    Releasing this weekend.



    [​IMG]

    We will be releasing our second ever blend of Montmorency vs Balaton when our tasting room opens at 4pm on Friday, March 20th. It will be available by the glass and to go in 500ml bottles ($16, limit 1 per customer per day). Approximately 3,000 bottles are available. Aside from special events, Montmorency vs Balaton blend 2 will only be available at our tasting room.

    Like the first blend, Montmorency vs Balaton blend 2 was brewed with Texas Hill Country well water, malted barley, malted wheat, raw wheat, and hops. It was fermented in neutral oak barrels with Jester King’s unique mixed culture of brewer’s yeast and native yeast and bacteria harvested from the air and wildflowers around our brewery. It was then refermented with Montmorency and Balaton cherries from Michigan. Blend 2 is 6.7% alcohol by volume, 3.36 pH, 10 IBU, and has a finishing gravity of 1.005 (1.3 degrees Plato). We have already begun a second refermentation of the cherries from Montmorency vs Balaton blend 2 to make our second batch of Detritivore.

    This is the one beer I will wait in 3 hour lines for. Luckily, it looks like a shitty weather rainy weekend, which will help with lines.

    And with SXSW going on, who knows what happens.

    No way this goes in one weekend...there's only so many people that go to Stanley's, right?

    We chose a limit of one to try to make sure it stretches across at least two weekends. That way more people have a chance to buy it. My guess would be it sells out the third weekend (4/3 to 4/5). - Jeff

    You mean 1 case per person, right?

    :wink:

    Are you guys opening early on Friday @jesterkingbeer ? I seem to recall that you did last year during SXSW

    I hope that's true. I had already planned a trip to JK on the 27th and I'll be super thrilled if I get some of this nectar.
