KJJP-FM 105.7 is currently operating at very reduced power and signal range using a back-up transmitter. This is because of complicated problems with its very old primary transmitter. Local engineers are currently working on that transmitter and consulting with the manufacturer to diagnose and fix the problems. We apologize for this disruption and service as we work as quickly as possible to restore KJPFM to full power. In the mean time you can always stream either the HPPR mix service or HPPR connect service using the player above or the HPPR app.

'99 Bottles Of Beer' Inspires Bigger Container To Hold Beer

Published August 29, 2014 at 4:29 AM CDT

DAVID GREENE, HOST:

Good Morning. I'm David Greene. Packs of beer - they come in all sizes. There's your four-pack of craft brews, standard six-pack or party-sized 24-pack. And now this - Steve, will you sing along with me?

STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

Absolutely. (Singing) 99 bottles of beer on the wall - whoops.

GREENE: (Singing) 99 bottles of beer in the case. Yeah, it's a case. Austin Beerworks launched a 99-pack of beer this week. The case is seven-feet long. It weight 82 pounds. It'll set you back - wait for it - $99.99. Put that to music. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
