Hunahpu's Day 2017

[Doc1]

Figured someone needed to start it.


So this is purely hypothetical at this point, but if I were to rent out a venue for the evening before Hunahpu's day in Tampa, for some casual drinking (I.E. Not a crazy drunkfest) with food, who might be interested in participating?

I knew my sentence didn't sound correct. Hypothetical. Lol.

What time is the Cycle event that day ?

What time is the Cycle event that day ?

Last years was from noon to 5pm.

 

[wuntrikpony]

This sounds like all kinds of fun.

 

[Doc1]

I'll try to update this as TBBW events become available as well. For any first timers, the week leading up to Hunahpu's Day is considered Tampa Bay Beer Week. There will be events at bars and breweries throughout the area all week. Then Cycle usually hosts a Barrel Aged Day (ticketed event) on Friday and may also have bottle releases throughout the week. 7venth Sun in Dunedin also typically hosts a Hunahpu's Hangover Day on Sunday, with great beers on tap as well. Also look for local liquor chain Leukens to do bottle releases that week as well.

What's the deal with Cycle Day tickets? How can I get them? If I go, how obliterated do you get from drinking all the stouts for 5 hours? I think I just answered one of my questions. First timer here as well.

Most people leave that event pretty well intoxicated. The tickets are almost always purchasable on site only, and they usually sell out very quickly, as it is not a huge event by most standards. That could change this year possibly, as they have expanded their barrel program.

Oh i am so down

 

[nathanmiller]

I'm definitely down for a low-key type thing. You thinking like a casual (i.e. non-whales-only, Ratebeer-style) bottle share or something like that? Cuz I am always on that page.

The Cycle thing sounds great too, but if tickets are sold onsite, that makes it highly unlikely that I'd be able to go, what with not living in Florida and all...

 

[Doc1]

I don't even usually bother with cycle BA day, not because it's bad, but because I don't like waiting in line for things, like tickets. Yeah it will just be whatever beer you want to bring, no expectations for whatever I end up hosting. If it's 6 or less people I'll host it, if it's more we'll find a chill space.

 

[ckowalski]

The lady and I will definitely be in for a share.

 

[mateoloco]

If I can swing it I'd be down. Buying a house so funds are a bit tight but I'm hopeful I'll make it down. I'm skipping Huna Day, as that was my least favorite (and most expensive) part of last year. I just want to go to shares and meet more TBers.

 

[factory1]

Pretty sure the four of us are in for this. Agree that timing is based on Cycle Day. I will plan to swing by regardless

I'd be down, depending on cycle tickets. I really loved that event last year and would love to score a ticket agsin this year.

First timer here as well but was able to grab my Huna ticket last week so looking forward to the experience! Always up for tips if anybody has them

I shall attempt to hang out with both of you and come to my own conclusions on who is the fool!!

Dammit why did I pay for the 8 bottle option if the 4 bottle option would return??

Because secretly you were somewhat worried that every other brewery in the country would stop making their version of stout with chilis, cinnamon, chocolate and vanilla.

If anyone is going to buy tickets for Cycle BA Day this Saturday and could purchase one for me, I can repay with $, thank you beers, a lock of neckbeard hair, jerky, etc!

I just saw this post today and all three options are still available.

Has the Huna breaking point finally come where this fest doesn't sell out? Technically they still have another two months to sell tickets, so it will probably still will, but I would imagine they're having a bit of a freak out wondering why it hasn't sold out instantly like every other year.

Maybe it'll be less crowded than last year...

The fact that is hasn't sold out makes me think they're selling more tickets than last year and that it will be more crowded.

If you're right, and by logic it seems that you are, I'll be glad it's my last year going.

I really wouldn't be surprised if they start selling Huna out of the tap room if it doesn't 100% sell out. Either that or offer to ECC members like a few years ago with the replacement batch.

 

[FishPondManager]

Looking for someone who won't be buying extra tickets for the Cycle event on Friday March 10th. Looking for 2-3 for the WeldWerks crew. Thank you crowlers and bottles will be provided.

Yeah, I'm a little worried about the amount of tickets. I thought 2015 was a perfect size.

Can 2014 Hunahpu Day be topped for best beer release ever?

Just got this email. It's for those who expressed an interest in El Cat but are still on their waiting list. This is a nice gesture and all, but just based on tickets still being available...doesn't seem all too exclusive.

Am I missing something ?

Yeah, same here. Doesn't seem like they are making anything available, since they still are? Plus, there is small print that the email you buy them with has to match your wait list email? Why, if I can just buy them through the regular link?

Apparently the Cycle event tickets were a **** show this morning. You had to be in line before 4 for 8am sale. Geez. Buddy down there is pissed. Never missed anything at Cycle. Got there at 5:45 and they told him he would miss it by 100 or so people

 

[Sam Fu]

Doug cut the line off after 80 people

 

[nathanmiller]

Doc somehow I got Cycle tickets and so I'm gonna go to that, but I'm also a responsible ticker so I'm still in if you're planning on something that evening.
