New Jester King beer this weekend....

We’re excited to introduce Multifarious, our collaboration with 18th Street Brewery in Hammond, Indiana! For Multifarious, we sought to achieve complex results through a very simple process. We took the classic, comforting texture and aroma of oatmeal stout, added a different dimension with smoked malt, and let it slowly evolve through mixed culture fermentation with native yeast and bacteria. It was brewed with the mindset of creating a beer that is subtle, succinct, and above all — drinkable. It’s no secret at this point that we’ve been intrigued for quite some time now with subtlety, simplicity, and restraint. We often measure our work by asking the question, “Would we want to drink a full glass of this beer, and then ask for another?” In working with 18th Street Brewery on Multifarious, we feel we were able to achieve this!


Multifarious was brewed on November 18th, 2015 with raw Hill Country well water, malted barley, malted wheat, oats, and hops, and was fermented in stainless steel with our mixed culture of brewers yeast, and native yeast and bacteria harvested from the land and air around our brewery. It is 100% naturally conditioned through refermentation in bottles, kegs, and casks. At the time of packaging, Multifarious was 6.6% alcohol by volume, 34 IBU, 4.2 pH, and 1.005 specific gravity. It was packaged on January 5th, 2016.


Multifarious will be released when our tasting room opens at 4pm on Friday, March 25th. It will be available by the glass, as well as to go in bottles (750ml/$12). Approximately 2,700 bottles are available. There is no bottle limit, and we expect some of the batch to see distribution in Texas beyond Jester King through Flood Independent Distribution.

And proper glassware to boot!

Glasses look awesome. Sour stouts aren't my thing.

To make it even worse, smoked sour stout

Was typing this earlier and never sent it.
"So a tart, smokey, stout? I trust JK but that doesn't exactly get me excited..."

Funk Metal and Tart of Darkness are awesome.

To make it even worse, smoked sour stout

This is my concern...

 

[thejukes]

The Ph listed isn't really that low. About the same as the average root beer or cream soda. I would imagine it came out cleaner than usual like the last Black Metal batch because it was fermented in steel during colder weather. The cooler fermentation would suppress the bacterial contribution.

id do smokey over tart any day.

La muerta 5 year vertical anyone?

Reading their blog post, it looks like the (ever important) glassware will be derived from the art posted on the twitter announcement.

25 bucks for a glass, 4oz pour and some cheese is steep, but **** it. I want a chance to grab a bottle of broucsella paid for in TX.

Well, basically all that **** is being paid for/donated by Jester King. They're donating half of the ticket fee to beer legislative groups (Open the Taps, Texas Craft Brewers Guild) and the other half is going towards half of the licensing fees for Cantillon to be on their shelves/taps (with them footing the overage).

Jester King is going way out of pocket because they wanted Cantillon in Texas to be a thing. Respect.

Also: the page mentions "special guests." Maybe meet JVR without having to trek to Belgium? Speculating.

I'm excited for special guest friends. Should be a great time.

Haha. I still think Alex has the best Beeradvocate banning for saying he's glad Todd will be in town, so he can punch him in the face. Hope the Buttbrothers don't return to Austin.

LOL. I completely forgot about that.

I actually legitimately was within 3 feet of both the Bros at GABF. They have an entourage of what would be the beer fan equivalent of sucker fish around them at all times. *mwa mwa mwa we luv you tawd*

If you think $25 is steep, then I hate to be the guy that tells you the tickets are actually $50 a piece. (half of that ticket cost is going to the Texas Craft Brewers Guild and/or Open the Taps)

To mess with people from Houston obviously.

I'd imagine it would be a lot easier for JK to control/manage the event on a Thursday than during typical JK weekend hours. Especially since this time around they will be selling Cantillon bottles.

I peeked at the other site and they'll apparently have 200 bottles (mixed) of Grand Cru, Kriek, and Gueuze for sale.

 

[Phischy1]

My work calendar is clear, guess I'll cross that bridge if I win.

Yeah, they mention that on their blog post as well. (along with having Gueuze and Kriek on draught). http://jesterkingbrewery.com/2015-zwanze-day-at-jester-king-is-april-14th

Well aware, that's why I halved the cost of a ticket as cost of goods sold.

Gotcha. I considered that might have been the case after I posted.
