You can hardly find them in Austin these days too, fwiw.

I emailed Jester King and got a reply quickly. Basically, they said with their brewing method and them now being a brew pub selling beer on site, the demand is outstripping the supply. They hope to kick up production, and Flood, their distributor, is supposed to clue me in on where to get what.

Sounds like Flood is going to start getting more pushed out the the DFW market. They have a warehouse here now, so we'll see. I got a bottle of Provenance: Orange & Grapefruit in Flower Mound yesterday, along with some Jully Pumpkin stuff, which is now in Texas.
Hard to argue with that!

They've come out with a beer called Snorkel. I think the description read, "Here's another beer you won't get in the DFW."

Yeah, sounds pretty odd...even for them!
I guess I'm sorta glad that I was never a big fan of any of their beers in the first place...
not a wild or sour guy.. in this case it saves me a lot of money and chasing... or driving to their brewery from Houston!
The one thing I did like about being able to find their sours in the past was they were easy to trade for other beers across the country.

Yea its a easy trader. I love sours and i make some my own. I dont go to Austin just for JK. I usually go if im in the area and go to other breweries too. I'm going to try to ignore them for their special releases if i have to hunt. If i come across i'll pick some up. Sours are expensive to buy and fun to make.

Love mushrooms, love JK beers, I'm sold. They mentioned that a second, larger batch was already in the works, so maybe that one will be more readily available.
It's the smoked sea salt that I'm not sold on. Not a big smoked beer fan, but not sure how much smoke would come through from the salt addition.
