    Golden ticket could be bought by anyone for an extra 25 on your ticket, and was included in vip

    Desperado, pi, it was all a dream was included in vip

    Notorious was 40$ extra for vip 1 bottle

    There were bottle packages sold with a bottle of each of pi, desperado, and golden ticket (idk price on it)

    Thank you. I also forgot about Brush. Was that the only other stout that has been released and what was the story with that bottle release?

    Brush was released a few weeks prior, with dfpf and was 500 bottles 2 pp and sold out before the line ended

    I REALLY wish J. Wakefield would push their products out. I went to a bowl game in Orlando and thought for sure I could find some near by. Nope

    They're too small for that right now, even locally it's hard to find aside from the brewery. You will however see kegs drift upstate from time to time.

    Got to MIA Sunday. Visited brewery for the first time yesterday right when they opened. Had two flights with my family, a few full pours, and they had Golden ticket and Pi bottles available for sale. I had Golden ticket in my flight and was amazed.. most decadent dessert stout I've ever had. Got a bottle of that.
    Overall great experience!

    It was 75 and you could but multi packs!

    They sent out an email about it. I took advantage. VIP bottles plus extra. Win

    Anyone know the bottle count for Desperado? I assume IWAAD was only 300 bottles since it only came with the VIP, correct?

    Pretty sure Desperado was 600 bottle count (300 for VIP and 300 add on packages)

    Thanks.

    Glad the bottle count is bit higher this time around. Agreed to a trade for one already, but might go after a 2nd - such a great beer.

    It really is excellent this year. Desperado is getting overshadowed by all of the amazing Big Poppa variants that were released at the same time. If it had been released on a regular Saturday morning at JWB people would be going crazy for it

    I'm really happy for you,
    And I'mma let you finish...
    BUT DESPERADO IS ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED BEERS OF ALL TIME.

    Jiu Jitsu and Mango & Cash are drinking great, may grab another 4 pack of Jiu Jitsu if they still have this weekend. Prefer Jiu Jitsu myself.

    Also got to try Gimme Smores on tap at Union. Awesome stout, I did not think it tasted anywhere near the 14.5%.

    I'm visiting Miami for the first time next weekend (March 24-27) and thinking of stopping by JWB. Is what's listed on the website the only beers available at the brewery? http://www.jwakefieldbrewing.com/beers/

    Can we consume bottles or cans from the fridge? I plan on traveling light and don't think I'll be checking in any bottles back. I'd consider shipping some back to myself if some rarer bottles are still available like Golden Ticket. How do I find out what's available besides what's listed on the website?

    Also any food recommendations around there would be greatly appreciated.

    Many thanks!
