    Anyone seen Boxers, Funk Metal or RU-55 in the DFW area? I am headed down that way from OK in a week or two and was hoping to find a few bottles. Thanks!

    It's been a couple months or so but Specs in Dallas had several cases of Boxers. If I were you I would make some calls around to Hall's, Central Market, Specs and Total Wine. See if there is any in stock.

    The new, 3rd batch of Boxer's is about to be released. They were selling bottles at the JK Anniversary party this weekend, so the TABC approval is done, and it should be coming to market soon. I hear its the best of the 3 batches (I bought 2, but havent tried it yet)

    Any idea when Specs downtown is getting RU-55?

    Boxers?

    I had batch 2 a couple months ago. Tasted great and tons of carb. No issues, I'm still sitting on 2 more bottles.

    Whole Foods around here had plenty of Funk a week or two ago. I haven't seen Boxer's for a long while and I don't believe we've gotten RU-55 yet.

    Ru has come and gone already in dfw. I grabbed 1 last week, or was it 2 weeks ago now?

    I really hope this isn't the case. I need to pick up 3 more bottles. I'm going to scout Fort Worth for them at lunch and ill let everyone know.

    I think there's still stores who haven't received in the city of Dallas and East. Let me know if you have problems finding it.

    RU-55 is now my favorite sour from JK. And to whomever mentioned the smaller caps on RU-55 bottles, I believe you are right. Did a size comparision the other day. If anyone missed out on funk metal or Uberkind, I'd gladly trade for some RU-55

    Go to the brand new Spec's in Fort Worth, the new Megastore, they had RU-55 on the shelf on Saturday, and plenty of it.

    I actually just swung by the Spec's closer to campus and they had 3 on the shelf and more in the back.

    Damn you Seth! You made me panic :wink:

    New batch of Boxer's is great. Good carbonation and tastes fantastic. Looks like the ABV jumped up a little bit too

    Has Jeff mentioned the batch size of RU-55 yet? I've only been able to find one bottle in Austin so far and I really must find more.
