In quite a cryptic email, Jester King says last month they added 2,000 lbs of raspberries from Washington state to oak barrels with a ‘wild, sour beer.’ No indication was provided of what this beer was, is, or will be, just that it happened. They aren’t sure how it will turn out or when it will be bottled but “if all goes well, we’ll be able to release our first fruited barrel-aged, sour beer sometime later this year.” Stay tuned for more details…
March 2nd 2013 will mark the official release of White Monkey just in time for their 17th anniversary. Chardonnay barrels from Wente Vineyards in CA were used with Golden Monkey happily hibernating inside them for the past 3 months. There will only be approximately 2,800 cases of 750 mL corked and caged bottles available throughout Victory’s distribution area.
“Our Golden Monkey is beloved by many, so we anticipate some heartfelt responses to our intriguing transformation of this beer,” expressed Victory brewmaster Bill Covaleski. “The wine barrel aging has had a substantial and delicious impact on the Golden Monkey.”
In conjunction with the launch of this beer on March 2nd, Victory will be opening their brewpub at 8am for a special breakfast fit to be paired with both Golden Monkey as well as White Monkey. Case and bottle purchases will also begin at 8 am.

“Quickly came the man of wisdom who should charm the blood from flowing and should still the pain by magic. Flow thou not, O blood, like water; still thee, blood, of life the honey; wherefore thus they source o’erfowing, breaking thus the bonds that hold thee? Let the blood as stone be hardened, firm as oak-tree let it stiffen; in the stone-like veins around it, let the blood be stanched O Taara!”

Kaleviopeog translates to Kalev’s son and refers to an epic poem from Estonia about a giant that helped form the lands and battled giants from other neighboring countries.
