The warming effects of the alcohol and chiles, while not overwhelming, provide a nice internal source of heat on a cold winter night. Tampa\u2019s Cigar City Brewing releases Hunahphu\u2019s in early March each year at the brewery, which is where I purchased my allotted four (now two) 750 ml bottles.<\/p>\n<p>Other special and rare brews on tap at the release day party make it a worthwhile road trip.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.2beerguys.com\/images\/forblog\/advent11\/cigar_city_hanahpu.jpg\" alt=\"Cigar City Hanahpu in bottles\" width=\"288\" height=\"216\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>About Road Trips for Beer:<\/strong><br \/>\nGerard Walen helms the online travel magazine <a onclick=\"javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('\/outgoing\/www.RoadTripsforBeer.com');\"  href=\"http:\/\/www.RoadTripsforBeer.com\">www.RoadTripsforBeer.com<\/a> and and founded and runs the <a onclick=\"javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('\/outgoing\/BeerInFlorida.com');\"  href=\"http:\/\/BeerInFlorida.com\">http:\/\/BeerInFlorida.com<\/a> blog.

Six 15 barrel, ten 30 barrel and three 60 barrels. There is rarely a day when each tank isn&#8217;t filled with beer.<\/p>\n<p>We use the highest quality ingredients we can lay our hands on and that is not just marketing jargon. If it makes better beer, we use it. We also strive to use local ingredients when and where we can. Not only do fresh local ingredients help us to make better beer, it helps us to make beer that reflects the culture and heritage of Tampa Bay. <a onclick=\"javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('\/outgoing\/www.cigarcitybrewing.com\/');\"  href=\"http:\/\/www.cigarcitybrewing.com\/\">http:\/\/www.cigarcitybrewing.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>@roadtrips4beer Beer Advent Calendar \u2013 Day 2: Hunahpu\u2019s Imperial Stout presented by Road Trips for Beer To celebrate the Holiday Season, 2Beerguys.com and Seacoastbeveragelab.com have teamed up with beer bloggers around the country to host the first annual beer bloggers advent calendar.
