Hunahpu's Day Case Study

Improved Essays
Cigar City Brewing’s Hunahpu’s Day is a craft beer festival held on the 2nd Saturday of March and built around the once a year release of Hunahpu’s Imperial Stout. The beer itself has an 11% abv (alcohol by volume) and is aged on cacao nibs, Madagascar vanilla beans, ancho chiles, pasilla chiles, and cinnamon while enjoying a top rating of 100 on both beeradvocate.com and ratebeer.com. Cigar City upped their game this year allowing for three different ticket options. There was the choice of a four bottle option for $200, an eight bottle option for $300, and strictly for El Catador members, a twelve bottle option for $400. A few weeks before the festival bracelets containing RFID chips were received. Each bracelet bearing the number of bottles …show more content…
We finally ran into our other friends again and were lucky enough to be at the front of the line when Apple Brandy Vanilla Marshal Zhukov went on tap. I proceeded to work my way towards the back of the line and offered up a few tastes to folks that were so far back they would never be able to get even a sniff of it. A couple of the other Hunahpu’s treatments I actually remember having were Rum-soaked Oak Coconut and Cherry. Both of which were outstanding with Coconut being a step above Cherry. By now it had to be pushing 4 pm and I hadn’t eaten since the omelet at 8:30 that morning so I wandered off to use my food tickets which were included in the ticket price. I had a couple of bbq pork sandwiches, a bbq chicken sandwich, and two helpings of arroz con pollo (chicken & rice), all of which were …show more content…
The festival goers had the opportunity to vote for their favorite brewery and favorite beer. The results for top breweries from 1st to 3rd were 3 Sons Brewing Co., J. Wakefield Brewing Co., and MAZURT Brewing Co. The top honors for favorite beer from 1st to 3rd went to 3 Sons Brewing 's Apple Brandy Summation, 3 Sons Brewing 's JBM35, and MAZURT Brewing 's Coconut Apple Brandy. Personally, my favorite brewery of the day was Põhjala from Estonia. Their cognac barrel aged spiced imperial stout called Taanilinn Cognac BA was absolutely fantastic. The sherry barrel aged imperial stout called Pime Öö PX was also delicious, but not quite up there with Taanilinn. It’s always nice to find a brewery I’ve never heard of from a place that I had no clue even had a craft beer scene. Throughout the rest of the day, I sent everyone I could to the Põhjala tent. Unfortunately, they don 't currently distribute to the

    The Chicano Park day was eventful because of the community getting together to celebrate the culture and park. It was impressive to see the amount of people that attended the event and how diverse, especially because of the community it is located in I expected it to be particularly the neighbors. In association to the news and the elections, it is important to see the amount of support that the Mexican culture is receiving and together they can withstand anything. On my walk to the park I noticed that it was going to be crowded because of there not being any parking so we had to park down at the trolley station. This is my first time down there for this event, it was impressive because I would have never thought that due to the amount of people…

    Our National History day project is based on how Madalyn Murray O'hair's Supreme Court win, removing a majority of religious teachings in the public schools has been the major contribution to the increase of juvenile delinquency and student misbehavior. Ever since we've enrolled into a private catholic school from being in a public we've both noticed how different the public school system was drastically different.

    Ellis Island I walked noislessly through the market, listening to the nearly silent whispers that were surrounding me. The daily conversations of the Polish citizens still consisted of the New World, even though Ellis Island has been accepting immigrants for over 62 years. It seems like an amazing place. A place where the streets are paved with gold, and poverty was a word that simply wasn't in the Americans vocabulary. Ellis Island was the “Isle of Hope,” and it was every person's dream to start off a new life there.…
