RIP Hunahpu’s Day – Will Go In Distribution Next Year

It's sad to see this nice little hobby I once had being polluted as craft beer gains more and more "fans".

I wish these people would stick to Coors Light.

I thought the same thing. And the barrel aged variants weren't all that amazing either. Give me a BBA Peche over them any day.

To each his own. I loved Huna the two times I have tried it. Never been lucky enough to try and BA versions though.

I thought it was good but not as good as I had expected. Not something I would trade hard for.

wouldn't they make a great deal more money by making more of it and issuing it year round? why don't they just do that?

I mean, I realize Craft Beer is not all about money, but it is partially about money.

It's hard to say without looking at the books, but I'm guessing that the time and storage required are such that their margins aren't good enough to justify it. Like making 5 bucks a bottle is good and all, but if it takes you 2 years to get that 5 bucks vs 2 weeks to get 50 cents from a pale ale...

Regular Hunahpu's isn't barrel aged or anything, so they could turn it around fairly quickly. Not quite pale ale fast, but a couple of months rather than years.

I imagine its more to keep up the massive hype it has.

Still trying, although probably pointless now.

What a dumb way to do this. Just make it a damn lottery.

You guys refresh or just trust that queue nonsense?

Anyone know of any ways around the ticket policy? Don't really feel like meeting up with some random and getting Dahmered.

I had two windows going one in queue from abour 12:44 and one refreshed from 12:58 on. The 12:44 window went through.

No idea, first time going. They're sending tickets via FEDEX so I dont think duplicating would be easy... and I read they wont change name on purchased tickets.

Yeah, just trusted the queue. Loaded the site at 10 to 1est and got taken to the purchase screen at about 1:08

Ale's What Cures Ya · Tue Mar 18, 2014 12:36 am

Eh, I trusted the queue and got royally shafted. Good times.
