Cigar City availability in Miami

Hunahpu is a brewery only release in March. I tried finding CCB in Miami last time I was there with no luck, I'm not sure if they distribute down there.

 

They get Zhukov, Jai Alai, White Oak, Cedar, 110K, Cucumber, Guava Grove, Good Gourd, etc... Zhukov and Cucumber are probably sold-out by now, but the others might be available.

 

This stuff goes fast here. Zhukov has been out since just about the day it was released. Most of this stuff is not available right now. I did see some 100K + OT at Whole Foods in Coral Gables. Sunset Corner Liquors on Sunset Drive and 87th ave should have Guava Grove there still.

If you haven't had it, try Tocobaga. It's one of their best beers and should be easy to find at Total Wine or Sunset Corner.

 

We get quite a few CCB 750s here, just have to know where to look. Zhukov is gone, but in the past few days I have seen at least 8 different beers including Good Gourd and Cucumber Saison. The best places to look are Sunset Corners, El Carajo, Stop n Shop (2 locations along US-1), and even Total Wine, but they tend to sell out fast there.

Edit: agree with Whole Foods mentioned above, and also Milams supermarket.

 

I don't recommend Stop n Shop to anyone because of the ridiculous prices. But if you're looking for certain stuff, sure it's a good place to go to. They still had 6 month old Hopslam sitting on the shelves last time I walked in there, because no one wants to pay close to $30 for a six pack.

 

I agree that the prices there are absurd, but sometimes they are the only place to get certain beers, and their import selection is excellent. For every 5 visits there, I probably only buy something once. But it's always worth a visit to see what they have. I heard they had Hunahpu on the shelf (albeit illegally) for $50 after the release.

 

Where in Miami are you going to be? It's a pretty big place.

 

Make sure to go to the Stop N Shop on Ponce next to the UM campus because their selection is way better than the one on Le Jeune. Yes, their prices are quite high but the only place in the area you can expect to get good deals on rare(er) beers is Total Wine and the two locations in the Miami area are a far drive if you're close to downtown.

 

In addition to all of the above, you can also hit bars like Cervezas and Abraxas. I wouldn't even be terribly surprised if they still have Zhukov, albeit at typical bar markup of course.

 

J.J. Taylor has CC distribution rights in part of Florida, check there website to find where you can get it. You can go into a Sweetbay Supermarket and request that they bring in the varities that are not on the shelf.

 

Check the website for total wine, you can order online and have it ready to be picked up when you get there.

 

FYI...you can find Zhukov in NYC...my coworker picked me up a bottle in Queens last week

 

i've got two hunhapus, 2011 and 2012 releases. I had a bunch but sold/drank them. Finding one for $50 retail is actually quite impressive.
Best places for CC beers in miami....total wine, sunset corners, mega liquours (bird and 86th ave).

 

Total Wine in Fort Lauderdale always seems to have some nice CCB selections when I go down there. Got a bunch of Good Gourd when I was visiting this past December.
