Spontaneously Fermented Beer

Description

We are absolutely delighted announce the arrival of Jester King, one of the legends of the US mixed fermentation scene.

For this blend, we added 500 lbs. of Syrah grapes from northeast Texas and 500 lbs. of Sangiovese grapes from Midland, Texas to eighteen month old 100% spontaneously fermented beer from our 2016 coolship season.
We chose these two particular grape varietals due to the contrasting nature of the fruit. According to our Head Brewer Averie Swanson, “We wanted to create a blend that exhibited the darker fruit and pepper notes of the Syrah with the brighter cherry and more perfumey character of the Sangiovese. The eighteen month old SPON lent an underlying funky canvas that held space for the expression of the grapes.

Jester King is a brewery, kitchen, farm & event hall on a beautiful 165 acre ranch in the Texas Hill Country. Jester King began as a farmhouse brewery committed to mixed culture and spontaneous fermentation. their beers incorporate well water, local grains, fruits and vegetables, foraged plants, and native yeast and bacteria so as to make beer uniquely tied to a time, place, and people. The inspiration comes from the classic farmhouse breweries of Europe that embrace principles of subtlety, restraint, patience, full attenuation and interesting fermentation character.
