    Just heard word that they will be shipping to Ann Arbor and Detroit area next week because of a delivery coming late from Shelton. I bet most of the rest of the state will see it this week.

    Will it be regular distro or how Chicago sees it? We get distro but its only to certain stores and at random (not weekly).

    I found the 750 ml bottles to be meh. I guess I'm not sure which JK beer everyone is excited for???

    I liked both Figlet and Das Wunderkind!. Biere De Miel was pretty great too.

    Exactly a week ago the bottles mentioned above (Jester King & Holy Mountain) hit distro in Grand Rapids/Wyoming.

    I found La Petit Prince rather uninspired for $11/750ml. For a buck less I'd rather have Prairie Vous Francais.

    There are plenty of good 750 Jester King bottles, although I'm not a particularly big fan of any of the "shelfies" except for Biere de Miel and Le Petit Prince.

    But Encendia and Repose were pretty good.

    Wow, that seems like some retailer is taking advantage of the JK name. I bought a bottle of Prince last week and it was $7, which is a much more palatable price point for a 750 bottle of table (i.e., 3% abv) beer.

    Indeed, it would have been much more enjoyable for $7/750ml. It appears that the cost of bringing JK bottles over to west MI results in a significant markup?

    The amount of beer in Michigan now makes my head spin. Went in the shop today and there were so many choices it's overwhelming if you're simply browsing. Passed on JK, doesn't sound like anything earth shattering anyways. Speedway Stout is no longer a novelty either. Happily walked out with a 6-pack or Great Lakes Octoberfest.

    Anybody in the Kazoo area find Jester King? The main bottle shop I go to hasn't heard or seen it.

    $7 bottles of JK sounds like a mistake, my cost is $9.77 per bottle from the distributor. Sounds like a costly mistake that could get someone in trouble.

    The Noble King is at the Beer Grotto in Ann Arbor. There are others too.
