Firestone Walker Double Jack is Back

Looks like the new Luponic Distortion (I've generally enjoyed the series), Easy Jack, and some kind of Merlin (I see there is a coconut version on their site, but I'd assume it was the nitro) in the pack. I could get through those for a revisit of Double Jack - if it can get here relatively fresh, since I agree with others about this general distribution problem.

 

Short answer is very. Come to think of it that's the long answer too.

 

I remember JackJack in bombers and 4 X 12 oz. Did it ever come in a six pack?

 

I’m stoked. Bring it on. Don’t even care if it’s a mix pack.

I’ve had 51 beers from Firestone....love them

 

Nope. And the 4 pack was moderately tricky to find

 

I don't remember liking Double Jack as much as Union Jack. Then it just disappeared. Yeah, even it's only part of mix pack, I'll pick it up just to try it. Wanna see how it tastes now and if I remember it differently.

Definitely remember it went downhill in a hurry after sitting on shelves for a month.

 

What else is the mixed pack?

If I find FW fresh, I'm buying...everything is good IMO.

 

I wouldn’t hate DJ, UJ, Pivo in a mixed pack. 4 of each a month old I’d buy.

 

I dream of that pack. Pivo is my favorite lager. I think.

 

It really is. I'm bitter about wookey jack going away, but I keep buying their stuff. Started buying dba well over 20 years ago and haven't stopped.

 

Very hard to beat it, even the local fresh stuff isn’t as good as a 2-3 month old Pivo. Imo of course, and I’d love to get two week old stuff.

 

Wookey Jack and their Walker Reserve Porter will always be missed.

 

I'm only 2 hours from the brewery and It's hard to get really fresh. I always grab some when I'm in Paso though.

 

If it’s 4 months old it’s as fresh as it gets here, unfortunately that’s a rarity.

 

That's rough. After 90 days all their beers tend to go south. Do cans hold up better than bottles?

 

It would help if they continued to put Pivo in cans. I only see bottles these days.

 

A couple places by me always have it, so they must be canning it. My distributor sucks though, so it's hard to catch. Too bad, because it's one of my go to boat beers, and I try to only stock cans in the galley.

 

Only cans here, I’d think cans would stand up better than bottles though.

 

Consider yourself lucky. Cans>bottles>old bottles>regular situation = old or nothing. This is Firestone distro in their California homeland.

 

Sign me up, if less than 30 days old at purchase I'd buy this regularly!

Only time I see Pivo cans is in Paso, and I always grab a case...as I never see Pivo 'in the wild' in Norcal anymore
