Wynwood posted a picture of some bottle labels with a promise that La Rubia and Pop’s Porter will be in bottles before the end of the month (August). Earlier this week, co-founder Pops Brignoni posted a picture of brewery staff bottling. It looks like Wynwood is well on their way to accomplishing this goal.

J. Wakefield Brewing to soft open this weekend

It has been a long time in coming with several teases along the way, but after a successful CrowdBrewed campaign, several months of waiting, and a mural or two, J. Wakefield Brewery announced their soft opening.

Miami’s newest craft brewery will soft open this weekend, alongside another highly anticipated South Florida craft brewery.

From J. Wakefield Brewing’s Facebook page:

We are planning on doing a soft opening of the tasting room this Friday and Saturday. We will give you more information about the hours and such by no later than Wednesday. We will have our 4 flag ship beers on draft Hop for Teacher, UJP, Stush (Straight Berliner), and El Jefe on draft as well as a number of special treatment beers.

J. Wakefield Brewing is located at 120 Northwest 24th Street in the Wynwood area of Miami.

Wakefield Brewing is listed as a ‘Bucket-List Brewery’

When blog FirstWeFeast posted their list of twelve breweries to see before death, there were few surprises at the top: Ale Apothecary in Bend, Oregon; Brasserie Cantillon in Brussels, Belgium; Rodenbach in Roeselare, Belgium; but the only brewery mentioned in the southeastern United States is one that is not open yet in south Florida.

Miami’s up-and-coming craft brewery, J. Wakefield Brewing Company, has been gaining momentum to opening day. The lauded former homebrewer has been keeping the public posted along the way so they can both get the news and keep abreast of developments. Anticipation for Wakefield’s opening is reaching higher pitches all the time, especially after Wakefield beers were poured at the inaugural, nationally-attended What The Funk? Event in Denver, Colorado.

According to the blog, Wakefield’s beers “ran the gamut from juicy IPAs, to heavy-hitting barrel-aged stouts. Jonathan plans to feature fruit-flavored sours as well.” Apparently the same beers that put Wakefield on the map are continuing to garner him praise while anticipation continues to build for that time in the future when Wakefield’s tasting room is open.
