Been a little dead around here it seems, so getting a new JK beer thread going. Missing out on this one myself, but curious to people's thoughts on it. Should be a winner, judging from the likes of previous fruit re-re-fermentations. This Friday, April 14th at 4pm, we’ll be releasing Jester King Grim Harvest! Grim Harvest is our farmhouse ale refermented with the “spent” blackberries from Jester King Nocturn Chrysalis. Grim Harvest was bottled on August 12, 2016. It’s 5.8% alcohol by volume, 14 IBU, 3.4 pH, and has a finishing gravity of 1.000 (0 degrees Plato). We only have 800 bottles available for sale (750ml/$18). The bottle limit is one per customer per day. Unfortunately, we didn’t have enough Grim Harvest to fill any kegs, so it will only be available at bottles to go. Grim Harvest will only be available at Jester King until the bottles are sold out. We’ve been looking forward to releasing the second refermentation of the blackberries from Nocturn Chrysalis (working title “Blackberry 2”) for quite some time, so we hope you enjoy!
Cracked one yesterday and I think I may have enjoyed it more than Nocturn, which is weird. Is just a bit more drinkable. Kind of a shame it's so limited, this would be an awesome and refreshing summer beer.
Nocturn is very possibly my favorite JK bottle. As such, I really would want a bottle of Grim Harvest. Just couldnt justify a day-trip to Austin for a single bottle....
Thanks for the kind words. We plan on making more using the blackberries from this year's Nocturn Chrysalis.
