    My comments were not to say anything bad about JK. I think they were our states first truly progressive brewery and have made Texas' brewers realize that they can think outside the box. I applaud this as it has lead to a new era in craft beer in the state.

    All of the hard work fighting "the man" is awesome and much appreciated.

    Does anyone know if JK has plans of 6 or 4 packs at anytime in the future? I checked the website but didn't see anything. 4 packs would be AWESOME!!!!!!

    Any idea on when we'll see funk metal or das uberkind? And how much there will be on the first batch?

    They'd probably have to invest in bottling/canning line equipment.

    I think this might be good though as it'd potentially lower the price points of their year round beers.

    Jeff,

    I think it's cool you are on these message boards reading what other say about your beer. I'll be honest, I haven't had any JK beers, but I think it's awesome that you guys post in the forums. Where are the folks from Real Ale :-(

    PS: I did buy a bottle of Whiskey Rodeo, so that will be my first Jester King experience.

    Buy a bottle of Weasel Rodeo. It's always cool to try a base beer before the barrel aged version. :wink:

    I had $20 to spend and I didn't want to miss out of Whiskey since there were only 5 bottles left.

    Well, don't think they bottle the base beer, which would be the Oatmeal Stout. The Weasel and Whiskey have different types of coffee in them. Weasel having no "weasel coffee" and whiskey having it.

    Im not sure about that for the Weasel Rodeo says on the label brewed with "Kopi Luwak" which is "weasel coffee", hence the name Weasel Rodeo.

    If you go to Jester Kings website, they explain that there was a mix up because they don't read Vietnamese ;-)

    You will love the Whiskey. It's simply outstanding.

    I just finished a bottle of Weasel. Very very little carb...had a cask feel to it. Beer Geek was the most chili forward, Weasel lead with the coffee flavor, and Whiskey was well whiskey excellence. If you only had the chance for 1, you chose the best.

    hmm this is the first I have herd about this, and a lil disappointing to say the least. Not for the fact that Weasel Rodeo didnt actually have any kopi luwak/weasel coffee in it, but for the fact that it didnt have any weasel coffee in it even though the label says it does. (JK better release a second batch quick!)

    Strike 2 on Weasel Rodeo!

    Beer Geek Rodeo = vietnamese coffee
    Weasel Rodeo = real weasel coffee
    Whiskey Rodeo = A mix of real weasel coffe and other vietnamese coffee

    Per labels on the website.

    The blog post was before they figured how they were going to rename the series due to the coffee differences.
