Your help with making a new beer at Jester King

I just posted this on Facebook. If you or someone you know would be willing to help, I'd appreciate it! -- Jeff


Texas Home Hop Growers,

We need your help!

We're working on making our first ever beer with 100% Texas ingredients -- well water, Texas grown grains and hops, and 100% spontaneous fermentation with native yeast and bacteria.

We recently took a big step forward when we learned from Blacklands Malt that we'll soon be receiving our first Texas grown malted barley from them! This was huge news for us at Jester King.

We're now looking to take the final step towards sourcing all native ingredients by finding about 15 to 30 pounds of Texas grown hops. We've managed to grow a few pounds ourselves so far at the brewery, but we still need more. If any home hop grower in Texas would be willing to help us with this project by supplying us with some home grown hops, we'd be greatly appreciative and would gladly share the finished beer with you down the road.

The hops don't have to be perfect or smell great. We're planning on aging them prior to use this winter in one of our coolship batches.

If you'd be willing to help us with this project, please send me an e-mail at [email protected]

Cheers!
