Jester King near Dallas

The best bet is Lonestar Beverages. They just got Provenance orange and grapefruit yesterday. Jk is pretty much not distributing anymore. He may still find dad wunderkind, that's about it.

 

You are likely only going to find 1 JK beer around. JK rarely releases beers to distribution anymore and when they do, it is limited quantities that go quickly. They mostly only sell at the brewery. So, harder to find stuff will only be at JK.

 

to add, they have no brew schedules at all, and are very good at keeping releases quiet until a few days before

 

No, they do have a schedule. Release randomly great beer every weekend. Good enough schedule for me.

 

JK really does not make imperial stouts anymore.

 

Unless they're in Denmark

 

They have not really done imperial stouts since the beginning. They make Funk Metal which is about as dark as it gets for them.

They are just focused on more farmhouse/sours than BA stouts these days.

As someone who lives in Austin, I cannot complain about the brewery release only. But, that is for selfish reasons.

Part of the reason about no release schedule is they release things when they are ready. We will generally know about what is coming up before it is released for some of the bigger ones (Atrial/Nocturn). JK is pretty good on here about giving us a general timeframe (like saying sometime in the next couple of weeks). But, they also release a bunch of things most people had no idea they were about to release (Encendia, Detritivore, Bier de Miel, etc). In other words, usually on B1 of what could be one offs, we don't know. Other ones, we have a good idea.

 

For those of us who live nearby, it's a complete joy. It can be immensely frustrating for everyone else.

 

Very frustrating, I work in the Industry and have to plan a weekend off about a month in advance. How the hell am I supposed to know when to come now @jesterkingbeer, wheres the damn schedule!?!

 

Jester Kings labels (for the 750s) can be a bitch to remove.

 

Just take him to Strangeways and split a bottle of Boxer's Revenge or Ambree

 

You have it backwards, the friend in Dallas is going to visit OP in (presumably) MO.

If you just want some empty JK bottles for the labels, I'm going to head to DFW toward the end of the month, though I don't think I have an empty Funk or Black Metal currently.

 

Anyone have any luck as of late finding any JK? Have tried a few places in Dallas near my apartment with no luck (lonestar bevs and specs off inwood).. Any suggestions on where to find some?

 

Oh it's not too bad, long as you're willing to get in the car and drive to Austin.
