They ran through 4600 bottles in a day?!!! Plus 1000 bottles of O&P?!

Not surprised they ran out of O&P. Since they were selling those bottles at the same tent as Atrial basically everyone (myself included) bought at least one bottle along with their Atrial allocation.

$20/500ml damn!!! Well, good for them I guess, yeah capitalism!

 

[JGlitz87]

Any word if non Mag bottles will be around tomorrow?

I was planning on stopping in around 2 to grab bottles on the way home to Dallas from San Antonio. Trying to determine if there will any around.

 

[ckowalski]

1200 bottles left per their twitter

I think $65 was too low for the magnums; I would consider levying a shitlord tax.

Related note, I would definitely purchase a couple of the bigger labels from the mag. They're super neat. I don't suppose they were selling those?

They should have sold them for $250-300, that way they collect more of the money and not the flippers.

Someone on MBC is selling 1 mag and 1 regular bottle for $600.

 

[Lutter]

Still some bottles available today, but it will prolly sell out before close...

I saw the apology posts from JK...what the hell happened? Sounds like a normal ****** beer release to me.

AFAIK, I haven't heard of any other JK release where people were waiting on/near the property before the sun even came up.

 

[IndianaJones]

The people I heard tell me they got a magnum had one of two plans: sell it for profit ("I hear they're selling around $500!"), or flip it for whaelz

There was also the classic 60+ year old Austin resident TaskRabbit that asked the employees at the outside tent to take a photo of the magnum+her wristband for "the person that hired me." Can't imagine why someone would need a picture of that except to swing dick

I think the issue was with Saturday. On Friday night Jeff asked people not to come before dawn. Many people came well before that anyway (over 50, which was the amount of bottles they had) and so those that did come at dawn were then upset that they came early and that JK didn't enforce the policy. There is more detail to it all but that is the jist. Knowing Jester King they will work hard to make it a better experience next time. They always do when they try something new and it doesn't go as planned.

I got a magnum, it is sitting as a center piece on my kitchen table, will soon be moved to my father in laws wine cellar, and will later be opened for my birthday. Now you know 1 who is keeping it!

Nice, seems like a great bottle for special occasions, or to bring to a classy strip joint to max it rain raspberry juice

 

[Persdawg]

It looks like Twitter Jeremy Strawn from above was in the line...well outside of the top 50 at 6:51 AM...

WHY?

Task Rabbit requires a photo to prove that the person completed the task.

Not defending that person's actions by any means, but just wanted to point out that they weren't being quite as much of a shitlord as it seemed.

There was a guy from Task Rabbit out with us Friday morning. We had to explain Jester King and the beer and all that to him. He was a nice guy and he got tons of free pours from us. The practice may be questionable, but I don't hold the task rabbit guy accountable for it, he was just doing a job and he was friendly.

Lottery system moving forward! Cheers jeffstuffingsjk

 

[wolfman1201]

Seems like a win win for the super limited items. 3000 bottles or so, wait in line. 300 or less, enter this lottery.

Cuts down on mules and makes it a bit more fair for the super limited stuff.

Perhaps of equal importance, shitlords put on notice.

 

[Der Fuchs]

I never quite understood why when a brewery posts a 'show up time' they dont just have an employee show up at the designated time, count off the people already in line before the requested time, and then let an equal amount of people in line after that group through the line first. Thus rewarding those who followed the rules and directly punishing those who dont.

Possibly because then those shitlords just wait a certain distance away and attempt to sprint to the line instead. People that don't follow the rules will find some way to get around them.

 

[thejukes]

You could opt to use the old Roman practice of decimation on those who line up. Find out who the real die hard fans are.

God, I'd love to watch the running of the neckbeards... or something similar to a faster paced painful looking walk on their parts.

 

[JGlitz87]

I would prefer "Neckbeard Sprints" to be an official method of line formation. As a HS football/basketball coach, I like my odds against the general Neckbeard population.

 

[TxUltraRunner]

This skinny ultrarunner wants in on the Neckbeard Sprints! Where do I sign up?

Personally, I would make them wait right up until release time before I allowed them to be passed in line. Let them wait and think they are getting their bottles. Then crush their misguided dreams right at go time.

edit: Better yet tell them because they're the first x amount of people here, "You're now in our super elite club and here let us get all of your info."

Then ban from all future releases.
