Autographed Firestone Walker Double Jack bottles. Drink or save?

I would drink the beer and recycle the bottles.

 

As they've been rolling out FW across Texas, David Walker has been attending 5-6 events in each city (Austin, DFW and then will be Houston) and he autographs the bottles at all of these events. I dont know that they have much "value" in that he is signing hundreds of bottles, but I DO think they're pretty cool, and would probably keep the bottle after I've had the beer.

 

I would drink the beer and throw the bottle in recycling.
I'm not an autograph guy though.

 

I can't speak for David Walker but I feel like if I where a brewer I wouldn't sign bottles of my beer if that meant people weren't gonna drink it.

 

Definitely, definitely drink it. It does sound pretty cool tho so I'd probably pop the cap back on and save the bottles. Keeping it as a true collectible, it's no more valuable full than empty so don't deprive yourself.

 

grown men don't need other grown mens autographs imo

 

I've had a Double Jack. Drink it fresh. Same level, if not better than PtE

 

Haha.. David Walker thinks people want his autograph.

 

I recieved a bottle of $28 Makers Mark that came out during Obama's first election as a gift. I have yet to crack it, for no reason, and now I've seen unopened bottles be bought by collectors on Ebay going for $80. It has Red, white and blue wax sealer, and a different label, but beats me why it's worth more

 

In this picture he's thinking, "Maybe someday I'll autograph some bottles to illustrate my self importance".

 

I save memorable bottles in general, whether it be something I got on a memorable occasion or something that was particularly good or something I won't have again, etc. (Kinda arbitrary, really.) So, that said, I'd save one of these. I don't have a particularly good place for them at the moment, but I intend to have a bar/room to display them in at some point.

 

Pliny is better, but Double Jack is not far behind. Excellent and readily available.

And to the OP, drink it and save the bottle. If you stop caring about it down the road then recycle it.

 

well then thats up to you, if you think it's cool you might as well keep it. I was giving my point of view. I don't even try to get autographs from pro athletes when given the chance, they don't mean much to me unless their worth something, and very few autographs are worth anything.

 

That's cool, but...nope. Just don't want to add any degrees of difficulty to this "hobby". I'm good just drinkin' 'em.

 

I'd drink the beer and then throw the bottle on a shelf. A signature like this isn't about being worth money, it's just neat.
