    I hit Saraveza on Sunday and they had three different beers from Jester King (Ambrée plus the 2014 and 2015 versions of Hibernal Dichotomous) in the cooler.

    When I was cashing out, the guy working (not Tyler) said that Jester King now had distribution in Oregon. But I haven't seen their beers anywhere else.

    Any know if this is true?

    I would highly doubt it. I haven't seen their bottles anywhere around town and usually when a new brewery starts distribution a couple of the well known bottle shops will have tap takeovers or other events. More than likely the JK bottles were leftovers from the Craft Beer Conference.

    This sounds most likely. I can't see a brewery like Jester King getting into a beer market like Oregon (and Portland in particular) without trying to make a big splash.

    Saraveza also had Jester King bottles for the Farmhouse Festival. They might be leftovers they hung onto.
