    Hi All,

    I'm looking into TBBW this year and was curious of a few things:

    -Are the events such as Cycle Stout Fest or Arkane in the Membrane musts? Or are the majority of the tappings still on the next days?

    -Any other events worthy of looking into that week besides the fest on Saturday?

    -Any recommendations on breweries to hit that week that aren't events? Or any other advise would be great!

    Thanks!!

    It would appear that there won't be a Hunahpu's Day this year. Cans of Hunahpu have been mentioned but nothing at all about a Fest.

    Cycle beers will be on tap the following days, but it truly is an amazing event with an epic bottle share. The shuffleboard club is an awesome, relaxed venue.

    I'd imagine that TBBW this year will have a lot of unknowns again due to Covid, so time will tell.

    Arkane just announces Arkane in the Membrane. I am waiting to see AC and Cycle do the Confection Affection event. That was awesome. low key low population.
    I think Omicron is going to put a damper on anything happening. I would not be surprised to see BA day cancelled if covid keeps spreading. My county Seminole had a 34% positive rate this week.

    Any word on what Angry Chair is doing this year? They have been releasing info about the Super Rad Set.

    I imagine they’re going to be announcing what they’re doing late. They have to want the new location with way more capacity open by TBBW, but they might not be able to get everything ready in time.

    Never been to Cycle’s BA day before. Is it like a usual beerfest or more so bring a couple bottles to share around?

    Bringing something to share is not a bad idea but not mandatory. There will be plenty of good beers included with admission and most people are very generous with what they bring to share as long as you're not trying to grab extra large pours.

    Anybody available to proxy for me for the AC Super Rad bottle set on Feb 5th? According to their FB post, 2 sets will be available to purchase. 1 for you and 1 for a proxy. I will be down there for TBBW so I will be able to pick up the set.

    Any chance places in Sarasota get any good stuff during that week? I just happen to be traveling with my young kids and in-laws of who are mostly non drinkers.

    If I can sneak away to get up to Tampa I will, but any idea where I should go on limited time? I’ve never been to any cities beer week or thing like this is the past.

    Has a number of the Super Rad taps lasted until the next day in the past?

    It's safe to say that there's going to be great draft options every day at AC during beer week.

    I heard Magnanimous was good. Maybe too IPA heavy.
