    I pray that Labor Day weekend isn't the Spontaneous release. I have family coming to Dallas from Maine, Pittsburgh, and Houston. There's no way I can sneak out for 10 hours undetected.

    I thought they said the Spontaneous release was going to be a very large bottle count. Obviously, could be wrong, but I thought 10K bottles was mentioned.

    Yes, I believe that is correct. I guess we will have to wait and see how that release goes down.

    I don't have any info yet on Red Atrial release. No date has been set. Fortunately, it can come to Texas because Wicked Weed is licensed here. -- Jeff

    sorry if this is the wrong place for this or if this is addressed elsewhere. I believe I saw in a previous post that last year on Labor day there were different hours for JK, any chance thats the case this year? thanks!

    also sorry if I'm getting 1 week ahead of myself on these threads, thanks

    We'll be open on Labor Day from 12-7pm. Otherwise, we'll have normal weekend hours.

    In and out with bottles and a pour in 30 minutes. Very easy. This years Fen is really great too, maybe a little bit more tart than before, but not by much.

    @NDogg44 there were about 25-30 people in line when I got there around 430ish and then when I was leaving around 5ish there were maybe 40 or 50 people in line? I think you should be good on bottles tomorrow, maybe someone else can chime in. Not sure how busy it is right now

    Here now. Waited a couple of minutes for bottles, another couple of minutes for draft. Unless they have another pallet in the back, it looks like it will sell out in the next hour or so.

    Based on what I saw, this would be a big surprise... It was steady, but I didn't think it was at risk of selling out.

    Quick shout out to the guys waiting in line just to buy a bottle of Detritivore. Which is honestly about as good as the Fen Tao

    I actually like the Detritivore better, but I just like cherry sours better in general.

    If they have another pallet or two in the back, they won't sell out. If they don't, they're down to single digit cases.

    Just got my 2. They won't sell out tonight but they'll sell out by the time they open tomorrow with the pre opening line. Bout 6 cases left.

    It shows on their website that it's sold out. Not sure if that's correct or not, but I would imagine it's a pretty good indicator that it's gone.

    Yeah, I would imagine that means it's sold out. Oh well. There's always next year.
