Zwanze day 2014

"Really glad this will be here again this year! When is Funk N Sour Fest? @jesterkingbeer"

Also curious since I'll have to ask off in advance, I'm assuming Oct 25th or Nov 1st during Austin Beer Week, hopefully they can clarify.

 

Thanks. Funk n' Sour Fest this year will be during Austin Beer Week, and will be held in conjunction with our 4th anniversary party. We have a date in mind, but are working on the details.

As we mentioned in this blog post from December 2013, Funk n' Sour Fest will take on a different format and feel than before. Now that we can sell our beer and guest beer at our brewery, every weekend at Jester King is basically what Funk n' Sour Fest used to be. As a result, we're going to change the format to make it something out of the norm for us. Here's what we wrote back in December as far as our rationale for the change. Cheers.

At our tasting room, we’re now able to present a beer selection that equals, if not surpasses, what we’ve served at some of our larger events in the past. Prior to recent changes in Texas beer law, we’d only serve our most limited and sought after beers at our larger events. This was because it used to be illegal for us to sell these beers at our brewery. Texas law created an odd disincentive for us to offer our most limited beers on-site, which we could otherwise sell in the marketplace. That’s now no longer the case. We can legally offer everything we have ready at our brewery, along with guest beers, ciders, wines and sakés from some of our favorite artisan producers. The appeal of larger, special events being a time for visitors to drink our most limited beers isn’t there anymore because we now offer these beers whenever we’re open. As a result, we feel less pressure to host larger events, especially in the context of what we stated before about Jester King being a quiet, relaxed place to enjoy the Hill Country.

Yeah, I'm going to this. Can't wait to see what y'all come up with! Y'all never disappoint!

 

Is this really happening? In town from CA for the weekend and would love to bring some bottles to share.

 

Yes and it will be epic

 

A bottle share is allowed. I'll reserve some tables for it. We'll announce details for 2014 Zwanze Day at Jester King next week.

 

Thanks! I was just about to ask

 

I can't wait for this. I think bringing some Cantillon will be appropriate. Got a bottle of Iris and Vigneronne I'm wanting to open!

 

Great news! CA goodness coming your way.

 

Assuming tomorrow is the day that we will get some information on Zwanze day. There's no updating the website usually until Thursday or after.. which makes the week go by slow.

 

Has anyone heard anything new about this? Did I miss the signup completely?

 

We'll have details out no later than tomorrow.

 

Im...... Just sitting here refreshing the page....

 

Just sit tight at least until noon.

 

Timing this for release at the same time as Apple's big news.

 

Here are the details:
