My bad.

Didn't realize a specific notification time was provided. I stopped reading the original announcement after "Zwanze".

 

[Hookemhops13]

Initially read it as 10am CST....

 

[IndianaJones]

No luck here. Wish they would use a running weighted lotto, give people who miss out consecutively additional chances like Cigar City has done for El Cat membership opportunities

 

[pldevo]

Winner over here!

 

[ExPimp]

I didn't win. Also, I didn't enter. Bummer.

 

[TxUltraRunner]

I'm a loser

 

[JGlitz87]

This seems to be the opposite experience of FoFA. It seemed like FoFA was a mini TB reunion. Only 1 TB winner so far?

 

[Digita7693]

I will be there.

Cheers

 

[wolfman1201]

I won one. I would like to attend, but got some stuff I need to figure out before tomorrow to make sure I can go. Hopefully I can.

I'm bringing all of your AS bottles to share with the attendees if you don't come.

ANOTHER BEER THIS WEEKEND?

Introducing Jester King / Perennial Artisan Ales Enigmatic Taxa
33 minutes ago




We’re excited to announce Enigmatic Taxa, our collaboration with Perennial Artisan Ales! This past winter during coolship season, Perennial came down to Austin to brew with us. We’ve long been fans of Perennial’s Hommel Bier and wanted to do a riff on it.


The word “hommel” is simply a regional Flemish dialect for “humulus” or “hops”. So in essence, hommel bier means “hoppy beer”. Poperinge is a municipality in West Flanders known for hop growing. Each year they celebrate the hop harvest and brew beers showcasing the regional hops. Popperings Hommel is likely the best known example. You could say that Enigmatic Taxa is two steps removed from its traditional counterpart. Perennial made a beer inspired by classic hommel bier, and we made a beer inspired by it.


For Enigmatic Taxa, we brewed with well water, Texas malted barley from Blacklands, Abbey malt, Biscuit malt, Carafoam, and Zythos, Cascade, and Simcoe hops. We took advantage of the cool winter night air in February and chilled the wort in our coolship. While the wort chilled in the coolship, it steeped with fresh grapefruit zest and juice. The next morning, we racked the wort from the coolship to a foudre with the yeast cake from a batch of Ol’ Oi still inside it. We didn’t add oxygen to the fermentation. After fermenting in the foudre for about two months, we moved the beer to a stainless steel tank and dry hopped it with more Cascade and Simcoe and an experimental hop called “X17” from The Oregon Hophouse. We packaged it on May 15th, 2017, and allowed the beer to naturally referment and mature for about four months prior to release.


Enigmatic Taxa is 7.0 percent alcohol, 30 IBU, 3.7 pH, and has a finishing gravity of 1.001 (0.25 Plato). It will be released on Friday, September 15th at 4pm at our tasting room. It will be available by the glass and in bottles to go. We have 2,700 bottles available (750ml/$14). There’s no bottle limit. Aside from special events, we do not anticipate that Enigmatic Taxa will be available outside our tasting room.

The bottles to go and tap list this weekend is absurd.

Save some for next Saturday, please.

 

[Hookemhops13]

Ya the list right now is nuts.

No spiders, Fen Tao, Aurelian, Biere de Coupage, La Vie, Gammalux, Enigmatic, Viking Metal, Snorkel...

 

[TxUltraRunner]

Didn't dig No Spiders. Bier de Coupage has some really good funk. Lure and Fen were fantastic on draft which hasn't always been the case with most of their beers.

Agree on all accounts. Joel at bottles to go told me he thought Enigma Taxa was grapefruit juice for adults, great description. Thought it was awesome

 

[JGlitz87]

There is a dude on a FB group that is desperate for a bottle of Thrash Metal. He has every bottle they have released except that one. I want to help the dude out, but do not have a bottle. Does anyone have one they could let go of? I can't imagine there are many left in the wild, but thought I could atleast put it out there. He probably will just take an empty if you have one of those as well.

If you can help, PM me.

 

[pldevo]

Well, it looks like I'm delaying my mortgage payment this month by a week. Spon, Fen, Lure, Zwanze Day. Got damn.

[JGlitz87]

Why do I have to coach football? I would love a chance at the Mourvedre. If anyone from Dallas is going down and is willing to so a swap for some stuff, let me know.

Chadzero and I opened one a month or two ago....

No bueno. Liquid oxydation.

Also we chucked the bottle, so no help there.

 

[jacobbocce72]

Got out to JK about 8:15 last night... Zero lines, zero fuss, ridiculous tap list. Both of the new SPON's are awesome. However, I really enjoyed the Mourvèdre.

[pldevo]

Soooooo who wants to help me get a set of the 2016 and 2017 Spon Still bottles on Friday? Cash + label, or Cash + in person if you're going down from DFW.

PM me please.

 

[IndianaJones]

Probably tough as they're 1pp, sub-400 bottles each

 

[pldevo]

There has to be a grandma out there somewhere that can help me out.

 

[thejukes]

Just de-gas a regular bottle.


You're welcome.
