I like mwbbq's suggestions: more spots for different perks; 2nd edition of tickets for in person, or allocate a certain amount of tickets for in person sale. As far as the lottery system, I like it for convenience. But if I could drive out to JK and do it in person I'd do it without question.

I do wish that locals and long time supporters had some advantage but that makes me sound entitled. I'm 0/2 with Zwanze lotteries and I'd say stick with it, just make modifications.

I do like the idea of linking a credit card to the entry so there's no backing out. I'm sure that would limit the amount entries and people changing their mind. Hill Farmstead did that with one of their lottery bottle sales but I can't remember the company that was used.

That sucks. I am the opposite. I planned to go and now don't have a ticket. lol Hopefully JK will release something besides zwanze 2016.

Want to hang out? Ha. Friends got in and I didn't, thinking about still going.

I have this tickling in my balls that JK will release the Texas Goozie that weekend.

I hope not. I need that tejas goozie in my life and I'm out of the state that weekend.

I hope so. It would make sense, and they keep opening it at dinners. Really want to try this.

 

[SirDickButts]

I wish I could take a few bottles of Tejas Goozie with me to Crooked Stave this wknd.

I leave Wednesday, jeffstuffingsjk....

No, it won't be that weekend.

Have fun out there at Zwanze and the bottle share.

They get worse and worse every year.

Huge thanks to jeffstuffingsjk and the rest of the JK crew for an EXCELLENT Zwanze celebration. Line to check in moved a little slow (to be expected) but everything was incredibly well run. Pour lines moved fast (there was 0 line for Mamouche, fools!!!). Cheese pairings were amazing. Bottle share was great. Overall awesome event. Thanks guys!

Any other TBers going to Funk n Sour next week? I'm headed up from Houston and would love to meet some of y'all at the event!

I don't >think< I have any more left though.

Jester King Buddha's Brew Batch 2

We’re pleased to announce that this Friday, October 14th at 4pm, we’ll be releasing our second batch ever of Jester King Buddha’s Brew! Buddha’s Brew is our farmhouse ale blended and refermented with Classic Kombucha from Buddha’s Brew Kombucha in Austin, Texas.


Buddha’s Brew, which was first released in 2012, harkens back to the early origins of Jester King Brewery. Its first incarnation was a homebrew experiment where I tossed dregs from Buddha’s Brew Classic Kombucha into a batch of beer at bottling to see what would happen. After about a month of bottle conditioning, the beer had been fundamentally transformed by the microbes in the kombucha and became something entirely unto itself. This homebrew experiment provided the inspiration for Buddha’s Brew Batch 1.


This mentality and approach still strongly guides us to this day. We like to introduce a host of microorganisms that are beyond our knowledge and control into a beer, and then see what happens. Ultimately, after much time and patience, we use our palates to accept what we think is good, and reject what we think is bad. That’s probably the most distilled version of what we do.


We’re excited to have Buddha’s Brew back and for people to taste it again! We’d say the microorganisms in the “raw buch” definitely “took” during this go around. The beer tastes and smells remarkably different now that it has been blended and refermented with kombucha. Speaking of blending, Buddha’s Brew is 90% farmhouse ale and 10% kombucha. In a way, Buddha’s Brew can be looked at as a “culture swap” with our friends at Buddha’s Brew.


Speaking of Buddha’s Brew Kombucha, they’ll be at Jester King this Saturday afternoon to celebrate the release! They’ll be sampling their delicious Kombucha for our tasting room guests.


Buddha’s Brew will go on sale this Friday at 4pm at our tasting room. It will be available by the glass, as well as in bottles to go. We have about 4,000 bottles available with a limit of three per customer per day (750ml/$14). At this point, we do not foresee Buddha’s Brew being available outside our tasting room aside from special events.

Most importantly, it got even better with age.

 

[Der Fuchs]

IN. one of my all time favorites of theirs.

 

[wolfman1201]

Hey jeffstuffingsjk, would JK ever do a member society? Maybe include 1 or 2 bottles of each fruited sour and some special beers in the membership, allow for pickup at brewery without waiting in line, special events, etc...

 

[Lutter]

Now how about a Batch 2 release of Thrash Metal & Bonnie the Rare, jeffstuffingsjk & ElkSherpa?

 

[SirDickButts]

Brandon just popped the first batch of la vie in a unlabeled bottle. Man....it was banging.

Had a good time with you & Robb. Mamouche & the Zwanze were lit AF. I drank one pour of Fou "just because", and spent the rest of my beer tix on Mamouche

I'll be in town the weekend of October 28th if any of you Austin bae's wanna hang. Also, I need a couch to crash on. I'm mostly harmless. Except when I floss. For details, ask cyde

I don't want to say never, but it's not something we're considering right now and probably won't anytime soon. Sorry to disappoint.

Probably not for those two.

I'd buy just for a removable copy of the label.... And because good beer.



Dann, chick-chick, dann, Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-di-di-di-Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Really? None of you funkers are headed to JK Thursday night?

While I'm here, jeffstuffingsjk, what's the policy on bringing an extra bottle to share with friends while at Funk n Sour?
