We're excited to announce the release of Jester King Ordinary Bitter! We love English-style beers. Like, really love them. We will not travel to Denver without visiting Hogshead Brewery or Seattle without visiting Machine House Brewery. We're lucky and grateful to have Acopon Brewing Co. making delicious English-style beers down the road from us. We've relished the opportunities we've had in the past to visit Manchester, England and experience English beers from their home.

We've also made beers such as Black Metal (English-style Imperial Stout) and Meowsonry! (Farmhouse Best Bitter). Why do we love them so much? We'd same it comes down to the elegant balance of toasty malt, herbal bitterness, and subtle dark fruit fermentation character, as well as the incredible session-ability, which lends to memorable experiences with friends and loved ones.

For Jester King Ordinary Bitter, we brewed a low-gravity wort with Golden Promise, dark crystal, and biscuit malts, a touch of flaked barley, and East Kent Goldings hops. We fermented in stainless steel with West Yorkshire Ale yeast, and packaged in kegs and cans. 3.5% abv.
