Cigar City El Catador Club Thread

[MrVonzipper]

Personally, I wouldn't make this trade.

Personally I would make 90% of the trades out there. That doesn't mean it's not a fair offer.

No one will be disappointed with GGA it is amazing! If you are worried about the collab look up the brewery and read about John Harris. I am excited for this. News of the DBA Huna is just makes me so glad I'm in this club.

is double huna a Catador exclusive?

Probably and I really hope so.

I sort of doubt it, CCB seems to like throwing a shitshow party. Though I suppose there could be a single-barrel Hunah for that...

 

[CharlieMurphy1]

So double down on illuminating the path?

 

[DanzBorin]

Haven't had it. Should I?

 

[CharlieMurphy1]

[DanzBorin]

I took your comment in a different direction... now I get it!

I haven't had it yet, but from a trusted friend with similar taste in beer, it's a letdown. The words "stale red wine" don't instill confidence in my mind. I'm sure others will disagree, but for the money I advise caution on that one.

Despite your warning, I couldn't help myself. I hope to be pleasantly surprised.

Wish I would have seen this before I pulled the trigger. Oh well...

 

[Alex2]

Yeah I'm still trying to decide if I should double down or not.

 

[DanzBorin]

GGA was a no brainer, but I went for both.

 

[DrLoveMD]

As long as they aren't as bad as Forgotten Island...**** me. Sweeter than CR imo.

Yeah, just reading "wine barrel aged" and "$26.57" together makes me feel retarded. Thinking about it, even if it is good, a red wine barrel non-sour isn't worth that much money or anywhere close in my mind

 

[Lasering]

You will kick yourself later for not getting it once you taste it. Definitely different and I think definitely good.

Same. I doubled down on everything. Hope I don't end up hating myself when I pick it all up.

I went back after reading this, and still just couldn't put it in my cart

Good move. I had it and will be extra-ing my other bottle to someone I don't like very much.

You mean the one I bought an extra of… common! I'll give one a try and age one for a decade, like my Veritas 09, to see if gets crazy good or crazy terrible… I am still waiting to open my last V09...

I've had people offer up some very nice things for V09. Some also really like Illuminating the Path, just not for me.

March 8th, 2014 is Hunahpu's Day. Here are some important details:

- It's again taking place at the brewery.
- We are setting a max attendance of 3,500 people.
- The day will operate differently than in years' past. Instead of using tickets or tokens to buy individual beers, the event will be more like a "beerfest" and attendees will pay one flat rate to enter the fest and sample as many beers as they'd like all day.
- A ticket will be required to enter the fest.
- Tickets to enter the fest will be $50. All attendees will receive a special Hunahpu's Day sample glass.
- The tasting room will be open, but separate from the Hunahpu's Day Fest. There will be no samples in the tasting room that day, only pints and snifters of whatever is on tap.
- There will be no brewery tours on Hunahpu's Day.
- We plan to sell bottles of Hunahpu's Imperial Stout throughout the day. Details on bottle limit, etc are still being determined.
- There will be no parking at the brewery, however across the street at the old Sears & Roebuck building will be parking, as well as a few other businesses in the neighborhood that will open their lots (for a fee). Please DO NOT PARK in the residential neighborhood, or at Home Depot, Whole Foods, Target, etc. Like every year we strongly encourage carpooling.
- There will be merchandise and other goodies to purchase that will be cash only.
- Food trucks will be there, as well as live music!
- The fest will be from 11am to 5pm.

Details for purchasing tickets to the Hunahpu's Day Fest will be announced VERY soon, however we would like to say now that El Catador Club members will receive first access to purchase them. If you're an El Catador Club member, stay tuned to your emails (and the Facebook and Twitter) for more details.
