Jester King sightings

Did they still have Boxer's at any point today? I went in this evening and I didn't see any on the shelves.

HEB Palm Valley definitely does still have some Boxer's, but at a significant markup from the Specs price.

 

I was in there on Tuesday, and they had a lot. Did you ask if they had any in the back? I've found that the Specs RR is good at not getting things out onto the shelves quickly, and half the time I need to have them get me things from the back. Its possible they sold out, since no one else seems to have it.

 

Any word on Specs Midtown yet?

 

Just to update this, I was just at Specs RR, and they still had at least 5 bottles of each on the shelves. Dont know if they have more than that, but I was told they got 5 cases of each, so its possible.

 

Dallas CM has Boxer's now. Still in cases near the beer/wine register, not on the shelf with the rest of the JK stuff. Didn't see any Drinkin though.

 

Finally got my Drink'in The Sunbelt. Specs SA still had 8 bottles & 4 of Boxers Revenge remaining. Good luck!

 

Just got back from CM Dallas, yep, Boxer's is on the floor. Got a couple bottles, pretty happy about that. No Drinkin' at CM Dallas, yet. Still neither one at Total Wine & More.

 

Specs Dallas has both, got a few bottles of boxers running around today

 

.

Total Wine doesn't seem to care much for their beer section.

 

I think it's mainly this Total Wine in particular. I've been to other Total Wine & More stores, and it's funny, one of the Total Wine stores in Tampa, FL, is smaller than the one off of Park Lane but the Tampa store has a vastly larger selection of beer. Mainly due to the labeling laws of TX I think, whereas FL does not have these laws. It could also be that the GM of this Total Wine just doesn't care about carry a good selection of beer. Who knows, they are disappointing me. I was excited when they opened because I've been to their other stores, and have been let down.

On another note, I was at CM Dallas this morning and they still have some Boxer's.

 

I'm plesantly surprised how much Boxers DFW seems to have received.

 

I'd like to hear some more opinions on the new Boxers. I still have 2 bottles of the 1st batch, so I havent bought any of batch #2 yet. How do they compare? Is the difference significant enough to merit me buying more than the 2 bottles I still have?

 

I think you sould buy more just because it's delicious and although there is more bottled this time it may be awhile until we see the next batch. Speaking of which, anyone have any idea if this will eventually be year round or how often it will be released?

 

It's hard to say at this point. I know that JK is working to expand their barrel-aging capacity so they can release sours and other BA beers in larger quantities. Not sure when the expansion will be finished or how effective it's going to be.

 

I was at Jester King today and during the tour Mr. Stuffings mentioned a bottle release of "Funk Metal" (Black Metal Sour). Hells to the yeahs.

He also explained that expanding their barrel aging capacity is at a much higher priority right now than expanding the 30bbl brewhouse.

 

Go back and read my post.... Dfw might have, but denton and tarrant got screwed big time.

 

In tarrant county maybe ft worth did but arlington was loaded. I got all but one of my boxers in Arlington, both places didn't have a bottle limit.
