Jester King Commercial Suicide Release
June 11, 2015
We’re pleased to announce that our newest batch of Commercial Suicide Farmhouse Mild will be available on draught when our tasting room opens at 4pm on Friday, June 12th. Commercial Suicide, our take on a traditional English Mild Ale, is malty and dark in color, but retains the sessionability of its English counterpart. It was the first Jester King beer released to the public, way back in October 2010, and it has undergone many recipe and fermentation transformations over the past five years, as we moved from using English yeast, to farmhouse yeast, to our own unique mixed culture of native yeast and bacteria. This is our third mixed-culture batch of Commercial Suicide we’ve released, and the second batch fermented entirely in one of our French oak foudres.
Commercial Suicide is 2.9% abv, with a finishing gravity of 1.002, and was 3.37 pH at the time of bottling. Approximately 3,600 bottles were produced, and bottles will go on sale with no limit at our tasting room on Thursday, June 18th during the Alamo Drafthouse Rolling Roadshow at Jester King.
