Jester King/Mikkeller Weasel Rodeo Released

Jester King’s collaboration with Mikkeller – Weasel Rodeo has shipped this week according to the brewery. The beer 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.

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.

Evil Twin Asks What Beer Cowboys Drink

The Cowboy is a smoked pilsner from Evil Twin Brewing. Apparently Jeppe has taken to the life of a cowboy.

I need to know what kind of beer cowboys drink, as I have recently become one. I want to be the best cowboy  I can be, and I think drinking the correct beer is important. I already have a cowboy hat and nice big shiny buckle. 

Style: Pilsner (Smoked)
Availability: 22oz bombers
Arrival: TBA5.5% ABV

Brewdog Brews with Bacon & Blueberries

Ok, so it’s  a pilot beer for a pilot system but still sounds rocking.  The description of Lumberjack Breakfast Stout:

The beer we brewed was devised by Tim and is a Lumberjack Breakfast Stout. A decadent, indulgent and encapsulating malt base that benefits from the addition of oats and smoked malt in the mash tun. Generous amounts of blueberries and maple syrup was added to the kettle during the boil and we added some killer artisinal coffee at the end of the boil. Oh and we also added some bacon.

It tops out at 11% ABV.  [Brewdog]
