Jester King 100° / Fantôme del Rey / Oktoberfest / Synthesis Analogous / Wytchmaker Rye IPA / Final Entropy / La Vie en Rose

100Degrees-1.jpg

Back in July when it was blazing hot in Texas (it's the first day of Fall and it's still hot), we got the idea of making a nice, light refreshing farmhouse ale inspired by a Shandy cocktail we were serving. We came up with a recipe using lemon peel and ginger root, and we called the beer "100°" to coincide with some cool label art designed by Jester King Artist Katie Ross. In true Jester King fashion given the time it takes to make and condition our beer, 100° is being released just when there's a glimmer of nice weather ahead. But it's still a delicious beer we're excited for you to drink.

100° is a farmhouse ale brewed with well water, San Jacinto Heritage Malt and Denton County Wheat Malt from TexMalt, organic Perle hops from The Oregon Hophouse, dried lemon peel, and ginger root. It was fermented in stainless steel with a mix of farmhouse yeast and native yeast, then naturally conditioned in bottles and kegs.

Available today at 2pm onsite and at the link: https://bit.ly/3DL8HIZ. We have about 3,000 bottles available. 11 bottle limit per person. Shipping/delivery illegal in Texas.

FantomeDelRey.jpg

We're happy to announce the re-release of Fantôme del Rey — farmhouse ale brewed with Belgian candi sugar, coriander, black peppercorns, & truffle honey in collaboration with Brasserie Fantôme in Soy, Belgium. We first brewed Fantôme del Rey with the legendary brewer Dany Prignon on a trip to Belgium in 2014. We then re-brewed it at Jester King in 2016. Six years later, we're excited to release it once again.

Fantôme del Rey was brewed with Hill Country well water, Texas-grown barley and wheat malt from TexMalt, organic Fuggles hops, Belgian candi sugar, coriander, and black peppercorns. It was fermented in stainless steel with our mixed culture, then re-fermented with truffle honey. We naturally conditioned it for four months in green bottles. We hope you enjoy this project of spontaneity that originally sprang to life on a trip to visit one of our inspirations eight years ago!

Available Wednesday, 9/14 at 2pm onsite and at the link: https://bit.ly/3S3SL8P. We have about 2,500 bottles available. 11 bottle limit per person. Shipping/delivery illegal in Texas.

Synthesis-1 (3).jpg

We're very excited to announce the return of one of our all-time favorite beers at Jester King — Synthesis Analogous!

2022 Synthesis Analogous is a blend of Jester King La Vie en Rose (made from the raspberries from Atrial Rubicite) and Jester King Grim Harvest (made from the blackberries from Nocturn Chrysalis) aged in whisky barrels from our friends at Balcones Distilling in Waco, Texas. We love the rich character the Balcones whisky barrels impart on this elegant blend of fruited farmhouse ales. We're grateful to have them up the road from us and to get to work with their barrels so frequently!

La Vie en Rose was aged in Balcones barrels for a little over a year and Grim Harvest was aged in Balcones barrels for about six months. We hope you enjoy this rare appearance of Synthesis Analogous, which we've now only released three times in thirteen years!

Available today onsite and for pickup here. We have about 1,000 bottles available. 11 bottle limit per person. Shipping/delivery illegal in Texas.

Back just in time for Fall is Wytchmaker Rye IPA!

First released at Jester King in October of 2010, Wytchmaker is brewed with Texas-grown San Jacinto Two Row and Wildfire Pale Malt from TexMalt, malted Rye, and oats. It's kettle hopped with Citra and El Dorado and dry hopped with Simcoe, Amarillo, Citra, and Mosaic Cryo. We fermented it in stainless steel with Imperial A38 Juice yeast.

It's super fresh, hoppy, and delicious, so we hope you enjoy it this Fall season!

2022 LA VIE EN ROSE

October 7, 2022

Our 2022 batch of La Vie en Rose is here!

La Vie en Rose is a farmhouse ale re-fermented on the raspberries from Jester King Atrial Rubicite. The ratio of fruit to beer is very high for Atrial Rubicite (6 pounds per gallon), so La Vie en Rose has a lot of fruit character even though it's from the second re-fermentation of the raspberries. It's unfiltered, unpasteurized, and naturally conditioned. The effervescence from bottle conditioning of the 2022 batch is lower at 1.6 volumes of CO2, but we don't feel this impacts the enjoyment of what's a very fruit-forward, wine-like beer. Enjoy!

Available today onsite and at the link: https://bit.ly/3T5pD1j. We have about 2,500 bottles available. 11 bottle limit per person. Shipping/delivery illegal in Texas.
