Episode 51 - Wayne Wambles, Cigar City Brewing

For the second part of our Hunahpu's Spring Break 2016 Spectacular®, we talk with Wayne Wambles, head brewer of Cigar City Brewing in Tampa. Wayne is the original brewer for Cigar City. He's the guy that came up with Jai Alai and Hunahpu's and Maduro Brown and all those other CCB beers you love to love. He's also a real brewer's brewer so for this episode, we pretty much just let him talk for 35 minutes straight with minimal interruption from the STB panel.

Note that this episode was recorded two days prior to CCB announcing plans to sell the brewery to Fireman Capital Partners and merging with Oskar Blues and a couple of others under the United Craft Brews consortium. We weren't just being bad journalists—Wayne didn't mention it during our interview and of course we didn't know enough at the time to ask.

Episode 50 - Johnathan Wakefield, J. Wakefield Brewing

We traveled down to Florida a few days ago for Cigar City's Hunahpu's Day® 2016. The festival was a blast, and went off without a hitch this year. Right before the gates opened, we got a chance to sit out on the lanai with one of the Sunshine State's finest brewers, John Wakefield of J. Wakefield Brewing. It was a breezy morning as you can tell from the recording quality (we apologize in advance!) but we had a great conversation about the almighty Florida Weisse and Johnathan's instrumental role in its invention. We also talk about more Florida beer and some cool collaborations that John is working on with our neighbors in NYC.
