Jester King Thread

[Lutter]

Sells out tonight for sure, right?

Definitely tomorrow.

Hopefully everyone will be too busy seeing LEGO Batman tonight to buy it before I get there, lol.

The weather is perfect today, so that's not going to stop anybody.

What's the line like? Saw someone check-in on Untappd while posted up, figure he's not the only one

 

[IndianaJones]

Jester King just posted a picture on their FB. Definitely not making it through to tonight

How is it?

How is it?

Very good. I still think BdT is king though.

Very dry but bursting with what I can only describe as a sweet red flavor (I know that statement makes no sense). Nice light funk.

You are wrong, BdS will always be king.

Can't a guy have 1 opinion without being **** on here? I swear. Have you even opened a CdT in the last 6 months? It's killer. Fite me.

EDIT: Uh, I meant CdT... not BdT. You got that right? Right? Probably? Right? Opinion changed right?

 

[Persdawg]

Love CdT. It's up there with Nocturn for me.
Still have one sneaky BdS around.
But def disappointed to miss BdL.

Kind of off topic here, but I think I've now heard the comment along the lines of "Jester King's beer got infected and they couldn't fix it, so they just ran with it" enough times that I feel the need to respond via blog post and/or video or something sometime in the near future. It didn't bother me much at first, but I've now heard it enough where I'm starting to think it's a problem, and that rumor is swallowing historical fact.

All anyone who wants to see how we've gone about fermentation over the years has to do is look back through our blog posts. It's all laid out in words and photos right there. For instance, during our construction I was posting on our blog about our first "coolship", which I put on our roof to capture airborne yeast and bacteria to inoculate our barrels. The first beer we ever brewed (not released, but brewed) was Boxer's Revenge, which we intentionally inoculated with a slurry of bugs.

I suppose my question is whether I'm overreacting here? How much has this rumor spread over the years / how pervasive is it? I've heard it enough times now, including from some people who frankly should know better, that I'm feeling the need to respond. Thanks!

I've never heard anyone say that, but I try not to hang out with ding dongs.

Jeff I don't think I've heard that about your brewery for years.

Used to be "Jester King keeps trying to make Black Metal but keeps accidentally making Funk Metal" way back in 2012/2013. Ha.

Have never heard that myself either. I think this community has a pretty low tolerance for ding dongs, so most of the rumors probably don't take any root here

Nothing on this website is on topic.

I heard this rumor much more in 2013 and 2014. I still hear it on occasion. If you feel the need to respond, and right the ship of historical fact, go for it. It's bothersome enough to ask us after all.
As long as the post is written with the normal JK tact, it won't be an overreaction.

 

[jacobbocce72]

I've heard it from time to time... Especially early on. Don't really hear it much anymore. I actually believed someone my first visit there (don't worry... I'm not a ding dong now).

Yeah I agree with everyone else that it's probably unnecessary because 1) I haven't heard anyone seriously say it in a looong time, 2) those who do say it don't know what they're talking about, and 3) it could come across as being defensive to the people who don't know what they're talking about, which would just cause more headaches. And a the end of the day, even the people who are saying that have nothing bad to say about the beer. Just my 2 cents though.

I don't hear this very often any more but when I do it's usually from someone outside of Texas, and I always tell them it's just a myth. A new blog post might change a few people's minds but I don't think that will make it go away completely. The people who have read your blog over the years know the rumor isn't true and the people who believe and spread the rumor probably aren't reading your posts.

Just release a new batch of OG Black Metal...that'll put an end to it!

Jeff, I haven't heard that in a long time. When I'm out for events, or just traveling and mention I work at a brewery in Texas, JK is usually one of the first three breweries people ask about. If you ask me, very few breweries follow a philosophy like JK. Yours is more a way-of-life than it is just making beer. Which is pretty cool. Keep looking forward...don't let these rumors turn your head and make you look back.

Sir, I like the cut of your jib.

Jester King Cocksure. Looks like a tap sticker. Freaking random. If memory serves this beer was released as Noble King.

Sure sounds like Noble King.

Cocksure – a slightly darker, stronger, heavily-hopped farmhouse pale ale brewed with all European noble hops​

That person must work at a distributor or something. They have a ridiculous amount of brewery merch in their shop, and it's all pretty laughably priced.

Yeah, I think that was going to be the name of a farmhouse pale ale.

Zero bottles in existence! I gotta get that sticker and put it on MBC for $599 + shipping.
