SPON Chenin Blanc

Chenin Blane grapes from our friends at Field Recordings Winery in Paso Robles, California were added to two-year-old, barrel-aged spontaneously fermented beer. The grapes were re-fermented to total dryness prior to natural conditioning.

For Jester King SPON, we mix water from our well with local grains in a turbid mash, boil the wort for hours with aged hops from the attic of our barn, chill the wort overnight in our coolship, 100% spontaneously ferment the beer with native yeast and bacteria, and mature it for years in oak barrels before blending and natural refermentation in the bottle. The resulting beer is a unique reflection of the Texas Hill Country, the ecology of the Texas winter, and the people of Jester King. Show Less
