Wow, I can't believe how long those beers are sticking around. They still have Terroir Project too.

I've heard this batch of CRU55 is very good, would like to get a few to squirrel away. Uberkind is a perennial favorite of mine as well

Atrial seems to be the only beer that sells out within the first 1-2 days no matter how much they make anymore.

Anyone going to SPON day?

Sounds like fun and I've been meaning to get out there....

I don't think my cardboard box with a neck groove cut-out will make it to the finals for DIY lambic baskets

I'm going to try and go as well. Probably after the ABGB Sweet Barks event though.

Hey, so what happened to the Dichotomous series? They use to put it out once a quarter, but I can't even remember when I saw it last.

Gawd I wish they would make that first one just one more time (the watermelon).

That might just be my favorite Jester King beer of all time.

No I'm not kidding.

It was @ElkSherpa’s recipe wasn’t it? I always remember him bringing his watermelon saisons to Freetail all those years ago.

Hey ElkSherpa you make me more watermelon saisons at your new brewery?

We're bringing back the Dichotomous series starting with 2019 Hibernal. The difference will be that all of the adjunct ingredients will be grown at Jester King.

We're also making 2014 Hibernal Dichotomous (rosemary, mint, lavender, watermelon) again as a stand-alone beer (outside of the Dichotomous series).

Any word on a Nocturn Chrysalis release for this year?

That beer served as a resume of sorts! That culture and composure opened some doors for me.

Cool! Now about those royalties...


...excited to see how you guys approach that beer this time around!

Nothing in store for the remainder of 2018. 2019 for sure.

lol. It's not in the middle-of-nowhere. It's like 20 minutes from downtown Austin with low traffic.

Right. Like I said

So I guess Jester King is going to be distributing to Nebraska now? I'm surprised but I'll gladly take it! So long as I can hoard Petit Prince!

They've distro'ed to other states for years now through Shelton Brothers... I remember seeing Mad Meg and Petit Prince on shelves in Rhode Island when my cousin got married in 2013. I think it's just sporadic.

They skipped the Shelton Bros guy in Nebraska and went through someone else. I am curious to see if it's just sporadic or what. Either way, I'm not complaining!

My last trip up to Michigan, I saw RU55, Black Metal and Repose with a lot of the normal shelf-750s in the Detroit area. I was surprised.

jk glory days have passed. even been selling fruiteds on tavour the past couple of weeks.

I had a great time visiting their brewery this past October. The Spon beer I tried and the fruited sours were all amazing. Petit Prince w some age is great and one of the better American saisons imo.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

^^^...actually I was referring to their hype days. but their overall fruits have become less pungent over the past 2 years as well. still good. and spon is fine as well

Good IMO. The fruit intensity was bordering too intense, and masking the mixed culture character.

We send one-off shipments from time to time to various states. The only state we consistently distribute to is Texas.

While there's natural variation in how we make beer, our fruit beers, recipes, ratios, etc. have not changed, so I'd push back against the notion that they're more or less "pungent".

INTRODUCING EVEN MORE METAL / RELEASED DOOM FORGE DAY JAN. 26TH
January 21, 2019

We're pleased to introduce EVEN MORE METAL, our latest collaboration with Evil Twin Brewing! Even More Metal is a farmhouse imperial stout aged in maple bourbon barrels and finished with Ugandan vanilla beans smoked in-house at our kitchen! It will be released at Noon at Jester King on Doom Forge Day, January 26th.

Back in 2017, our friend Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergsø of Evil Twin came to Jester King to fill some bourbon barrels that previously held maple syrup. We filled the barrels with our Black Metal Farmhouse Imperial Stout. After about a year of aging, we added Ugandan vanilla beans that we smoked in one of our kitchen's wood-fired ovens. The beer was then blended and naturally conditioned through refermentation in bottles and kegs.

Even More Metal is 11.4% alcohol by volume. It will be available by the glass and in bottles to go (750ml/$28) starting at Noon on January 26th as part of Doom Forge Day. We have about 1,000 bottles, and the bottle limit is one per customer per day.

Even More Metal is our third collaboration with Evil Twin following World's Worst Twin and Even More Jeppe. Like all Jester King beers, the artwork is by JOSH COCKRELL. Photography by GRANGER COATS of Jester King.

Cheers!

These collabs with Jeppe have all been pretty good, especially 'Even More Jeppe'. Hopefully it lasts till next weekend so I can nab a bottle (got a funeral this weekend to attend).
