    Picked up another Boxer's at CM Westgate. I'll stop now, I swear. I just see that horse and hear "*WHINNY* Put me in your cellar Rob, I'll be sooo good in a couple months"

    My girlfriend is strangely hoarding the Drinkin' in the Sunbelt. Never seen her do that before. Claims "OMG, FAVORATE BIER EVAR!". Sitting on 6 bottles now. Hoarder. I'm not a fan myself, but whatever floats her boat!

    Hopefully, we'll get a release date for Bonnie, Weasel, Whiskey, and Das batch 2 soon. In the meantime, Spec's Dallas still has a little Boxer's and a little Drink'in left. Total Wine& More has not received either Boxer's or Drink'in.

    If anyone is still looking for Drinkin'... Whole Foods Downtown in Austin had AT LEAST 4 cases on the floor yesterday. They literally had it in the walk-in cooler, on the table outside, and in boxes outside the cooler.

    No Boxer's though! :slight_smile:

    Wow to see that Bonnie is bottle conditioned for a year though. I've never heard of a brewery in the US aging beer for a year before putting it on shelves. Especially at 3.7% ABV.

    Easy to see the difference between JK and SA's DR12 on this one.

    As a fan of JK artwork in general, Bonnie is my favorite so far...just f-ing cool IMO. Although I wish they still added the second, neck label though

    Woohoo! More pain for my wallet, but deliciousness for my taste buds. Can't wait to try Bonnie the Rare. I'll be on the lookout for it.

    I'm going to be in Houston this weekend, any news on liquor stores that have gotten Bonnie the Rare?

    Just saw that Whip In in Austin has it for sale, so I was wondering if anywhere else had received any.

    They always get JK stuff first, because they get direct delivery. Should be hitting other places within a few days, then

    What's the price at Whip In? I'm guessing $12.99 or in-line with Boxer's and Das. $12.99 seems to be the sweet point for their sours. Har har har.

    I would think that over a year bottle conditioning would probably make it more expensive

    My local beer store guy who only got a case or two of Boxers Revenge was telling me yesterday that he aught to be getting quite a bit more of Bonnie the Rare in the next week or so. So that makes me think that there will be more Bonnie to Rare to go around than Boxers Revenge. But who knows...

    Does anyone know the bottle counts released on some of the more limited Jester King beers?

    Additional cases of Boxers and Drinkin hitting Fort Worth, along with Black butte, Positive Contact, Thembroma, and 7/18 Endeavours. No Bonnie this week. Plenty of Flanders Fred still
