Jester King bottles

Any word on HEBs?

 

Stopped by and grabbed one yesterday. Sorry I didn't post up in time. Hopefully you were able to grab one. And no, Im just on here.

 

HEB Montrose Market just got one case in... no bottle limit either... seriously

 

Sounds like D&Q, Central Market, and HEB Montrose are all sold out...

 

With the rumor of only getting 10 cases in Houston, it's no surprise all is gone.

 

There was a full case on the shelf at HEB on Buffalo Speedway @ 59. Nine bottles left as of 3pm.

 

some bottles still left at flag mart in austin, 4 or so at noon.

 

Bravo JK! Just tried the Boxers Revenge and had a hard time believing I was drinking a beer brewed in TX. I was pleasantly surprised by the tartness of this beer, just right. Although I enjoy "fruited" wild ales, lambics, etc it's nice and refreshing to have a sour/wild ale WITHOUT fruit. Beautiful beer

 

Just got my 2 bottles @ Alon Market for $15.99 but appear to be sold out. Worth a try bc they were stocking when I left.

 

sorry but sour bm just sounds like shit to me.

 

Is Beer Geek Rodeo no bueno or something? Haven't heard much chatter about it and obviously I've yet to try it...

 

I didn't like it at all when I tried it. Neither did the couple people I was with.

 

I enjoyed it.

 

I really enjoyed the sour black metal. Kind of a headfuck. From the dark appearance you just don't expect the tart crispness of it. Like when you drink craft beer from a can the first few times and you keep thinking it should taste like some Budweiser BS.

The rodeo is really tasty.

It's a bummer that the boxers revenge is pricey and limited because I just can't get enough. I feel like I did some serious damage last night and the first thing I want this morning is another sour.

 

I think Sour BM is pretty damn good but I just don't know where the roastiness went. If you drank it blindfolded you would never guess that it was a dark beer. I like Jolly Pumpkin Madrugada Obscura as a better Sour Stout, but Sour Black Metal is good and I will be happy to buy some bottles when it comes out.

BGR is also no slouch. The peppers are very well integrated, but the coffee could be a little more present. I will buy it in bottles with no hesitation.

Also with Boxer's Revenge, I thought the carbonation was a little low. I have an extra bottle that I plan on sitting on for at least another 6 months to see how it develops. Overall an awesome beer and I am glad to have a great sour brewed in TX. My only complaint is where is the whiskey taste from the whiskey barrels?

I realize all my comments sound like am complaining, but I love Jester King and only wish them the best of success!

 

I think BR is the best sour to ever come out of this state, save for some of the things that come from Real Ale's Mysterium Verum program. Mine was low on carb. too, but since JK stopped force-carbing their beers, I guess ill sit on the others I have for 6-9 months and then try them again.

I didnt think they could top DW, but they did, IMO. BR is an absolutely outstanding beer.

 

I think you were talking to me. I don't believe I said more Das Wunderkind! by mid-May. If I did, I misspoke. In the interest of not making promises that go unkept, let me just say that right now we are on schedule to release new batches of Das Wunderkind!, Boxer's Revenge and sour Black Metal (which is just a working title at this point) this year. A major goal of ours is to have these beers, as well as other beers from our barrel room, become year-round beers always available on the shelves of select bottle shops in Texas. Our expansion projects are designed around increasing the size of our barrel cellar rather than attempting to install more and more stainless tanks towering progressively taller.

Beer Geek Rodeo is bottle conditioned and just awaiting TABC label approval at this point. As soon as we get approval, we'll move that beer out to market as fast as we can.
