Now for the beers (the moment you've been waiting for). On tap:

More Cigar City beers will make an appearance. Most of them are rarely found anywhere else other than at the Cigar City brewery in Tampa, such as the Patio Pils, Humidor IPA and Cucumber Saison, so this is your chance to try 'em without having to drive 3-plus hours (not that you wouldn't).

The Hunahpu's Imperial Stout is particularly special, because it is only released once per year on Hunahpu Day, which is the second Saturday in March. According to myth, Hunahpu brought cocoa to the Mayans. Finding the special brew anywhere other than where it's made is particularly hard. One bottle usually sells for about $20.
