Jester King Brewery Soul Conduit (Blend 2)

A table beer aged in gin barrels and refermented with dried makrut limes and thyme! Soul Conduit began when our (at the time) Head Brewer Averie Swanson decided to put our Le Petit Prince Farmhouse Table Beer into the Old Tom gin barrels that previously held Jester King Viking Metal. Averie writes, "I originally wanted to put Le Petit Prince into the gin barrels that were emptied for last year's Viking Metal, hoping the beer would pick up a bit of the smoke character left in the barrel, as a bit of an homage to Schlenkerla Helles." As the beer matured, Averie observed that not only did the beer pickup smokiness, but botanical character as well. "Over time the beer picked up not just the smoke but also quite a bit of the gin botanicals and has an awesome smokey fullness, juniper gin notes and a crazy tonic-like bitterness. Thus, the G&Teeter was born!"
