A 4 Hour Drive For Honey Boo Boo

Last time, I left you with our 4th of July Shenanigans…

 

Saturday, we were up bright and early to go to Tampa. Why did we drive the 4 hours to Tampa? To pick up beer! Before you think we are raging alcoholics let me explain…

Cigar City releases a beer every year called Hunahpu. It’s a big deal. People wait in line for hours to get it. Well this year, they aged some of the Hunahpu in Brandy Barrels. The only way you can get this Hunahpu is with a voucher. I’ve seen it referred to as “The Golden Ticket” for adults. Huck and Greg were lucky enough to win a voucher. Each voucher is for two beers. {Cigar City has a list of everyone that won a voucher. You have to show your ID and voucher to pick up the beer. Again, it’s a big deal}

The plan was to check out a few breweries while in Tampa before picking up Honey Boo Boo. Gump didn’t understand why anyone would drive across the state to pick up a “What is it called? Honey Boo Boo?” So, now it’s the Honey Boo Boo beer.

We started our day at 7venth Sun. Huck’s friends EG and Laura were in town and came out to meet us, too.

After a few beers, we walked down to Dunedin Brewery. 

I ordered a Razzyberry Wheat (Raspberry Beer) and a burrito. At this point it was after 5 and we skipped lunch {Bad married people}. I wasn’t a fan of the beer and was really hungry. I was hoping for a light raspberry taste but it wasn’t.

 

I tried to finish it but after eating my large burrito, I started making me feel sick. I stuck to water the rest of our time there. I did try some of Huck’s and Greg’s beers, though. They were good.

Next up, Cigar City.

The boys cashed in their “Golden Ticket” and locked the beer in the car. The fear was someone would drop it or break into the car and take them.

After Cigar City, we hung out at the hotel bar before calling it a night.

Everything is better looking over the water.

Our hotel had a great view too. I wish we had more time to hangout by the pool. It looked very relaxing.

We had lunch at a country buffet and spent sometime rocking on the porch before making our way back to Palm Beach with Honey Boo Boo.

      He thought Hunahpu sounded like Honey Boo Boo. This is Gump! He’s weird!

    We drove over this past sunday with golden tickets in hand. I’m surprised yall didn’t go to the Cigar City Brewpub first. They had 42 bottles of vintage cellared CC beers. $20 a bottle. We picked up the 2012 Sweet Imperial Stout and 2012 Hunahpu. Just posted a pic to your twitter.

      My husband’s friends own 7venth Sun so he wanted to see them. Cigar City was closer to our hotel if we needed a cab.
