Collaboration with Jester King Brewery
Stein Beer is the collaboration we did with Jester King last summer. This experimental beer never touched stainless steel. We mashed in oak barrels, boiled with hot granite rocks in barrels, and then fermented and aged the beer in a red wine barrel. The beer was bittered and flavored entirely with plants other than hops, including hyssop, basil, wild oregano, and juniper. This is a fascinating tart concoction unlike anything you've ever tasted and is reminiscent of herbal digestifs.

Dark chocolate brown, mostly opaque. Slight yeast sediment left on the bottom of the bottle after a gentle pour. Very slight head. Pleasant herbal, earthy, licorice and oregano aroma. Balsamic vinegar coats from the front to the back of the tongue. Mild acidity. Deep oregano spice. Earth, leaf and funk. Subtle wood in the finish. Moderate body with an herbal, tonic-like texture. A brief flash of tiny bubbles coats the tongue for a second before leaveing a dry, grainy mouthfeel. Truly unique. Highly complex and tasty overall.
