Cigar City (2019)

How is Today’s bottle (Emotional Support Duck)? Can I get some if I go there tomorrow evening?

 

Today's bottle is a PB&J stout. If you like how that sounds, you'll like it. I'd say bottles will probably be gone by tomorrow evening, but draft should stay on.

 

For those curious, I stopped by around 2 today and was able to grab both Emotional support Duck and the Smiling Nut. Looked to be plenty of both still available

 

Have there been limits on the releases this week?

 

4 per person. I personally loved emotional support duck. Today’s was also very good.

 

CCB has been really nice and not at all crazy the past few afternoons. Had Made for a fun beer week.

 

As mentioned 4 pp. Crowded but not crazy, currently having a space bishop (which is delicious). Happy beer week everyone

 

Wed and Thurs still available?

 

When I stopped by their tasting room after Hunahpu festival, there were plenty of bottles of Wed and Thurs left. They were even selling 4packs of 2017 Hunahpu.

 

Would be cool if they switched from 750ml to 12oz bottles. Also had 2018 huna on tap and was highly disappointed. Recently had Abraxas and it is a heck of alot better than huna. I thought the opposite a few years ago

 

12oz .... I'd go with no in my opinion. 500ml? I'd be on board with that

 

2018 Huna sadly was bad.

 

How did the 2019 Hunah come out? Was it better than the 2018?

 

It was really terrible. So bad to the point that I didn’t even bother trying to buy bottles this year like I’ve done basically every year.

 

I wouldn't call it terrible lol. Maybe in comparison to hunas of years past, but not like sink pour worthy.

For what it's worth, the 18 I opened two weeks ago was more pleasant than the one I opened a year ago.

 

I heard this from a few friends & it appears that the beer wasn't terrible, but there was some high bottle variability, which I do not recall from any past release. We've had bottles that were blah & others that were excellent - not sure what happened exactly!

 

Maybe I’m not as much of a beer snob as I thought, but I still really enjoyed 18 Huna. Though I do agree this years tasted “better” based off my sample taste Huna Day. Have yet to crack a bottle this year but will be doing so soon.

 

Hunah 18 tasted like a Burnt Tire..total Drain Pour..it's been steadily downhill since 15 which is not surprising since they are brewing so much of it these days
