The way I read it is there won't be set timed releases, in year's past they'd give you specific times if I remember correctly, and then the lines would get insane leading up to those times. I think, and I could be wrong, but It appears the tappings will be at random and announced as they occur via the app.

This thread is the gift that keeps on giving. If someone wears a shirt with the following slogan and gets a picture with JW I'll send you free beer:
JWakefield, just another cum stain on the casting couch of the beer world.

People complain enough about the current shirts as it is
Yeah but only because it's awful.

My only complaint is the shirts aren't rude enough. I passed on the batch 1 OG shirt (which I kind-of regret) because you censored the swearing for some wimpy talk. "Nobody Gives A **** What Brewery You Have Been To" was so, so perfect.

Whew, I made it! Now, to be fair, I was only reading every fifth page up until about 110, at which point things became more temporally relevant.
Let me start by saying, thank you Grumpy; thank you.
At the same time, he went over to talk to the only other patron at the bar, and was explaining how they hold stuff back so that they can maintain hype around their beers. Not that this is at all surprising in view of this delight of a thread, but I found it amusing. Sent this message, verbatim, to a friend: "Homies at JWB straight admitting they hold back stuff so that it doesn't lose its allure. Classic."
I guess in the end, it sucks to be on the receiving end of a business owner who thinks there is nothing wrong with delivering the bare minimum to the people who helped them off the ground. While at the same time making better stuff available to the public (or the same stuff, for far less money). And doing literally the bare minimum ("I filled my friends growler last night from my kegerator at home, and he's an OG, therefore I have provided one of the promised surprises") to avoid actually being a liar (fwiw, I still think he lied to us, not that it means much at this point).
But it's not all doom and gloom. In fact, I've now paid $50/bottle for a Berliner (I never got my glass and the shirt is worthless, so... $50), something I literally never thought I would be able to claim. Prior to this, I would have scoffed at paying that same $50 for Fou' Foune. But now -- and this is thanks to you JW! -- I understand that paying $150 for Fou' is totally reasonable. And that $750 for 12oz. of flyover adjunct stout is actually a bargain. In short, without JWB's guidance, I would not have undergone this metamorphosis to newmoney shitlord, and could not be happier.
THANKS JWB.

This is exactly what I was telling my friend who split the membership with me. But then he had to move to CA for work, and suggested I buy him out because it would be simpler than figuring out how/when to split the beers. Little did I know, we had all the time in the world to sort out those minor details. To this day, he still mocks me for my stupidity
This exact thing happened to me in early June. I was visiting the Keys with my fiancee's family, and she and I stopped in on the way back to the airport. While I was able to get a second leaky bottle of DFPF, I was told in no uncertain terms that OGs do not get discounts at the tasting room. I tried to mention that I was pretty sure that I remembered something along these lines... "trust me" and the bartender walking away was what I got.

See above, it's a ploy! (I know, we all know at this point, we all know)

Why aren't those hats $50?
Just when you thought Wakefield was finished, he comes through we these awesome caps!
These stylish foam hats come complete with the straightened bill, huge contrasting sticker, and the standard Miami hot pink. Make sure everyone knows you are 100% Miami!
20 dollars a hat or trade in OG bottles of DFPF for a 10 dollar credit! (Credit does not apply if cap is leaking.)

Is it a bottle release or just a draft pour when you finish?Boot camp during a bottle release... This will definitely go well.
DFPF bottle release starts at noon, right after the workout. Maybe the workout will include things like "overhead press a neckbeard" and "beer nerd toss".

Would be funny if a brewery tied a bottle release to some sort of athletic competition. Instead of standing in line or buying a ticket online, in order to purchase a bottle a person has to complete some obstacle course. The more times you complete it, the more bottles you have the right to purchase (or maybe tie the number of bottles to the time it takes to complete it). I can already see the mule ISOs on the bulletin boards at local gyms.Boot camp during a bottle release... This will definitely go well.

Maybe my size M shirt would finally play in my favor...
Liability. Can't have dead beer geeks laying all over the place.

Best idea ever. For added difficulty, you are required to buy a pour between attempts at the course.
Then the next day the bottle is half price and no limit to-go at the bar. I think I'm finally ready to open a brewery thanks to this thread.

And if you wanted to get really dark about it, the secondary value of the beer would inevitably get tied to how dangerous the athletic endeavor was / how many neckbeards got carted off in ambulances (mostly because of their lack of fitness).

At this point, why would anyone actually drink any of the last two OG bottles? He has made up some narrative in his head where OGs are the ******** for this going wrong. He seems petty enough that I wouldn't be surprised at all if you are drinking piss, literally. You would literally have to pay me to drink any thing intended for OGs past Miami Madness and I wouldn't feel good about that one.
Find someone with a BA acct, trade this ****, never ever say anything good about this guy again or drink any of his **** and move on with life, profit.
