Next Jester King and Mikkeller Collab Update

At it again. Last night JK posted of an update on their blog. I think they had told us before that they planned on brewing a TX version of Mikkeller’s Beer Geek Brunch, with smoked malts and chipotle peppers (lot of smokiness). But now they've given us an idea of when that would happen — November.

With all that smoke, it kind of kills the idea of beer geek brunch. Not that it won't be a good beer. I love smoked beers, especially with chipotle smoke and heat (Remember their Chipotle Porter ? Sooo good). Maybe they should figure out a way to make a Beer Geek Brunch with migas. There you go guys. Run with that.

Jester King Stuff

First, this past Friday JK brewed their latest session beer, a Berliner Weisse:

. . . a sour, very pale wheat beer, fermented with a combination of saccharomyces (standard beer yeast) and lactobacillus (souring bacteria).

Love that style. Can't wait to see how it turns out.



Then, today JK tweeted that they are bottling Drink'in the Sunbelt, their collaboration brew with Mikkeller.

Jester King / Mikkeller Drink’in the Sunbelt to be Bottled Apparently UPDATED

*UPDATE, from Jester King Jeff:

We dry hopped it yesterday. We'll bottle it in about ten days, then it will take two to three weeks to bottle condition.

Drinkin'in the Sunbelt in bottles. Sounds good. I hope these show up before summer really starts slammin' us.

Mikkeller Big Worse

I've kind of dogged these guys before. Had the Big Worse yesterday and really liked it. Complex and chewy. Definitely has potential aging-wise I am betting. More of an Old Ale. I stand corrected.

Happy Thanksgiving aka Boca Baby

I am here in Boca Raton visiting family, so the blogging will be a little slow for the next few days. But you shouldn't be reading the internets anyway, go carve the turkey!

This is what I picked up yesterday at Total Wine:

That dude (JLC) is my great, great uncle (or something like that).

Mikkeller

Word is, Mikkeller is coming to Texas. Alright. That's fine. Over-hyped euro craft beer if you asked me, como Brew Dog.
