J Wakefield Releases

@HarryS, is growler availability and prices posted anywhere?

 

I'm not really sure, as far as what's available for growlers, but it's usually anything unless we have canned or bottled it. I can ask our Social Media dude + see if it's anywhere online. If I'm not mistaken, I know we usually post what's on tap on our Instagram, pretty much every day.

 

On instagram its posted maybe once a week and it never has any indication on what is available for fills. The post looks cool but If it means it being not posted more frequently, a quick pic of the board would be better.

 

Agreed. Could even throw an asterisk on the beers that are available for growlers.

I always seem to get mixed answers on what I can and can't fill

 

The taplist is updated on Beermenus pretty frequently, seems several times a week. But no indication of growler availability and price; would be nice to know those things. Thanks @HarryS

 

I like the * next to available growler fills idea. I'll suggest it.

 

Check out Angry Chairs instagram. They have a pretty good method up similar to this. Hope to make it down your way sometime soon!

So, I'm assuming this release won't be as crazy as the past ones. I've never been, but the weekends have finally worked out in my favor. What time would some of the locals recommend getting there?

 

I think it's safe to assume no one will be camping out at 5:00am for this release. I know I'll probably pass on the release and just pick up some of whatever's leftover on Tuesday.

 

Hey, Greg.

I don't anticipate anything crazy, either, but should still be a pretty busy day. Not sure about the bottle count for "Let Them Eat Cake", either. I'll keep you people's updated.

 

Love that Wakefield has been releasing new cans/bottles every couple weeks. Can't think of anyone else doing it in Miami/Broward. May have to check out those IPAs. Green Monsta was great, only wish I had gotten a sixer at the release and not a month later.

 

2nd batch of Green Monsta, the one we canned, is my favorite IPA that we've done, with Power Up Peach not too far behind.

 

Looking forward to Dodge that will only be hopped with Citra. Definitely going to stock up on those. Also man would canned power up peach be great.

 

Seriously. That beer was phenomenal.

 

Just a heads up.....Not sure about the exact bottle count, but there will not be too many bottles of Let Them Eat Cake. Not 100-250 like our BA stuff so far, but definitely a low bottle count.

 

JW said around 500 of each on his IG post.. under 40 case of each of the cans. More details to come out tomorrow. Wish I could make this one, I'm out of town though

Surprised to see case limits on such low can yields (not that either are worth maxing out for)

Natalie Wakefield Ordinarily I would not submit to responding to these rants because I know it's just that. Someone letting out there agrivation But I can not tolorate someone speaking such lies about my husband.
First, I don't believe any OG who complained understands what it's like to try to open a business. Let a lone a new brewery in a city where breweries are new and all the red tape involved. Could he have had better communication, yes. Did he apologize for that yes!
I love seeing how people think that the OG's opened the brewery. Folks do u have any idea how much it costs to open a brewery?
We are and will always be humbled, honored and appreciate everyone's donation it withought question helped. But please don't tell me you did not get your money's worth. And if your upset about not having the OG Society again, the reason for that is because of people like you who could not see the struggles we had and tried to make the best of it rather than being a group of haters that made our lives very difficult with never being happy and nothing being enough.
I am truly sorry you feel the way you do and if you were to actually come to the brewery or to any of our events or releases you would see that He is still very much the man he has always been, humble caring and trying to make the best beer he can bringing the craft beer community together. You all just need to stop hating.
May God bless you and I'm sorry you were so upset!
