We're excited to introduce our lastest beer — Jester King Bière de Miel. Named after the classic style (honey beer), Jester King Bière de Miel was brewed, fermented, and naturally conditioned with raw, Texas wildflower honey. We 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 Bière 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, Bière de Miel spent approximately five months in a stainless steel tank slowly fermenting and maturing. With wild fermentation at our brewery, we don't always know when a beer will be ready. The analogy we 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. We give the microorganisms all the time they need, then they tell us when the beer is ready, not the other way around.

Our Bière de Miel is a dry, well-attenuated, unspiced farmhouse ale brewed and fermented with raw Texas wildflower honey. Naturally occurring yeast and bacteria impart a sense of place to this unfiltered, unpasteurized, 100% bottle conditioned beer.
