Your top 5 Huna Day draft beers

I missed out on the dark lord too pretty bummed (not sure what happened with the 1 o'clock "update" that was bs) other than that I enjoyed several beers from what I remember.

In no order:
Funky Buddha pineapple hop gun
Funky Buddha last snow
White oak jai alai
Can I count rare dos and rare vanilla?
Good ol hunaphu

Great time!

 

It was a crazy day, didn't get to sample nearly as much as I would have liked, but still had a great tasting!

For me:

1. Bourbon Vanilla Dark Lord
2. Apple Brandy WWWW
3. Hunahpu '13
4. Bohr/Dirac Blend
5. Cherry Cordial Imperial Sweet Stout

Great to meet quite a few of you and an excellent outing overall!

 

I sort of accidentally got really drunk and don't remember everything I had, but I remember loving the CCB Mango Habanero IPA. So fruity against such nice pepper warmth. Really well done.

I loved the CCB Blueberry Muffin Brown, though it seemed sort of less like a true brown and more like a novelty. Still fun and good.

The CCB Oatmeal Raisin Cookie was really nice.

I had a sip of somebody's pineapple something that was really good, maybe the Funky Buddha Hop Gun? (it was darker, so I'm pretty sure it wasn't the CCB pineapple lager).

I had a sip of CCB Snack Attack, which was great.

Also had several great Rare D.O.S. variants at Peg's on Friday.

There were so many others I wanted that I missed due to those insane lines, particularly the middle one. Uff, that was rough. Still though, while trying fewer awesome beers than you wanted is worse than trying all of the awesome beers you wanted, trying some awesome beers is a lot better than trying none. So I call the day a great success.

I'd like to send a shout out to my college drinking career for helping me develop the gigantic bladder that helped me survive the bathroom lines.

I was surprised by how chill most people were. There were plenty of line cutters out there doing the underhanded thing, but everybody I talked to was very nice and cool. And I thought I'd be more worried about leaving my stuff laying around while off in line, but since we had met all the people sitting around us and since somebody was always in our little camp area, I wound up not worrying at all and we had no incidents.

 

The home brews.

 

PFDF
Snack Attack
Caligula Blushing
Mate Bliss Brown
And, the ever mysterious "DAS CACTUS". Who brewed it? Why was it so delicious?

 

Word of the day: Wakefield!

J. Wakefield - Master Blaster Porter
J. Wakefield - Emmit Fitz-Hume Cabernet Sauvignon Berliner
Funky Buddha - Starfruit Berliner
J. Wakefield - Rebengas Fruta Bomba Berliner
CCB/Funky Buddha - Snack Attack
Terrapin - Double Chocolate Bourbon Barrel-aged Moo-Hoo
J. Wakefield - Dr. Zarkov Sour Ale

Had a very small sample of the BA Vanilla Dark Lord, it was incredible, but hard to rank on a small sample

I think I got big stout overload at Peg's, so I tended to go after other styles at CCB.

 

Das Kactus was from 7venth Sun Brewing

 

Passionfruit / Dragonfruit Berliner was the star of the show, hands down. Had extremely high expectations for it and was still blown away. Hats off to JW.

Honorable mentions:
BVDL
Last Snow
FB Starfruit Berliner

7venth Sun makes a Das Kaktus prickly pear Beliner, was on tap at their brewpub this morning. Tasted true to the fruit, really enjoyed it.

 

Where was all the Wakefield?

 

They were all tapped at that same tent (2nd one from the right, in the back). When each one kicked, they put on the next one.
- Master Blaster
- Brown Ale
- Rebengas Berliner
- Cab Berliner
- Miami Madness (the only one I missed )
- Sour Ale

- Dragonfly/Passion Fruit (tapped at 1pm) - forgot to put this one my list

 

I was only there for a short period of time due to other commitments, but I did have the following both of which were firsts for me:
Palate Wrecker
Huna 13

I thought both of these were asbolutely amazing and I would not pass up if I had the chance to get again. Jai Alai was as delicious as ever.

 

Habanero Sculpin was awesome!

 

Pineapple upside down cake was really good from CCB.
Leon
Cognac Imperial Sweet Stout
Last Snow
CCB Dry Hopped IPA

 

Miami Madness
Pepper Mango
Pineapple right side up cake
Blueberry Berliner
Cherry Cordial

 

Tough question, for me most of my favorites were what people shared with me Rare, Fou' Foune, and Apple Brandy Hunahpu (Big thanks to everyone that shared these with me these were definitely my highlights!)

My favorite drafts were (in no particular order)
2013 Hunahpu
Snack Attack (I love this beer, and I always miss it, finally got to try some) Love me some PB
Special Hopterations- Mango Berliner-Man That is good
Special Hopterations- Dan's Double IPA
Brengle's Double IPA-Please bottle this (or make it a tap room regular)

I have to admit I actually didn't have a ton of draft pours this year, but these were by far my favorites from the day.

 

I really enjoyed a cherry sour from gravity brewpub. Anyone have the name of that? Also barrel aged moohoo was pretty tasty!
