NightWoundsTime Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 As in the title, just announcing for the beer folks that Cigar City's big yearly release event is March 12th at the brewery. Noon to Midnight, and there will be tons of great beer on tap, as well as food and music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrion Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Matt, I am going to try to schedule something up there for Friday afternoon so I can get there at 12 to get a number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggeh Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 If I can start writing off trips to the States as business expenses so long as they involve visiting a brewery, I'll be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightWoundsTime Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) Matt, I am going to try to schedule something up there for Friday afternoon so I can get there at 12 to get a number. The 12th is a Saturday and they're handing out armbands starting at Noon. I'm guessing there won't be a number system, just a line starting before 6. Initial limit is 4, they're only handing out 750 armbands and there are 3000 bottles so getting to the front of that line won't be necessary. After everyone's been through and I'm guessing turned in their bands they'll sell off whatever's left. Last year there were a lot of people who didn't take their limit of 6 so I'm guessing we'll be able to buy whatever we want. I'm bringing mules though, just in case.

Visiting a brewery to taste the #3 beer on Ratebeer and bring back bottles of #17 should be worth something, shouldn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manaox2 Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) Can't make it. I has a sad. Any way I could trade a bottle of something special or, you know, money? As Emelius stated, if not, I'll live. Edited March 7, 2011 by manaox2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightWoundsTime Posted March 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 (edited) Just wanted to post what you're all missing: Hunaphu Release Day Details The first 750 people who receive a wristband will be able to buy Hunahpu’s Imperial Stout (up to 4 bottles) when it goes on sale at 6pm. If you are paying by credit card you will be able to pre-pay for your bottles immediately or throughout the day so that you can quickly get your bottles when they go on sale. If there are any bottles left after all 750 people have come to claim/buy their bottles OR 9pm (leaving a 3 hour window for you to claim your bottles if you have a wristband) the remaining bottles will go on sale to the public. Bottles will be for sale ONLY at the brewery. They will not go into distribution. *Re-Entry is allowed throughout the day so you can come and get your wristband and come back later if you have something else to do, it is not required that you be here all day to claim your bottles at 6pm. In addition to Hunaphu's Imperial Stout, we will have other limited bottles for sale in the brewery: Papaya IPA (Benefit beer for the Florida Brewer's Guild) Dirac Imperial Sweet Stout (Mikkeller Collab) Bohr Imperial Sweet Stout (Mikkeller Collab) Vuja De (St. Somewhere Collab) Humidor IPA Warmer Winter Winter Warmer Guava Grove Tap List- (CCB) Jolly Guava 2011- Only 5 gallons of this one!

Whole Foods Hooker Tea Company Hey look California... our breweries know how to throw a party! Team FL always does that best. As far as bottles... NO BOTTLES FOR YOU! Probably. Mike gets bottles even though he can't come to the party. But that's because he's OGFL and I can't leave him behind.

Voltron Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 (edited) Wah! I want to go to Hunaphu Day too! Amazing beer lists. Are you staying at the same hotel so you can just stumble in/out? EDIT: Fucker! I just read the note underneath. That's fucked that we get no bottles. Edited March 9, 2011 by Voltron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggeh Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 My (very) thin chances of writing this off are dead. Although in better news, I will have a commercial scale brewing facility for use by or before this time next year. I'll have to have some of you buggers over this side for the inauguration.

NightWoundsTime Posted March 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 (edited) Very Very Interesting. I'll have a couple bottles of smaller CCB limited releases on hand to make sure I get in on that. Also just added to the tap list: White Oak Patio Tools. As I've commented before, White Oak Jai Alai IPA is pretty awesome, but they've only made small batches and the distributor really hoarded them. I don't know where they went but they never hit the market. Patio Tools is the yearly St Patty's Dry Irish Stout (and if you say the name out loud a few times it makes sense). I have no way to imagine what this beer will taste like with the White Oak addition, and I like that feeling.
