J Wakefield Brewing thread

[Labors Of Hercules]

His wife needs to open a bottle of Not Even French 2.0

His wife needs to open a ******* dictionary. That was painful to read.

I'm so glad this thread is back to the important things. God damn. Cory's response to the Blanc de Blancs thing was the best brewer on brewer violence I've seen in months.

What happened with Blanc de Blancs?

What happened with Blanc de Blancs?

Wakefield is apparently releasing a beer over Labor Day weekend called "Blanc de Blancs", which is a name already used for a Side Project beer. This was pointed out on the Wakefield event Facebook page:



For those without Farcebook:

What happened with Blanc de Blancs?

Seems like nothing came of it, beer was released to somewhat positive reviews. I think it was overshadowed by the Cafe release that happened simultaneously

 

[Heatwaves1]

No way this chick tried any of the OG beers. Think we've drainpoured 3 now.

Don't drainpour them! They're worth at least $50 each!!!

 

[Beer4B]

Don't drainpour them without video! They're worth at least 50 likes on IG and possibly a rant if you tag Fakefield!

FTFY

Wakefield is now distributing to South Carolina. Not sure what we're going to get, but there's a launch event next Friday in Charleston that JWB is going to be at. I'd probably check it out but I'll be on my way to Chicago for a much better event instead.

A Wakefield release, in 3 acts.

Damn, how did they come up with those beers? It's like they analyzed a bunch of trading data from 2016 to ensure maximum shitlord appeal.

So what were the negative complaints and comments about? And why is the instagram account private?

Anyone going to WAKEFEST?

Yes. I know we mostly stick to **** talking in this thread, but the tap list is guaranteed to be better than all the other beer festivals in south florida. Also they finally started selling tickets with no bottles and lowered the convenience fees so I bought one

Did the exact same thing...considered the 1 bottle option, but after seeing the price jump from $75 to $94.50 w the fees, couldn't justify it. $58 after fees for no bottle option is a good deal, IMO.

What time are people planning on showing up for the DFPF release, and will there be any beer sharing while waiting, or is that a no no down there?

That area is basically open container. There hasn't been a need to show up very early at any of the releases since the first couple BA stout releases, but people do it anyway and sharing happens

Also the GA ticket is printable from my email but I didn't want to ruin the joke earlier...

I can't be the only one who gets significantly more excited than anything else on this site to see '<User name> replied to the thread J. Wakefield Brewing' alert pop up after a period of dormancy.

I forgot this was a "functioning" brewery. Glad to see the status quo hasn't changed

Looks like they're taking all their good beer to RateBeer and not WakeFest.

This is probably a stupid question, but I've never been there, so forgive me: Will DFPF sell out the day of the release, or do bottles typically stick around for a few days?

It will sell out. They don't want leaky bottles on premise so they cut back on production to make sure they are all gone by the end of the day. Last time they had to spend a bunch of money on wax to fix the problem, probably put them in the red.

The cut backs don't stop there. It's more of a guiding principal of the company. For example, they only bring a minuscule amount of beer to festivals like Shelton Fest so they can appear to "run out" early and Wakey can feign popularity and go get hammered.

 

[DannyFullpint]

Wakey abwbahahahaha

Am I the only salty OG who is now watching legitimate bottles being released by JWB and thinking what could have been? I thought I had purged all memories of being an OG following the debacle that the membership actually was, but seeing him release bottles that are hard to get and extremely well received has me relapsing worse than Charlie Sheen.
