    "Hear ye! Hear ye!

    On Tuesday, December 23, we will celebrate the end of RareR DOS as we know and love it.

    Due to circumstances beyond our control (one crazy distillery owner), we are no longer able to get the most excellent rum barrels to which we have become accustomed. These were truly special rum barrels, single use like bourbon and made using table grade molasses. We can get more rum barrels but they will never have the oak and vanillin character of these single use gems and we emptied the last of our stock this year. To say farewell we are tapping RareR DOS and a selection of our favorite variants on Tuesday at NOON.

    This is not a bottle release, more like a tap takeover for RareR DOS and Co. Lining up and blocking adjacent businesses and anything else that might bother the neighbors is frowned upon and we will be running a number system like we did a few months ago.

    The number system in 3 easy steps:

    1 - Show up as early as 8 a.m.
    2 - Get a number.
    3 - Don't come back until 11:45 a.m.

    Be nice to the neighbors, be nice to each other, there is plenty of beer.

    Parking: The bank and the museum are both open and will either ask you to move, or call some guy with a tow truck to help you move. The street is metered, it's the holidays but the meter readers are still grinches.

    We expect that almost everybody knows the drill by now and if you are a seasoned Cycle event attendee we appreciate your help with folks who may not know what is going on.

    Happy Holidays!

    xoxoxoxoxoxo,

    Cycle Brewing"

    8AM or later, please respect Doug's wishes about not pissing off the neighbors.

    What a great event ran by cycle and Doug! Got to try it on tap last night at a bar in Tampa and have multiple variants today. Not to mention getting bottles was as easy as can be. Gonna be hard to pry away the couple bottles I got today. This beer is my favorite rum beer to date and adding hazelnuts just made it sublime!

    We got there around 10:00am and we had plenty of time. It was really awesome, it was more than likely I met you guys, too. I had the beagle and the Brazilian girl! My favorite of the variants was: And Plus!(Cinnamon, Vanilla, Coconut, Chili) and RareR DOS was my main squeeze. Cycle Brewing is really something special. That location isn't going to work though for much longer. Glad it all worked out for us. Wanna thank @basto again for turning me on to them.

    Anyone know if there's anything leftover? If so, will it make it to the weekend??

    Last night they said they expected most of the taps to last a few days.

    Thanks to the guys who shared every variant with me. My first beer release and couldn't have gone smoother.

    Was able to hit up Cycle around 5:30pm yesterday and they still had all the BA stouts on tap.

    Had the And Plus and the hazelnut (nooner8) and all I can say is wow. What a solid pair of beers! The And Plus was my favorite. I enjoyed the Hazelnut but am glad I won't need to seek it out via trade now.

    Wish I had time to try them all.

    I have a feeling if anyone tried all six (?) varietals it would be time for a hotel room. By the way tastic beer though!
