Funny enough, we got La Petit Prince too but since it's 2.8% ABV it can't be sold in liquor stores legally...only grocery stores that sell 3.4% beer.

Shelton Brothers just launched JK in Missouri and they got Boxers along with the regulars as well...

I honestly don't care that much. JK isn't that far of a drive for my fix. Good for them getting their sours out of state. They'll be able to increase production soon enough.

 

[Texas_Speed]

That sucks for us Houstonians that JK sours are being distributed to other states instead of the city of Houston. Glad to see others get to enjoy their great beers though. And like nablock said hopefully they will be able to increase production soon. Guess I need to make a drive back to Austin in the near future.

I agree it is a tough situation but look at Prairie as a duplicate example. OK has a fantastic brewerry in their backyard and once they start expanding to other states, the locals get upset because they claim there is not enough production to fill the local demand. However us in TX that just saw a fantastic drop of Bomb! will never raise a negative word about the situation. Individually it sucks but it is good to see the breweries taking advantage of a devouring market, guarantee all the JK (including Noble King) will be gobbled off the shelves quickly in CO as it is the 'new' thing in that market. Same thing would happen if CS sent some St. Bretta to TX, a CO shelf beer would be gobbled immediately. Breweries will continue to take advantage (in a good way) of this ridiculous market for beer.

All joking/trolling aside, I'm curious if Jester King is making a permanent entry into the Colorado market...or is it a Jeff <3's Chad so we get some Jester King relationship.

I want to see reciprocation!

And Houston people can only complain a little, as mattchow is a generous #goandpickitupformebro who seems to be in Austin every other week.

Agreed. Matt has already Muled some ABW Heavy Machinery for me. I need to make another drive to Austin, it really isn't that far.

It's crap when a brewery says they release at the brewery because they don't have enough to effectively distribute and then distribute to other states.

It's a spit in the eye...

Fair point.
I would think the JK team has a reason for doing this. Perhaps someone in the know can chime in.

Also, I'm surprised no one wants free beer...

Karbach is planning on building a new Brewery that will give them the capability of tripling their capacity. It's crazy to think about how quickly they have grown in such a short amount of time.

 

[Texas_Speed]

Also, this was recently posted on another site by Jeff of Jester King. It explains why other states received their sours and certain Texas locations didn't

"The backstory on that is there was an interruption in service from our distributor as a result of us changing our license to a brewpub. We were required by law to get a contract on file with TABC. Hashing out the contract with our distributor took time. As we've mentioned before, our space is very limited and we need to get beer out of the brewery when it's ready. Otherwise, we'd have to shut down production. This resulted in out of state shipments of our beer during the period of interruption in service from our distributor. Small quantities of some of our limited beers were included on these shipments. We'd rather have sold this beer in Texas, but when faced with the choice of complying with TABC code or temporarily shutting down production, we chose complying with the code.
- Jeff"

Jeff you had me at hello

 

[nablock]

Texas_Speed beat me. I was about to post that over here. Certainly clarifies everything. Now us Texans can go back to holding JK beers hostage

[Texas_Speed]

[HopAG]

It is to go, I've seen people post sealed bottles. Nice looking bottle.

 

[Alex2]

If I hadn't just agreed to work tomorrow. Oh well.

 

[HopAG]

Pretty sure it is sold out by now homie

 

[Alex2]

What makes you say that? Do you know the bottle count?

 

[Texas_Speed]

What makes you say that? Do you know the bottle count?

According to someone from the other site. It was estimated at 300 bottles and they are already sold out.

 

[Alex2]

Oh wow, I had no idea it was that low. I guess Scott may have mentioned it in the "I want your feedback" thread on BA.

 

[kmello69]

Apparently this was only a partial release, and more will be released in the future (also silently)

Oh yeah, and this.
