Jester King Del Rey

It's not that far away. Select Drie could be here this year.

 

Jester King,

I just want to say I appreciate all you bring to the TX brewing scene. The atmosphere at the brewery is extraordinary as are all the beers. All the folks that work there treat us with respect and are more than accommodating. It always amazes me when people bust your balls about stuff, because I just don't believe it's warranted or deserved. Even when that happens, you always take the high road and maintain the utmost decorum with your responses. So, thanks for setting up shop in Austin and much good luck in the future. Hope to get up there again sometime next month.

 

ISO... for the label art! Dig that Lovecraftian vibe babies!

 

The heap of praise and the seeming love affair for Jester King on this board is almost never ending. Outside of a few butt hurt people that don't get what they think they deserve (and maybe some sarcasm), I don't see what kind of stuff you are talking about.

 

They are the least criticized and most talked about beer on the Southwest forums.

Yet, I see no one coming on and apologizing to Prairie for some of the things people say. I also find his comment odd.

The main thing that has irritated me about people on here and JK are just assuming they can do bottle shares there. They are nice enough to let a rare one go on, but do not assume you can. And they are very responsive to any question you ask them.

 

And they charge $16 for a 500mL bottle! SIXTEEN WHOLE DOLLARS!

 

$16, and no wax on the bottles. What the hell. Rip-off.

 

Dude, pssst, you can sell the bottlecaps on ebay for $8

 

Just looked this up and confirmed. WTF IM SITTING ON A GOLD MINE!!!!!

 

Just drank this last night and loved it! Great mouthfeel and one of the more original tastes in a beer that I've had in a long time. I hope to track down some more bottles, but have a feeling they might not be sitting around for that long....

 

Do you guys happen to know when and where in the USA this will be distributed? I'm up in New England for the next week and a half or so and I know I've seen Fantome here before. If it happens to get released within the next week or so, that would be some great luck.

 

I always assumed we could bring bottles and I have just about every time over the last 2 years. Well dang. I will not now. (I mean I always buy 2-300 worth of beer when i go most of the time as well). My apologies to Jeff and Ron. I will no longer do this practice.

 

No apology necessary.

 

I don't know yet. I'd recommend contacting Shelton Bros. http://www.sheltonbrothers.com/contact/

I guess if I wanted to know what the beer tasted like in more detail I should've just asked. You guys are always very responsive and I've always had good experiences at the brewery and with all of your beers. I don't wanna know your secrets, I'm just a curious beer drinker that is always interested in new and exciting beers. That's why I make the trip to Fitzhugh rd just about every month if not more often. Keep doing your thing, and your efforts in changing the TX beer laws are appreciated. Now, about that guava wytchmaker...
