    Not only are we thrilled to be serving 2017 Zwanze this year (30L), but we’ll also have five other Cantillion beers on draught:

    Classic Gueuze (20L)
    Cuvee Saint-Gilloise(20L)
    Saint Lamvinus (20L)
    Vigeronne (20L)
    Nath (20L)

    Zwanze Day will run from Noon to 7pm at Jester King. Tickets to Zwanze Day will be $45 and include:

    Admission
    A Cantillon / Jester King Zwanze Day glass
    One 4oz. pour of 2017 Zwanze (Tapped worldwide at 2pm central)
    Four 4oz. pours of Cantillion beer besides 2017 Zwanze (which four pours you get depends on how long the various kegs last)

    Zwanze Day will happen at Jester King during our regular tasting room hours. We’ll have a special area with a tent for Zwanze Day ticket holders. We’ll permit a bottle share once again this year for ticket holders only, and we expect everyone to be respectful of their peers and surroundings. We pride ourselves on Jester King being a relaxed, laid back setting, and we do not wish to see a bottle share interfere with this.

    Who all got tickets? Curious what the bottle share has been like. Any input is appreciated.

    I got an e-mail saying that if I had got a ticket, I would have gotten another email...

    I got a ticket. Need to figure out tonight if I can actually go. First time winning one of their lotteries. Will be first time trying anything from Cantillon as well, assuming I make it.

    I'll be driving down from OKC since I got a ticket. I'm hoping to open some good stuff with great strangers. I'll also be bringing a bunch of fresh hops from Roughtail.

    Wow, you're in for a treat.

    Sounds great, should arrange a little BA meetup.

    Man I don't have a ticket but would drive over just for some more Everything Rhymes with Orange. Just drank my last can. I have my son seeing if some of his friends can start bringing it down from Dallas since my daughter is no longer in Tulsa

    Does the bottle share happen for the duration of the event or is it a "before the event starts" thing?

    @mig100

    That could be fun. I was thinking of bringing a bottle of LPG or something like that.

    @donspublic

    Good to hear you them! I'll have some cans of Simcoe fresh hop with me too. That's if we end up getting everything packaged on time this week.

    Share the love, let ATX see what Roughtail has been cranking out lately. Hopefully it will be down in ATX and HTX within the year

    In previous years the bottle share went on for the entirety of the event (within the ticketed area). I am guessing that it will be the same this year.

    Thanks. Makes sense, because all the kegs will kick really quickly/early I'm sure.

    I'll be in Austin this weekend. DIdn't sign up for Zwanze as I'll be staying with family and what would be the chance of three people all winning the lottery.

    That said. I do want to visit JK, should I avoid Saturday and just come Sunday for a smaller crowd? Thanks!

    Zwanze is during normal tasting room hours in a separate area. So you can still go with your family, and would have just been getting pours of the Cantillon beers in a different location.

    Amazing Zwanze all around, the SP bottles were a nice touch!
