I'll be there. How bout ya'll?
It a lot of money for a bottle of beer, not to mention the drive time and gas (@ < 10 mpg from about 80 miles away ).
I would like to try it, but what are the tickets, $50 and the bottle 20-25$? I've never tried it before, and might be fun to see what all the hoopla is about.
My daughter has a volleyball "tournament" that day, so I may be hosed. I may see about buying a ticket though, and if I get one, then I will try to make it.
I've heard its sort of a tailgate party campout in the parking lot the night before with BBQ grills, and beer? Is this true? I'm getting a bit old for that, and maybe hitting a hotel and cabbie ride over in the morning would be a bit more my scene. I know technically its illegal to bring homebrew outside of your home, but It would be fun to meet some forum members and share some homebrews, if this is the type of event that it is. I've never been to this before, so I'm not sure what it is all about.

Actually its starting to sound like a lot of fun.
Any tips on how to ensure I get a ticket on the 20th?
TD
Yes. They said the ticket won't be tied to any individual.
I'll be coming down Thursday from Atlanta. 3rd year in a row. Can't wait.
If you buy a ticket and can't go, can you give it to somebody else?
Yes. They said the ticket won't be tied to any individual.
Good to know, thanks!
Can we bring Homebrew.
Absolutely!
Can we bring Homebrew to share or is that illegal?
Never been to a beer geek event before like this (well except the brews guild party in SD last fall for beer week kickoff but that was a while different vibe).
I just heard that CCB is only letting 3500 people in this year, last year the turn out was 10k?
I'm just waiting waiting waiting for 11:00cst to buy my ticket.
I'll be in Tampa (Palm Harbor technically) the whole week for Tampa Weer Week this year.

Wait... I'm supposed to let other people taste my beer??? Not sure I have that much self-confidence yet.
Up here (Minnesota) we have Darkness Days (@Surly) and people line up all night and bring the most outrageous stuff for bottle share... I assume that this is very similar. Except for the lining up ALL NIGHT... oh and it's not cold.
A tiny local brewery named Burnt Hickory in Kennesaw, Ga announced they will be pouring at Hunahpu Day. I don't know how they got an in to this, but congratulations to them. Highly recommend trying their stuff.
No free admission but there is a private tasting area for the brewers representing their beers usually.
I'm sure 7th Son will probably do an afterparty on Sunday, too down in St. Pete. I think they call it the Hunahpu Hangover Party.
If you are coming in from out of town, there is LOTSSSSS more going on in St. Pete than Dunedin! Although Dunedin is a cool little town on it's own, and 7thSun is a great little brewery, there are 6 breweries, about a dozen more brewpubs, and hundreds of restaurants and shops in St. Pete, all close to the waterfront and all within about a 3 square mile area at the most.
Good to know. I'll be there and I'm just starting to look into hotels. Thinking either downtown St. Pete, downtown Tampa or along the coast somewhere.
On another note, this is my first time and I'm super pumped. Coming from MN and I'll be bringing some rarities from Surly, New Glarus, Toppling Goliath, Central Waters and others. If this is anything like the Darkness Day bottle share, this will be awesome. Just not sure how I'll still be standing after seeing the master taplist :cross:
Wait, if you're bringing MN beer what am I supposed to bring
I'm thinking we might need to have a MN contingent planning meeting to prepare for Tampa Beer Week because I keep running into people who are going to be down there.
Haha...Coordinate and compliment each others selection?! I can focus more on WI beers and Toppling Goliath. Trying to bring the best of the best rather than just locals.
All they did was donate a keg or two. They probably still had to buy tickets to the event.
I have heard that they are letting people in as soon as they arrive, for this reason. But taps don't flow until 11. I can not speak to the validity of my statement.
I think a lot of us are at the Hilton. I was thinking the hotel so we don't gave to drive. Especially after Pegs that day.
