Ya pretty crazy that even O&P is now selling out in (basically) one day. Long gone are the days of these lasting multiple weekends....
Interested to see how fast Nocturn sells this year...

We famously called it "Nocturd" last year because it literally lasted 6 weekends or something. That had a ~6000 bottle count tho, iirc.
 
Bdbdbd lasted forever too. Even had a no limit black Friday. I think first fruit release in a while + a beer that wasn't available last year fed the hype.
 
I wanted to buy a number of le Petit Prince for July 4th when in Austin today and completely struck out. When did shelf JK's become rare? I went to Lamar Whole Foods, S. Lamar and N. Lamar Central Markets, Spec's Brodie, then called Whip In and Sunrise Mini-Mart before heading over, and they were all out. East 1st Grocery had one bottle, but I was on the other side of town and basically said screw it already. Crap!

I can't speak for those other places, but at Spec's we haven't received any JK bottles (outside of Fantome Del Rey) in a while. I don't even think Petite Prince was on the to go menu at JK this weekend though.

Havent seen Prince or even noble king/wunderkind in a while. Used to be all over in SA.

Since 250 people a day are moving here.


....Sorry guys! My bad! ;)
 
I can point you to a Specs in DFW that has plentiful amounts... Don't think that would help much though.

This has to do with working with our mixed culture for fermentation. We don't brew beers like Le Petit Prince, Noble King, etc. in the cooler months of the year (November to March), because our mixed culture tends not to produce the flavors and aromas we want. We brew these beers from about April to October when we can ramp fermentation temperatures up into the 80s and 90s. This is one reason why we consider our beers to be linked to both a place and a time.

Beers like Wytchmaker, Le Petit Prince, Snorkel, etc. have been brewed over the last few months and aren't too far from release. For instance, Flood Independent Distribution is picking up Wytchmaker this week.
 
If you're looking for Petit Prince bottles, PM me. I've got a place in North Austin. ;)

Miss the days of $2.50 Petit Prince pints at Draught House on Sundays. Days gone by...

Hey Jeff, on this note, what temperature do you typically aim for when doing the Fruited releases? Curious about Uberkind as well as the fruit refermentations.
 
How bad do you guys think tomorrow is going to be with the Wicked Weed release? Curious to see if I need to get there early or just when they open. Thanks
 
Atrial yield is about 4,500 bottles. Might be 2 pp at $20

MvB yield is about the same as Atrial
