "nope sorry we stop at 8:00". At the time is was 8:15, and he simply refused to help me. Pissed me off because if I would have known there was a cutoff I would never had waited because again I was there at 7:30. Rant over and again I apologize if the 8:00 PM cutoff date was clearly shared.

 

Hey guys, this will be my 3rd straight hunahpu day, super stoked. Any good suggestions for under the radar beers that won't have crazy lines? There were some killer suggestions in this thread last year that I drank my fair share of. Cheers

 

so, one thing about entry, they said they are checking ID's at 10:00, but did not really mention lineup time as it was at the park. Any thoughts?

 

You can probably line up whenever and I’m sure Ccb will avoid this answer because they never get it right. There will be some people down there early. Last year the line started around 8am but was pretty light until 9:30 or so. I’m not sure how the security will work, if they start that at 10am too. I’d not then it will matter where you are in line. The past 2 years it was open flood gates to get in, so there was minimal difference(maybe 1 beers worth) between getting there super early and getting there close to opening. New venue this year, so no one knows for sure. But given it’s not a neighborhood and there is plenty of room, I’d say you can lineup whenever. Not sure when the line will start.

 

Thanks, that was kind of what i was thinking. and yeah, i have attended the last 5 years of Huna, believe me i know the history! just wanted another opinion.

 

Get there at 10 probably or a bit earlier and you’ll get whatever you want when you walk in.

 

The app updated to include another vip option and j wakefield's list

 

What's the new VIP option?

 

I should have been more specific. I meant another to the VIP tap list.

Hunahpu's Cubano Espresso Barrel-Aged Cuvée 2018

 

I have to say I'm a little let down by what J Wakefield is bringing https://guidebook.com/guide/120210/poi/9449223/?pcat=588183

Was hoping for at least one big name Oh well, I'm still excited to try my first beers from them and enjoy everything!

 

...yeah, I think you should skip this booth all together at Huna day

 

I wouldn't be surprised if they bring a lot more. Last year they only had a few beers listed on the app, but ended up bringing maybe 8-10 types, including some out of bottles. I got to try Desperado and Bake Kujira.

 

If you like saisons, check out Free Will. They'll be pouring Saison in the Key of Life which is really good.

 

So we got some bad news today about Cycle, but lets get on track and pull the nose up. What is everyone looking forward to on Saturday?

 

I heard people are already sleeping in the Raymond James parking lot so they can be first in line for BAIGCCS.

 

I'm sleeping outside already, but it's so I can be first in line for Hell or High Watermelon

 

It will be on tap Thursday night at AC.

 

Only if you were one of the lucky 150 to get tickets to the Rad Rare Beer Fest.
