Cycle/ccb bottle releases

New to the area, well, the state for that matter and have not been down here for any of these week long releases. Say, if I show up tomorrow for the release, can I purchase Monday's, Tuesday's, and Wednesday's? Or will I only be able to grab Wednesday's at 8AM since that is the release and they aren't technically open as it may slow down the line to get all 3. Any info is appreciated. Thanks!

 

You can get all 3. Most likely could go Friday and get all 5.

 

Anniversary Week Releases were all still available on Saturday of Release Week....and those were 5 bucks cheaper..and at a Non Holiday Time..and at a time when Tampa Bay Beer Fans had not been inundated with Numerous Beer Expenditures all at once....these could be around for several weeks is what I am saying

 

Are the bottle sales cash only at Cycle?

 

Yes

 

Tried both Hazelnut and Coffee Cinnamon tonight and they were both legit!

 

Coffee cinnamon was good. Cinnamon is not my thing in beer but it was enjoyable. Not quite the body I wanted but everything else was dead on.

 

Anyone that happens to be there Friday evening (in case Cycle doesn't announce it),would you mind updating if all bottles are still available. Planning on making the trip up Saturday morning. Thanks

 

Anybody mind commenting on how the Hazelnut compares to the original bottled batch? One of my favorite stouts so im hoping for good news haha, cheers!

 

Will do!

 

I was told that Monday looked low.

 

On a separate note, I had hazelnut vanilla Zhukov at CCBC tonight and it was awesome.

 

Had the coconut on draft tonight. First time with anything BA cycle. Was OK had a slight minty taste but as it warmed got more coconut forward. Picked up a bottle of Monday too. Steep but I'm a sucker for anything hazelnut.

 

Opened a bottle yesterday and it was fantastic. Let it warm a little and tons of coconut and smooth bourbon. Not thin at all like some previous releases. I'd say a touch thinner than '13 Prop is how it tasted. Hope the other bottles of the week follow suit, the draft pours are always thinner and more muted - and Doug will state the same.

 

Out of the first three days my order of preference is coconut = hazelnut > coffe/cinnamon. What are your thoughts?

 

Is everything currently still available in bottles? Possibly setting up just showing up tomorrow morning and grabbing a full set or 4/5?

 

Should be OK. I heard the bartender say Monday is getting low to a customer so that might be the only one that "kicks"

 

I noticed that Cycle opens normally at 3pm for the tap room, are the bottle sales open all day or just a few hours in the morning?

 

Wait until you try vanilla. It's SOLID.

 

Very nice. Today was the only day I could make it and I was able to grab an entire set.
