Jester King Brewery - Biere de Miel Farmhouse Ale 5.2% 750ml Bottle

Jester King is excited to introduce their latest beer, Jester King Biere de Miel. Named after the classic style (honey beer), Jester King Biere de Miel was brewed, fermented, and naturally conditioned with raw, Texas wildflower honey. They sought to take the classic style and impart a sense of place in the beer through wild fermentation with naturally occurring yeast and souring bacteria harvested from the Texas Hill Country. Jester King Biere de Miel is the product of a very long, slow fermentation during which the diversity of microorganisms in the beer were allowed sufficient time to impart unique aromas and flavours. Originally brewed on December 3rd, 2013, Biere de Miel spent approximately five months in a stainless steel tank slowly fermenting and maturing. With wild fermentation at their brewery, they don’t always know when a beer will be ready. The analogy they like to use is that a farmer can’t plant her/his crops in the spring and say, I’m going to harvest them on the third Monday in September. Nature doesn’t behave that way. They give the microorganisms all the time they need, then they tell us when the beer is ready, not the other way around. On brewday, they added raw, Texas wildflower honey from Good Flow Honey Co. in Austin, Texas late in the boil. After the first several weeks of fermentation, they added more honey to the beer. Finally, the beer was 100% naturally refermented in bottles, kegs, and casks using more of the raw, Texas wildflower honey. In addition to the honey, Biere de Miel was brewed with Hill Country well water, malted barley, malted wheat, and hops. This is a dry, well attenuated, unspiced farmhouse ale completely unfiltered. Unpasteurized & 100% bottle conditioned.
