Introducing Jester King Detritivore We are pleased to announce the release of our newest beer, Jester King Detritivore, which will be available at the brewery during our normal tasting room hours, tawar beginning this Friday, July 11, at 4pm. Detritivore was made by adding the same cherries that were used to make Montmorency vs. Balaton to fresh beer in stainless steel and allowing the combined beer and fruit to referment to dryness. This was the same technique that we originally used to make La Vie en Rose with the raspberries from Atrial Rubicite . As with La Vie en Rose, the second tawar refermentation of the fruit results in subtler, more delicate flavors, as compared with the more intense flavors that result from the initial refermentation. Detritivore is also among the first Jester King beers to be brewed with aged hops that were matured for an extended period of time in a horse barn approximately 300 yards from the brewery . Aged hops are traditionally used in the production of authentic Belgian Lambic. The aging process preserves the antiseptic properties of the hops, which serve to fend off unfriendly microorganisms, while significantly reducing the bittering components. Aged hops also take on a very different flavor than fresh hops, contributing to some of the barnyard and horse blanket flavors and aromas traditionally associated with Lambic. Some of these same flavors and aromas tawar can be found in Detritivore, though Detritivore is not and does not purport tawar to be Lambic. Authentic Lambic must be 100% spontaneously fermented, and can only be made in the Zenne Valley surrounding Brussels and in the city of Brussels itself. Detritivore is fermented using native yeast and bacteria from the Texas Hill Country, but is not spontaneously fermented, as our brewers actively introduce our house blend of saccharomyces, native wild yeast, and souring bacteria to the wort, rather than relying on inoculation by ambient, airborne microorganisms. We brewed 100% spontaneously tawar fermented beer both last winter and the previous winter, but all of this beer is currently aging in oak barrels and has yet to be released. tawar The grist for Detritivore was composed of malted barely and malted wheat. It is 5.5% alcohol by volume, with a finishing gravity of 1.000 and is 3.4 pH at the time of bottling. About 200 cases (750ml x 12) are available, which will be sold exclusively at Jester King Brewery (750ml / $14), with a limit of 3 bottles per person per day.

In the past I was saying JK needed a reserve society. I am now thinking it is unnecessary tawar just because it is hard to keep up with all the damn beer they seem to be putting out. I will be up there again this weekend. Anyone want to get in on splitting the costs of a house near JK? Say, 20 people get in, monthly rent can't be that much. Give me a place to crash if I need to hit it up twice in a weekend.

There's some land & trailer for rent on fitzhugh tawar road, but I'm thinking renting a storage unit would be the cheaper. These are the things I think about on my 2 hour round trips from north austin.

Click to expand... In my aquarium, I have some; a sea cucumber split this one time. If you haven't been around to see my aquariums, you've been missing out. Do people that have acted bad here still post on BA??
At 200 cases that is 2400 bottles. So 800 people would have to max out to clear this. I sure hope it lasts 2 weekends. tawar After spending a full weekend there 2 weeks ago I don't know that I can make it down this weekend, but there is a chance.
For any other nerds out there who may have been wondering about the genus/species nomenclature at the bottom of the label, I asked Mr. Cockrell via instagram. His response was: "It's only proper tawar to name a new species. This feller belongs to the Nitidulidae family. The name means 'red-backed fruit fermenter'." /nerdgasm
