    I counted 36, $720. It is what it is, dick move for sure... but I figured in Miami 2017 we'd all be used to this sort of fuckery.

    I agree limits should always be a thing but I couldn't make it and my friend scooped 10. So I lucked out this time lol

    haha sucks until it works in your favor? .....Kidding.

    Ya I'm surprised it was not like a case limit. Who knows maybe they just wanted it gone.

    I genuinely enjoy One Trick Pony more than DFPF with Orange Dreamsicle 3rd and Taking my Talents coming in 4th, but since One Trick was only a 2 or 3 per person limit release it didn't help anyone to hype it up as a 'dfpf killer.'

    I have too many 750s and skipped out on this release.

    Need to work on my force powers -- "You will start canning your sours..."

    I think a case limit would have been appropriate, but then again I'm not tasked with having to do things like climb in fermenters and brew all morning, then spend my afternoon/evening in the heat selling beer. My guess is they are really busy and didn't want to make a mission out of this release.

    With the in-house bottling line now and the place already packed to the hilt with barrels, space is probably also starting to be an issue.

    Is it too early to begin discussions on the Big Poppa release?

    Wonder if those cans will be exclusives for the respective bottle shops

    As per Instagram, both Slammin' Bones and Frank White are available for sale in the JWB taproom.

    In related news, anybody hear that Slammin' Bones is the same thing as Wild Card? Personally, Wild Card is my favorite JPA (juice pale ale) that JWB makes. Would love to do a side by side but no Wild Card cans sadly.

    Seriously this shit needs happen. Going to visit the brewery this week to plead my case.

    Nothing better than a good sour when you're in the sun.

    Miami Madness also needs to make a summer appearance. And cans too!

    They make too much money selling these Berliners in bottles. I doubt that's gonna change

    I think it has more to do with recouping their cost of brewing something like Miami Madness (where they had to purchase 1000+ lbs of mango and guava), as opposed to pure profit being the main reason for bottling instead of canning.

    That being said, I'll definitely "settle" for cans of regular stush.
