    This weekend we’re releasing Batch 2 of Provenance — Orange & Grapefruit, and Batch 2 of Provenance — Lemon & Lime. Our Provenance beers are highly attenuated farmhouse ales brewed and fermented with winter citrus. The ingredients include Hill Country well water, malted barley, malted wheat, hops, brewer’s yeast, and native yeast and bacteria harvested from the land and air around our brewery. Citrus zest was added late in the boil and citrus juice was added during fermentation. All of the citrus was grown locally at G&S Groves and sourced from Johnson’s Backyard Garden.


    Provenance — Orange & Grapefruit is 5.5% abv, 4.1 pH at the time of bottling, and has a finishing gravity of 1.003. Provenance — Lemon & Lime is 5.7% abv, 4.2 pH at the time of bottling, and has a finishing gravity of 1.002. Approximately 6,500 bottles of both beers are available (750ml x $12). There is no bottle limit, and both are likely to see distribution outside of the Jester King tasting room.


    In addition to the bottle release, we will have a special barrel-aged version of Batch 1 Provenance on draught in our tasting room this weekend. Barrel-aged Provenance is a very small blend of Batch 1 Lemon & Lime and Batch 1 Orange & Grapefruit aged for about a year in the Mezcal barrels previously containing Encendia in 2013. It will be available on draught only. No bottles were packaged.


    Unfortunately, this year we were not able to source the fruit necessary to make Provenance — Tangerine & Clementine.


    Finally, bottles of our most recent batch of Commercial Suicide will also be on sale this weekend.

    Tangerine b1 is whale status now. That one was my fave but Orange works too.

    Not a very hot thread for a JK release. Am I missing something?

    Outside distribution = no whalezbro

    Seriously though, they've released so many things in the last couple months. I can only make the trip out there so many times. I had the O&G version of this last summer and really liked it, but if I can snag it close to home, I can wait for another few weeks for other new stuff to pile up out there. I'm sure others feel the same.

    The barrel aged Provenance on tap was worth the trip. That was delicious.

    Loved the barrel aged version as well. That alone was worth the drive up from San Antonio.

    Tequila BA Provenance was a great idea.
    Do it again with this year's two Provenances!
    Hint! Hint! @jesterkingbeer
    And, I would be curious to try this year's BA Provenance next year after two years in the barrel.

    ...two years in the barrel. Sounds like a Larry Keel lovesong.

    Do we really need to have multiple year listings for these Provenance beers on JK's page? There is just a slight difference in ABV. Does that mean we need more than one listing per release/year just cause, or is there actually a real difference between the first and second releases?

    Usually i would say no, but the new version is disgusting. They are not nearly as good as the first batch, and i think it needs to be rated separately. The first ones were tart amazing fruited saisons, this batch is trash in comparison.

    So whether or not someone likes a particular release is the criterion for it being a separate entry? Unless JK specifically made this different than the original release, and not just coming out a little different ABV wise, I don't think it should be separate. Just my opinion, but I guess it is not that big of a deal. I don't like seeing duplicates though, and it is near impossible to get the mods to remove one :slight_smile:
