Jester King Boxer’s Revenge Farmhouse Provision Ale
Austin, TX – Jester King Craft Brewery is very pleased to announce the debut of Boxer’s Revenge Farmhouse Provision Ale this Saturday, January 29th at the brewery’s Grand Opening Celebration.
Boxer’s Revenge is the first of three authentic farmhouse ales brewed as part of Jester King’s year-round lineup. The others are Das Wunderkind!, a farmhouse “table beer”, and Cocksure, a hoppy, amber farmhouse ale inspired by the French tradition of bière de garde. Das Wunderkind! and Cocksure will be available in the coming months.
All three of Jester King’s year-round farmhouse ales are aged in oak wine barrels with wild yeast after undergoing an initial fermentation with French farmhouse yeast. After aging, the individual barrels are blended to taste.
Boxer’s Revenge is inspired by the hearty “stock ales” or “provision ales” produced by some of iconic farmhouse breweries located along the Franco-Belgian border and named in honor of the stalwart workhorse in George Orwell’s Animal Farm. It combines delicate notes of tropical fruit, citrus and spice from the primary French farmhouse yeast with tart, rustic, earthy notes from the Brettanomyces. A final dry-hopping with fresh Cascade and Centennial hops adds yet another layer of depth and complexity.
ABV 9% – IBU 23 – OG 1.076 – FG 1.008
Malt: French Pilsner, Pale Malt, Dark Wheat, Carapils, Caramunich
