Apparently, they just started distributing in Washington. For a while, I had to hook up through the Masonry in Fremont. But they closed many years ago.

Glad to see they’re finding an audience! The switch to doing some cans and widening distro was a big swing for them, but they’re some of the best in the business

For over a decade, my rule of thumb has been to try anything of theirs that I can get my hands on at any price.

And yes, the cans are welcome. It was always 750s from the masonry, which was fabulous, but probably not optimal for distribution.

For me, this is the one to watch out for if they keep doing future vintages in cans. By far my favorite JK beer that’s not at collectors’ prices. Since it’s not as coveted as Atrial it might make it out of Texas

From JK’s Facebook: facebook Our 2023 batch of La Vie en Rose is now out! La Vie en Rose is farmhouse ale fermented on the raspberries from 2023 Atrial Rubicite. As you can see from the photo, we still get a tremendous amount of fruit character and color from the second-use raspberries. This is also the first time we've canned La Vie en Rose. Available at Jester King and a limited number of retailers in Texas and abroad.
