Jester King Brewery - 3rd Annual Funk & Sour Fest

Agreed. They do a great job with responding to any/all questions and concerns. I try to run my own business this way too.

 

I third that. Their responsiveness and openness to feedback really entices me to buy their product even more.

 

This! Jeff kills it on here!

 

Jeff is a total beer geek.

 

Jeff is both beer geek and beer advocate he keeps the wants and needs of the rest of us when making decisions

 

He's not helping my want of this amazing beer!! Kidding, just eavesdropping on this thread and he's been great at answering questions and updating.

 

D'oh. I guess I don't have time to find a date for this thing, then. Some of us don't have SOs!

 

Maybe they could make everyone dip their finger in ink when they get their bottles, so no one gets more than they should. It'd be like voting in Iraq. Lol

 

Just curious, but will Black Metal be available, either draft or bottle for on site consumption? I didn't see it on the initial lineup...

 

You are messing up dude! That's the point of an SO!

 

No bro, you're doing the math all wrong. $32 for reg admission with tickets/glass then $64 for admission with bottles. So that's a $32 difference. Each bottle ideally would be $16 each if split evenly. So then you can deduct the tickets cost ($18) from the original $32 admission with tickets and glass. So that leaves you with $14. Then you would deduct the DD admission of $5 since that's the admission just to have your pretty face there even if you're not drinking. So the cost of the glass to be $9.

 

Sorry was just just trying to point out the math, wasn't trying to be a dick. I completely agree with you that it's not just $64 for two bottles. It's all about the experience and the good times. It's an awesome way to try some great beers that you may not have had or may not have the money to shell out to try for the cost of the bottle. I can't wait to attend my first Funk'n'Sour.

 

Looking forward to this. Drank a lot of Lonestar last night and my first thought waking up was about this.
I'm not looking forward to having to wait in line for Aurelian Lure, Nocturn Chrysalis, and Omniscience & Proselytism since I want to at least get a taste of each and I'm sure everybody else will. After that everything should be cool.

 

I saw your ISO. If you miss out this go around, I suggest you find a trade partner in Texas. In all likelihood these beers will be released again.

 

I think I've never seen more than 500 or 600 people at JK/Stanley's, I am curious what you have planned for serving stations? 1 or 2 bottle pickup places and 4 more tap/bottle stations outside or something? It's a great idea to have more stations for 1000 people.

I'd love to be a part of this. I'd volunteer a bottle of batch 1 if it's needed.

 

They will have multiple places pouring beer. At the anniversary party they only had one place to purchase bottles.

 

I know! I just haven't found a new one yet! I thought I had a couple of weeks to work on this, not a couple of days! Oh, first world beer problems...

 

The anniversary party had probably 6 places pouring beer at least. I never felt like I had to wait for beer all day.

 

Would anyone who is buying tickets at noon like to buy me a ticket? I can paypal you funds today, and will give you a bottle of some beer for your troubles. I was hoping to land a ticket with the bottle package, but I will be taking a midterm when the tickets go on sale. If you don't mind helping me out, send me a pm and we can talk. Thank you. I appreciate it guys.

 

Anyone else notice that the specs (ABV, FG, & pH) on Nocturn Chrysalis have all changed from the first email that was sent out on 9/26 to now? Not that this would be a problem of any sort, but purely out of curiosity, I wonder why?

Would have posted this in the Nocturn Chrysalis thread but it got closed as the topic turned to F&SF bottle allocations.
