Will TX see Avery's Uncle Jacob's Stout?

I'm sure we will have the arbitrary 2 month delay we always enjoy here in Texas...it will hit sooner or later, probably later.

 

From their facebook page:

Avery Brewing Company Hey all! We can only guarantee availability of a bottle (or 12) on the release day here at the Avery Tap Room, and will do our best to get some out there.

 

I would be very surprised to see uncle jacobs stout in Texas... though i said that about rumpkin. However, unless Im mistaken, Uncle Jacobs is a smaller bottle count than rumpkin..... I guess we'll see

 

A lot of the questions before that reply were if it was making it's way to other states. One of them being TX...

 

It's funny that this thread came up because I just sent Avery an email about it this morning. The label says the same case count as rumpkin(512 cases).

 

funny thing is i bought rumpkin just a few weeks ago here in austin. i guess the shop is under the radar

 

In for Return email answer from Avery.

 

opps! For some reason I thought rumpkin was more.

 

How does Uncle Jacob compare to Mephistopheles?

 

The label actually says 694 cases and it's friggin' delicious. It's on shelves here, but 1 bottle limit everywhere I've seen.

 

Hello. They have 70 cases or so ready to ship to Texas as soon as the label gets approved. I got this from the horse's mouth, aka an Avery rep.

On a somewhat similar subject, have you guys noticed Out of Bounds Stout is really the only beer that has never made it down here? At least I've never seen it here in Dallas. I am not counting the small batches of Barrel Aged Series or one offs like the Ale To The President, but Out Of Bounds Stout is a yearly beer, and it's basically the only beer in their portfolio that is not sold here. My guess is that the label never got approved by TABC before, and it just has to be resubmitted now.

 

Here's the response I got back

"We do have some Uncle Jacob's slated to roll to TX, but we haven't heard back from the state as to whether or not it'll be approved in the state. I'd expect we'll hear back in the next few weeks and have the beer out there in about a month."

 

They said the samething when I hit'em up on Facebook.

 

This was approved in Texas on 4/20/12, should hit shelves in the next couple of weeks, 12oz bottles.

 

Signing on this thread to get updates as it rolls out. Looks like a perfect bottle to store with the Demon series

 

Yes!

I can't seem to age any of the Demon series. No matter how many bottles I get I drink'em fresh. Soooo goooood!

 

Per Facebook answer - Hey Michael! We'll be sending 70 cases of Uncle Jacob's to TX in the next couple of weeks to our distributor Ben E. Keith. You can contact them to see where Uncle Jacob will be in Houston. Cheers! http://www.benekeith.com/beverage/contact
