Hunaphu Day & Tampa Bay Beer Week (3/1-3/9)

[kalvarez]

Let me stop this rumor before it gets out of hand. It was three cases, and its only cause I tricked raymo out of the third one. Sent a case to Jeff smith, a case to John st Charles and the rest are for trolling

Can you please respond to the rumor that you paid for them in nickels causing a major disruption/delay to all lines at the event?

No, I paid with fistfuls of sheckles

To the people who are telling others they should have shown up earlier (here, Facebook, etc.): the problems were not due to CCB not having enough time. They would have had these issues regardless of when people lined up.

If one more person got there really early, then they would've gotten Huna or more pours, but everyone else behind them would've been more likely to be shut out. And that's not even considering that CCB explicitly told people NOT to line up early.

The know-it-all, arrogant ripping of those who came "too late" and missed out on things is wholly unwarranted. Let's give it a rest.

You want me to go ahead and just email you a label, or what?

JEG.. i watched you walk away with ALL THE BEER

 

[user 305169]

Driving back to Texas after the madness, which gives me plenty of time to reflect. IMO, there were two major blunders:

- Security. You're holding a ticketed event where you serve alcohol on your property, and there's not a fence around the perimeter? Seriously?! This is all sorts of unacceptable, not to mention a major liability lawsuit waiting to happen. Lack of security led to many of the other problems later that day.

- Selling cases(!) of DBH to the ~50 lucky people who happened to be standing nearby when they went on sale. This needed to be done via a lottery for 1-3 bottles, not a case. The FFF scratch-off ticket system is a good model to emulate.

I personally had a great time drinking some awesome beers with great people. However, had I followed CCB's instructions to arrive "fashionably late", I suspect my experience would've been dramatically different.

Sooooo.......got any extra DBH?

rrrrrrrrrats.

"Extra"? This is Florida, I'm in full-on hoarding mode.

 

[user 305169]

But seriously, I'd happily send you one if I got a case. Unfortunately, I was on the other side of the festival when it went on sale. ~100 other people in line ahead of me when they sold out.

 

[GetchaPull]

So many things wrong with Saturday - security, ticket/attendance accountability, DB Huna case limit (!), blended lines, volunteers getting shafted, food truck owners getting boned on showtime, fights, rude/unacceptable staff behavior, yadda, blah, blech. At least the refunds will happen and they had enough porta-potties.

The best thing about this weekend was putting faces to familiar names and sharing beers with some great people: msw105, mhenson42, Coldsnack, liquiddegenerate, some window licker named MKLEVER42, hotmetal, ThreeFishes, Hopsiam14, maltytasker, StoutSeth, Hanzo, richardflyr and many others from the other site. Hope to drink with all you dudes again and I'd have you over for food, beers and bullshitting anytime.

Despite having personally had a great time, that had to be biggest fiasco in craft beer history. I'm not mad but I feel bad for those who really got screwed over. Also, can someone get touch with @jloomis on the other channel and get him over here? Wanted to thank him again for letting a bunch of us hang out at his tasting table and sharing so many great beers. Huge thanks to everyone else who shared beers, especially whoever had the Schramm's Heart of Darkness, and the '12 Bourbon Dark Lord. Glad people seemed to like the homebrew growlers I had with me. Wish I had brought more bottles to contribute. Silly me thinking that at a ticketed beer festival we wouldn't really need to because there would be plenty of tap pours...

I'd love an extended report about that one then!

I'm really disappointed I can't make it to DLD this year, would love to see how it compares with yesterday.

Incredible group of generous people. It was nice popping bottles on the backside of the property in the "**** this ****" section of Huna day. These dudes, and many others, made this an incredible weekend.

The Full Pint just received the following word from founder of Cigar City Brewing, Joseph Redner in regards to future Hunahpu Days.
“I have always tried with these releases to balance fairness with the reality that some people will always try to get around your best efforts at fairness because they personally deserve more. This year they got WAY around my pitiful efforts.

I am acknowledging defeat. That was the last Hunahpu Day. The beer will go into distribution next year and hopefully spread out among many accounts it will get to consumers more fairly.



To those that got shut out this year we will be working on another batch.”

lel. could Cigar City react any more over the top stupid to this?

They could just stop making their mediocre chocolate chili stout as a solution to their fiasco. So yeah, they could react more over the top stupid to this

 

[ExcuzM3]

I understand admitting defeat and recognizing you screwed up really good, but cancelling the event all together?

Just have the damn bottle release Friday afternoon/evening, and event on Saturday. There are plenty of viable solutions, and can't believe they just decided to cancel it all together.

ok, bro

 

[lazerviking]

They are speaking in the heat of the moment. I wouldn't be surprised if they walk this back in a few days/weeks/months.
