(Austin, TX) – Jester King Craft Brewery got two new label approvals this week.
First, Jester King Ol’ Oi Barrel-Aged Sour Brown Ale is already available in 750s at the brewery (but the label approval shown here is a requirement before the beer can leave the state).
Per the Jester King website…
In Britain, what started out as young or “mild” dark ale was once aged in oak barrels to make something that was likely similar to sour brown ales of East Flanders. Using a similar base recipe to Commercial Suicide Dark Mild, Ol’ Oi is Jester King’s tribute to that tradition.

Omniscience and Proselytism, meanwhile, has not yet released.
Per the 500ml bottle label, “Strawberries from Fredericksburg, Texas, were added to oak barrels containing mature sour beer. The beer was then allowed to referment to dryness. Blend One from July 2013.”
This message is either a joke or a TTB requirement: “The name Omniscience and Proselytism does not refer to any claims of inducing omniscience.”
More to come…
