    It's Florida so you never know, but it's a nice time of year. Was beautiful out last year.

    The way they are doing it works... finally. So while you all have good ideas, why fix something that isn't broken.

    Being at the last 5 huna days, I'd say this last one worked. And worked well.

    If you want to go to huna day, you're going to have to suck it up and buy bottles. It's a huge money maker for them, there would be no reason for them to change it.

    There is more access to Huna so the trade value is down and the quality of the beer is down as well so no one wants a case of it. Last year I had a two 8 bottle tickets. I sold 4 bottles to someone that could not go. I drank one or two of the rest. The others I'm throwing in as an extra to people. I live in Tampa Bay and go to Huna Day with several friends so we all have a mountain of Huna and no one ever wants to drink it any longer so it's just sitting around our houses.

    That's some serious 1st world problems there!

    You guys are crazy. Wasn't the best vintage but it's still plenty good for me to drink on a Tuesday.

    I've cut out a lot of weekday drinking and even when I do I don't want a bomber or 750 of a stout. My wife isn't going to help me down it so I'm stuck to drinking them with friends when we get together.

    Oh I'm with you there on 750's of big beers. I much prefer the 12 oz or 16 oz format just for that reason.

    Here's to hoping the Oscar Blues influence puts Huna in cans for 2018!

    I know nobody that wants 12 Bottles of Hunahpu...the best thing about the 12 bottle ticket is that it has let me get 4 Bottles without having to endure the Festival this year as I bought a 1/3 of a ticket and am gladly letting someone else go the Festival and deal with that madness...does not hurt either that the initial Brewery Attendees List looks like a Happy Hour Menu at The Brass Tap though assuredly it will improve...I almost feel guilty about how easy it is this year on every level but when I think back on what I dealt with over the last 5 Hunahpu Days my feelings of guilt have disappeared rather rapidly

    I left that box blank, and I was still able to purchase two tickets.

    I had no interest in taking that chance as this is my first visit to this event.

    Has anyone traveling to Hunahpu had any luck with the promo code from CCB for the Marriott hotel? I contacted the hotel and they said it's an invalid code. No luck after contacting CCB. Anyone else seeing a common theme with disorganization.

    Where are you getting this code? I know there was one for 2016, but have yet to see one for 2017.

    On Monday, CCB said they will speak with their contact at the hotel. I have yet to hear a response from that. Normal operating procedure?

    I didn't have any issues using the code a week or so ago - worked just fine.

    Marriott told me it was invalid. Maybe they only have a limited number of rooms for that code. Maybe they should either take it down or give me some info. Not a huge deal, but if it's available I would use it.

    I was going for convenience, and the Hilton only has very expensive rooms left. I thank you for your advice as planning from afar isn't always easy.

    Where did you find the code? I don't see anything on CCB website about hunahpu day other than the ticket sale info
