Jester King & Mikkeller’s Barrel Aged Weasel Rodeo Also Available

Jester King/Mikkeller Barrel Aged Weasel Geek RodeoA smidge earlier than Jester King expected,

is their Barrel Aged Weasel Rodeo. The barrel aged edition of the Mikkeller collaboration spent 6 months getting funky in whiskey barrels.

Whiskey Barrel Rodeo (12.0% ABV) is the barrel aged version of Jester King / Mikkeller Weasel Rodeo, an unfiltered, unpasteurized, naturally carbonated Imperial Oatmeal Stout brewed with chipotle peppers, smoked malt and Vietnamese Kopi Luwak Coffee and fermented with farmhouse yeast. After being brewed with Mikkeller at Jester King in November of 2011, Whiskey Barrel Rodeo spent six months aging in whiskey barrels followed by another three months of bottle conditioning. Unlike most of our barrel aged beers where we use barrel aging to impart funky, sour flavors and aromas, Whiskey Barrel Rodeo was aged in whiskey barrels to impart flavors of oak, vanillin and residual whiskey.

This beer is limited to  100 cases (1200 750ml bottles)

Jester King/Mikkeller Weasel Rodeo Released

Look for the 750 ml bottles in Texas, Alabama, and Denmark.

 

Bottles of Jester King / Mikkeller Weasel Rodeo have left our brewery and will begin making their way throughout Texas and to Denmark. We also sent a small amount to Alabama, along with several of our other beers, in celebration of the State’s long-awaited legalization of 750ml bottles, starting the first of this month.

Weasel Rodeo (10.1% ABV) is an unfiltered, unpasteurized, bottle conditioned Imperial Oatmeal Stout brewed with chipotle peppers, smoked malt and Vietnamese Kopi Luwak coffee and fermented with farmhouse yeast.

While some retailers in Texas should begin receiving Weasel Rodeo very soon, we ask for your patience as we rely upon a small, artisanal wine distributor to bring our beer to market.
