Hunahpu's Day is no more

[mixed_master7]

From random un verified sources, I heard there was just less to go around this year.

Mainly because people were allowed to leave with cases, while others got the shaft. It isn't like they just didn't make enough for everybody. They just didn't handle the distribution properly. X amount of bottles is still X amount of bottles whether everyone gets some or one person buys it all.

 

[mixed_master7]

Now THAT is an event that I would like to go to.

 

[sacrelicio]

Instead of concentrating the sales in one day, they are making people drive around store to store to store to get bottles. Will make getting them that much harder, actually. Kind of sucks for the people that cant afford to go, but still want a bottle. Trade value just shot up.

An event only, one day release makes it easier for hoarders and scalpers. If it goes into distro, it becomes the equivalent of Sucaba or Parabola or BCBS. Easy to get for some, hard for others, and overall, super easy to trade for.

Yah, as a matter of fact, as soon as the word "distributed" is used regarding a beer's availability, the trade value goes down. Well, that and when stupid Cali people start trading bottles of CFH for it.

 

[jparkanzky]

How does this make the "trade value" go up?

He's speaking micro in a macro situation.

 

[xnicknj]

Great news. Stoked for $35 bottles of Hunah in Philly.

 

[lazerviking]

Great news. Stoked for $3550 bottles of Hunah in Philly.

FTFY Nick!

 

[bramsdell]

...Am I the only one who remembers that there is no shame in choosing not to drink Hunapu's if it gets too arduous? Or Bomb! or any other beer for that matter?

I'm terrible at this hobby.

Proprietor's Effect: "I drove all around town all day and waited in all kinds of lines to get a marked-up bottle rabble rabble rabble!"

I don't think saying the "trade value" went up is exactly the right way to put it; a more accurate description would be something like "a lot of people who get single bottles from stores are going to ransom the hell out of them". I don't recall the secondary/trade market being nearly as stupid after last year's Hunah Day as it is right now, so we are already seeing that kind of behavior.

Came to post this. Instead of people trashing the brewery, they'll be 'boycotting' stores and trying to factor the rising cost of gas into their bottles bc they had to chase a truck across the Everglades to land 1 bottle after visiting 8 stores and signing up for 6 different lists that didnt actually exist. At some point, people will begin incorrectly using the term "price gouging" and then someone will post said definition, followed by a different argument about what it actually means. Srs cant wait.

So glad Mexican Cake is a better beer and I'll be able to walk into my local store and grab a case off the floor instead.

 

[MordorMongo]

I'm still blaming all of this on Loweballz.

Oh, and now jegross2 since he was in the mix.

******* amateurs.

 

[JulianB1]

Loving that over on the other channel, the thing people seem most outraged about is the Catador beers being on sale.

So true, and I think bramsdell said it best.

I finally got to try mexi cake at Huna. I thought it was really spicy. Then the friend that let me taste it noted that he hadn't washed his glass and mango magnifico was in it right before. Haha

Nice to meet you, and If you are ever looking for anything from my neck of the woods, don't hesitate to ask for a goandpickitupformebro.

Thanks man, likewise! Also with regards to the Mexican Cake that Westbrook was pouring, apparently it was actually a blend of a mostly Mexican Cake keg, with some Siberian Black Magic Panther and something else. At least that's what I heard.

I opened a bottle of last year's MC in the line for the El Cat beers and thought it was doing very well. Much better than the original batch was with a year of age on it.

Yeah but Prop was Chicago only. If they make more Hunah next year, then spread it across their footprint, the hyping dooshes won't have much leg to stand on.

That's never stopped them before.

Oh true, for sure, but they won't be able to pull crazy **** with a bottle of Huna, and you might be able to buy one off the shelf anyways. It'll be easier for most people to acquire if it's in distro, unless you are trying to hoard.

 

[brees6221]

We can't get this **** right, let's just quit.

Or they could hire the guys from Voodoo as consultants for the weekend to show them how to run a ******* event the right way. I know Voodoo-CCB is an apples to oranges comparison as far as the breweries themselves go, but the just need to follow the same methodology and scale it for a bigger crowd.

If you are talking about that other place I really can't do that.

Well won't is more accurate. Consider it a moral stand I am taking for all those too weak to do so themselves.

And quite frankly I'm sure you are right without even having to look.
