Jester King question on MvB or CDT

I know these guys know, @mph005 , @WTKeene , @PatrickInAustinTx . And maybe JK themselves will answer???? @jesterkingbeer . Any one???? I would like to know this too.

 

Pretty sure I heard that another batch of MvB is planned for next Spring. Don't take my word for it though. I suspect they're both going to be out again eventually, although I don't think I've heard anything about CdT.

Best of luck in trading for them, they're delicious. MvB is one of my favorites of theirs without a doubt.

 

Would be great if they did make them both again. I'm one of the few that liked CdT over MvB. I feel like I've heard the same, maybe MvB. But who knows. I do know that even if they don't we will still have a plethora of other amazing fruited sours to drink.

 

I have zero inside information from JK but I would be very surprised if they did not make MvB again given that those cherries would also allow them to make Detritivore again (2 popular beers for 1 batch of fruit).

 

True, another MvB also means another round of Detritivore. Highly likely yes.

 

What was the one where only 10 or so bottles made it out the brewery?

 

Biere de Merlot, I believe

 

http://jesterkingbrewery.com/beers/#beers_373 Merlot I think?

And I could swear that Ive seen tweets from JK with pictures of both grapes and cherries in the last couple months.

 

Thats the one. And it was my least favorite although I would like to try it now.

 

interesting, did you have it on tap?

 

JK Grape tweet in September... Seems to be a new beer. I dont think there has been any more info?

I had it on cask the opening weekend that you could get your allotment for MvB and CdT and I think I'm one of the few that enjoyed it the most of the three on tap.

Out of the bottle CdT was such a surprising joy to have. MvB is absolutely delicious as well from the bottle, after all dem cherries. BdM is a tough one though to gauge from the bottle- after all when you open it, it's all gone.

OP I saw your post today, that's a great way to get some variety, ask for some of the base beers for the fruited sours, I think you're in for a real treat. GL!

 

Yeah I had it that first Friday that it released. Didn't last very long.

 

I'm not sure if they are doing it again, but I would guess that the chances of it being made again are highly probably. They have to first wait for the fruit to be in season, and after that its just a matter of time fermenting. Grape harvest season typically occurs between August and October, so if it's made again, it woulb be at least until late spring/early summer before it's released.

 

Operating only on assumptions and hearsay, I think that MvB will eventually be made again, dependent on the fruit, and they are making a different grape/winey beer that isnt CdT, so less sure about that one.

They have said that they eventually want to get to the point where they have a fruited sour available at all times, so one should assume new things will keep rolling out, but there is no known public schedule of what and when (rule of thumb has been "when the fruit is available" and "when the beer is ready")
