Apparently JW's wife finally felt it necessary to speak out on behalf of the family on Facebook.....
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!
