Jester King Autumnal Dichotomous is ready for release. The seasonal driven saison is brewed during the mentioned series, and oak aged until the brewery feels it is ready.
Autumnal Dichotomous (fall saison) is brewed with butternut squash and acorn squash, long pepper, and sage. Head brewer Garrett Crowell smoked the squash and peppers over oak staves.
“I’m very inspired by nostalgia, and the smell of burning leaf piles is perhaps my most nostalgic memory of fall. The subtle smoke and spice character in the beer reminds me of those dim-lit autumn afternoons, running through the neighborhood and the smell in the air.”
Jester King Autumnal Dichotomous was brewed in October, 2014, oak aged with local wild biota, and re-fermented long term in bottles and kegs. The beer will be available in 750ml bottles, starting on January 9th. Other seasonal based offerings include Jester King Estival Dichotomous, and HIbernal Dichotomous.

Evil Twin Brewery (Denmark) and Jester King Brewery (Austin, TX) have teamed up on a unique, barrel aged beer, World’s Worst Twin.
The beer is inspired by Evil Twin’s Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergso favorite coffee. Only, the brewers didn’t use coffee in World’s Worst Twin. Instead Jester King and Evil Twin used highly kilned malts were used in the mash. This imparted a roasty, chocolatey character, and Texas blueberries in the fermentation to provide some fruity notes and acidity. World’s Worst Twin was matured in oak barrels with native yeast and bacteria.
World’s worst twin is inspired by favorite coffee of our friend Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergso of Evil Twin Brewing. If we just added it to the beer, the subtle nuances of this delicate coffee would have been hopelessly lost. Rather, we sought to re-create it’s flavors and aromas in our own unique way through wild fermentation in oak barrels with blueberries and wort brewed with Rich toasty malts.
Jester King Evil Twin World’s Worst Twin will be available in 750ml bottles starting January 16th, at 4pm. Brewery release only. Those in Austin, Texas and catch Jeppe at Jester King for the release party.
Style: American Wild/Sour Ale (w/ Bluberries. Oak Aged.)

Lost Abbey’s Cuvee de Tomme will be draft-only this year. Some packaging restraints have prevented the beer from being released in bottles.
“We had a few packaging constraints near the end of this year so we just didn’t have the means to get Cuvee into bottles” said Tomme Arthur, Co-founder and Chief Operating Owner of The Lost Abbey. “But the good news is we’ll have more kegs and be able to spread the wealth to some territories that have never had it in years past.”
Lost Abbey Cuvee de Tomme is a blend of Judgement Day (quad with raisins) aged in bourbon, brandy, and red wine barrels with Brettanomyces yeast. Tart cherries also give the beer that little extra complexity. Tommy Arthur came up with the recipe in 1999.
A plus side to this packaging change – there will be more kegs for the brewery’s entire distribution network.
Style: American Wild Ale (w/ Raisins. Cherries. Barrel Aged. Bourbon, Brandy, Red Wine.)
Availability: Draft only (For 2014.)
