We're pleased to introduce Jester King Barrel Aged Wild Ale with Jambolan Plums!

Finding interesting Texas fruits and fermenting them with our beer is perhaps our favorite thing to do at Jester King. In this case, we found a new fruit we'd never worked with before grown in southern Texas -- Jambolan plums! Native to India, Burma, Ceylon and the Andaman Islands, the Jambolan plums we worked with were grown at Paradise Gardens in Los Fresnos, Texas.

We took mature barrel aged wild ale and refermented it with Jambolan plums at around 2-3 pounds per gallon. Once the fruit refermentation reached total dryness, we naturally conditioned the beer in bottles and kegs (6.6% abv). The plums deliver quite a unique flavor and aroma! We get a lovely mix of jammy, seedy, wintergreen, and sloe gin character.

Barrel Aged Wild Ale with Jambolan Plums is now available for online ordering and pickup at Jester King. Here's the link to our website for ordering:...

We're pleased to celebrate ten years of Jester King having first begun brewing in 2010! In recognition of our 10th anniversary, we're releasing two new beers as an ode to our past and present -- a DDH IPA and a Dry-Hopped Farmhouse Ale with Triticale & Oats! Both our anniversary beers are now available to go and to enjoy onsite at Jester King.

Our 10th-anniversary DDH IPA is dry-hopped with Idaho 7 cryo, Citra, and El Dorado at a rate of 4 pounds per barrel. It's 6.8% ABV and represents our new experimentation in 2020 with pure culture fermentation. Our 10th-anniversary Dry-Hopped Farmhouse Ale is brewed with well water, 100% Texas malt (malted barley, oats, and triticale from our friends at TexMalt in Fort Worth), and East Kent Golding, Fuggle, and Perle hops. It's 5.8% ABV and represents a decade worth of brewing based on local sourcing of ingredients, wild fermentation with native yeast, and pursuing a sense of time, place, and people in beer.

Today at 3pm CST we're excited to release 2020 SPON Three Year Blend!

SPON Three Year Blend is 100% spontaneously fermented beer inspired by authentic Belgian Gueuze. It's a blend of three different "vintages" of beer -- in this case beer from 2019, 2018, and 2017 coolship seasons. 2020 is our 5th three year blend following our 2016 to 2019 releases.

To create SPON, we combine unfiltered well water from the Trinity Aquifer and Texas-grown malted barley and raw wheat in a turbid mash. We boil the wort for four hours with aged hops from the attic of our barn. We then chill the wort overnight in our coolship to collect native yeast from the air. The next morning we fill oak barrels and allow the beer to spontaneously ferment without pitching any yeast. After one to three years of maturation, we finally create our three-year blend and naturally condition it through fermentation in bottles and kegs. We follow a very traditional recipe and process, but ultimately create a beer uniquely tied to the terroir of the Texas Hill Country.

2020 SPON Three Year Blend will...
