Wonder why they made the switch. No wristbands on Friday.

They had wristbands yesterday too

 

[air]

I can't recall wristbands done on any friday lately. Just sat/sun

 

[thatguy2014]

The line for pours is almost as long as the line for bottles lol.

 

[thatguy2014]

Success! After missing bottles/draft by about 15 minutes Friday, and not being able to come Saturday, I finally have bottles!

 

[Lutter]

I haven't been on the tour in years, but I finally got the chance to go up to the Coolship. Is pretty.

Elderflowers. NICE!!

http://jesterkingbrewery.com/introducing-even-more-jeppe

Creating Even More Jeppe was an exercise in patience. The base beer took about one year to fully mature in oak barrels. The barrel aged blend with dried elderflowers and Nelson Sauvin hops then went through a few different phases. Initially very pleasant, the blend morphed into something that, in all honesty, I’d describe as having aromatics of cat pee and garbage. After another eight months of re-fermentation in the bottle, the beer finally transformed into something that I believe has explosive aromatics of tropical fruit and a beautiful, balanced acidity. What was once a beer I was afraid would never see the light of day is now something I’m really excited to release.

Wait, you forgot the actual meat of the announcement... the bottle release details. No one actually drinks these beers! ( )

Even More Jeppe is 6.0 percent alcohol by volume, 20 IBU, 3.3 pH, and has a finishing gravity of 1.002 (0.5 Plato). It will be released at our tasting room at 4pm on Friday, July 29th. Supply is limited. We only have eight 50L kegs for glass pours and 1,000 bottles to go (750ml/$22). The bottle limit is one per customer per day. Aside from special events and some cases we’re sending to Jeppe, no Even More Jeppe will be available outside of our tasting room. This weekend, we’re also excited to have Evil Twin Freudian Slip, Lil B, Soft DK, Ashtray Heart, and Yin available

1000 bottles. That's a pretty damn small release.

EMJ was damn tasty, probably their best 750ml in a while. Anyone else try it?

I was out there Friday. I thought it was as close to a fruit sour as can be without having fruit in it. I'm not sure how long I'm gonna sit on my bottle though, I wonder how the hoppy component is gonna hold up.

 

[Persdawg]

How many bottles remain?

Unfortunately could not make it out this past weekend. Sounds like a tasty brew though.

JK Gose. Yes plz.

 

[SirDickButts]

best label design.

 

[Steve2]

JK Gose. Yes plz.

I guess technically it'd be a salted farmhouse ale. Looks like a blend with MVB. Mmmmm nom!

That is true. Technically not a gose. But close enough for govt work...

Salted cherry limearita

[Lutter]

Sounds freaking delicious.

I love that the masses sleep on these types of releases since they are not a fruited sour. I can't make the trip down to buy any, but hope to be able to trade more hyped (but possibly less good) beers for multiple of these.

I was thinking alcoholic cherry limeade...

 

[arbybaconator]

Had a few glasses of Space Waves on Friday. It wasn't for me. Very bitter with almost no fruit. I think this one needs to age a good long while.

 

[Persdawg]

Space waves was kind of meh.

Jeppe otoh....FIRE
