    JESTER KING COLLABS WITH BEER WRITER RON PATTINSON ON PATTINSON PORTER



    [​IMG]

    Ron Pattinson visited back in March to speak at the brewery and collaborate on a beer. He brought with him a rare historical recipe for an East German Porter from the early to mid 20th century. These porters were heavily toasted, highly hopped, and brettanomyces refermented. As a take on this recipe, we pitched our mixed culture which contains several strains of brettanomyces rather than refermenting with brettanomyces.

    Pattinson Porter was brewed in March with Texas Hill Country well water, Weyermann Munich, Caramunich, Carafa III, Blacklands Brownfield, and Liberty hops. We then fermented the beer for a little over 6 weeks in stainless steel. We bottled and kegged this beer in May and let it condition in its vessel for an additional 11 weeks.

    From co-founder Jeffrey Stuffings:

    “Working with Ron Pattinson was a real honor for us at Jester King. He’s someone we’ve looked up to for years and learned a lot about beer from. History can easily be lost forever, so we’re grateful for Ron’s effort to preserve it when it comes to beer. Ron is also one of the most entertaining and engaging people we know in the beer world, so it was a real pleasure to host him at Jester King, brew with him, and have him lecture on the history of sour beer in Germany.”

    With the release of Pattinson Porter, will have a limited amount of Feral Dampf available. Feral Dampf is our collaboration with Local Option back in 2016, inspired by a dampfbier, another rare, little known, and practically extinct German beer-style.

    Pattinson Porter has an ABV of 8.4%. It will be available by the glass and in bottles-to-go ($13/750mL). Around 1,700 bottles are available with no bottle limit. We anticipate distribution of this beer.

    Pattinson also recently contributed to SMOD’s (Saint Mars of the Desert) take on an 1832 Mild Ale. Unfortunately, no distro here -

    And of course St Mars of the Desert is the new Sheffield UK brewery opened by the couple who brought us Pretty Things. I'd love to sample their stuff.

    And I wish this Pattinson-Jester King collaboration were accessible to me as well.

    I like reading Pattinson's blog. Edifying.

    That's a sharp label. Dig the vintage look.

    Done. Baltic Porter seemed the most appropriate style choice.

    I like the history and it sounds like a good beer too. I'll keep an eye out for it.

    Maybe @patto1ro will chime in on the style choice?

    This is obviously a pretty unique beer that's difficult to categorize but out of the styles currently available on BA, Baltic Porter certainly seemed like the closest match ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

    I'm not criticizing the choice. I just thought Ron's thoughts on it might be interesting.
