Jolly Pumpkin to Texas

Just had the Biere de Mars. Way above average.

 

Exceptional beer and definitely the best out of the readily available stuff. Can't believe this just sits on shelves in some parts of the country.

The Biere de Mars Grand Reserve last year was absurdly good too and I hope some of those releases end up down here.

 

Just bought a bottle of that today. Love the label!

 

Yep. Just drank the whole bottle. Awesome beer and I don't mind the $12 price tag at all!

 

They make a bunch of great beers but nothing off the charts. I know @jesterkingbeer is being humble towards a brewery that paved the way they followed and one that deserves all the respect, but JK is on another level currently. I'm sure the the Jolly Pumpkin folks are the first to raise a glass to the success of @jesterkingbeer and that's the spirit of craft beer I love.

Frankly, I'd rather drink a Jolly Pumpkin beer than at least 3/4 of what's on the shelves currently. Great addition to the TX market that was unforeseen only a few years ago.

 

Surprised by some of the lukewarm comments. I think Oro de Calabaza is incredible.

 

I'd say Jester King is killing the fruited sours. But I wouldn't say their other beers are better or worse than Jolly Pumpkin. And it's a lot easier to buy JP at the store.
