Fen Tao B2

Pardon? Better source then being at the brewery?

Atrial was 1 per at 2500. This is 2 per at 5000. Might last until Sunday, might.

 

Nocturn Chrysalis (6000 bottles I think) was 3 per for the first weekend, 2 per for weekend 2, and 1 per for weekends 3 and 4, and IMO it's a better beer than Fen Tao. I'm hoping the Fen Tao release resembles the Nocturn one more than the Atrial one.

 

Yea, this is probably the most likely to happen. Syrah was 2700 1 per, and made it 5 days. Just remembering last year Fen Tao b1 release was crazy, and was their first release to sell out the first weekend.

 

[I don't see it selling out as fast as Atrial, but it won't last as long as Nocturn. My guess is sometime Saturday of the 2nd weekend after they go to 1pp bottle limits.[/QUOTE]

I'm with you on this one. I don't see 2500 people to showing up this weekend AND maximg their limits. Atrial was a completely different story

 

People love them stone fruits though

 

Hopefully the lines won't be long.

 

They shouldn't tonight. However, tomorrow I bet late afternoon it picks up and continues into Sunday early. I have a feeling there will be a lot of Freetail spillover.

 

That's what I thought about Atrial, but the line was pretty long on Friday night. Syrah was the quickest pick up ever. Less than ten seconds to get a bottle.

 

That probably will not be the only thing spilled

 

Atrial will always be the exception to the normal tendencies at Jester King.

 

Last years Fen Tao release was the other "exception to the norm". Keep in mind this bottle has connections to certain local communities, beyond just beer geeks. Austin Pride festival is Saturday, too. Gonna be packed.

 

Hype hype hype hype...



Its gonna be packed on friday. Lines all the way down fitzhugh... Pizza will kick at stanleys on friday night. 1 billion people expected for saturday. Heard there were already people camping out.

Gonna be nutz, like mad nutz. Any fen tao label ponchos for sale? Do u have xxxxl jester king limited trucker hats this weekend, jeff? Limited beer boots glassware plz. I need em cause i already dont have enough glassware that i rarely drink out of/ show off

 

would cop a JK x Make America Great Again trucker hat

 

4pm - about 40+ people in line, split into 2 lines. Cash line keepin' it moving. Ahhh Fridays

 

No lines and no crowds!!! The way a JK release should be. Ten is more tart with much more peach flavor. Love to see where it goes in 6 months. Komorebi is a bit sweet but if you like pears, you'll love this. Not a tripel guy and a full bottle of his would kick my arse...135 soaking wet.

 

Glad I got into town late and missed a 40 person line. It's been super chill. Loving this. El Cedro is tasting mighty fine atm.

 

Weather is fantastic, Fen Tao is better than I remember...

But... Could use a cash line at the non-release/merch tent line is 30 deep for the last half hour. Or something,

Fen Tao took 5 minutes with cash. Perfect.

 

@jesterkingbeer I noticed that the ABV was down 1.5% from 6.4 to 4.9. Was this due to blending or just dialing back the alcohol a bit?
