INTRODUCING HIGHLORDE FARMHOUSE IPA . . When we open at 4pm this Thursday, we'll be debuting a brand new beer called Highlorde Farmhouse IPA! Highlorde is our take on an American-Style India Pale Ale. It was brewed with natural, unfiltered well water, Texas malted barely from Blacklands Malt, small amounts of wheat, rye, oats, and spelt, and Millennium, Simcoe and Amarillo hops. It was fermented in stainless steel with our mixed culture of brewers yeast and native yeast and bacteria. Prior to packaging, it was dry hopped with Amarillo and Simcoe. Finally, it was 100% naturally conditioned through referemtation in kegs. . . Our motivation behind Highlorde is to make somewhat of a new take on Wytchmaker Farmhouse Rye IPA, which is one of our oldest beers (initially released in 2010). Our desire in 2019 is to make a new farmhouse IPA with a lower ABV and less dominant specialty malt character. However, we still wanted it to retain a firm bitterness and fruity hop flavor and aroma. . . Highlorde is only 4.4% ABV and finishes at 1.003 specific gravity (0.75 Plato). It's bone dry, bitter, has nice aromatics, and is very drinkable in our opinion. As we've stated many times over the years, we like bitter beer. Our inspiration comes from beers like De Ranke XX Bitter and De la Senne Zinnebir, which have a pronounced bitterness. If Jester King is going to do our take on American-style IPA, it is going to be bitter. . . Another thing that's a little different with Highlorde is that we've decided to make it draft only, at least for now. Unlike a lot of our beers which depend on time and patience, we believe it's best to drink Highlorde fresh. All our beer is wild, and given enough time, you'll start to see funkiness and tartness begin to develop. . . #jesterking #highlorde #farmhouse #ipa #beer #austin #texas #wellwater #texasmalt #blacklands #wildbeer #nativeyeast #draftbeer #kegconditioned #timeplacepeople
