J. Wakefield Brewing to Release DFPF on Saturday

J. Wakefield Brewing will be releasing its most-anticipated beer of the year, DFPF Florida Weisse Sour Ale (6% ABV). DFPF is an acronym for Dragon Fruit Passion Fruit, the two key flavor elements in the beer. This is the fifth-annual batch of JWB’s signature beer, which is currently rated the #1 Berliner Weisse in the world by Ratebeer.com. An estimated five hundred people lined up the night before last year’s release, dubbed DFPF Day.

The date of the annual release of DFPF is dependent on the peak of season for each of the two fruits. Over 1,500 pounds of fruit were used in this year’s brewing process. Price per 750ml bottle will be $20. Limit is two bottles.

The following four beers will also be released on DFPF Day:
