Firestone Walker Double Jack is Back

Same here. My local bottle shop won’t get this so it’s up to the large retailers such as BevMo and total wine.

My one thought is I am traveling from Monterey to Orange County. Might stop by the brewery to see if I can have better luck.

 

Saw this pack today at a local distributor, packaged on 10/3 I think but didn’t pull the trigger. Double jack is tempting but didn’t want a whole 12 pack to get it

 

This is how I feel too. There are so many good fresh IPA’s out there there’s no reason to buy a 12 pack of old beer just get 3 old IPA’s.

 

Hmm, hard to figure it’s not everywhere in Ca, either retailer/distributors don’t know it’s available or they don’t think it will sell. I’ll add putting it in a mixed pack is a really bad idea imo too. I wouldn’t consider 5 weeks old Jack old, but I can buy the others beers in that pack as stand alone, not a great way to reintroduce this.

 

Damn totally forgot about that porter, that was a favorite for me years ago. I’m a big FW fan in general but mostly that means buying the barrel aged stuff these days. There is so much good to great hoppy beer available in my area I rarely buy anything more than a month old. Would definitely buy double jack if it fit that criteria.

mixed twelve pack of fresh cans - Pivo, UJ, WJ, wookey Jack. Hell even velvet Merlin. Make it happen FW.

 

Well, I am happy to report from here in Virginia that my guess was WRONG!

Enjoyed a glass of Double Jack on draft today, and it was just as delicious as I remember it. Even better, I left with a growler of it!

 

Lucky (tipsy) man!
