97 Rating – Jester King Brewery – Ol' Oi
BC: What’s your favorite aspect of this beer (flavor, aroma, etc.)?
I think the lactic character is my favorite aspect. It somewhat pushes the boundaries of lactic acid in a beer for me, but ultimately, it presents itself as balanced.
BC: Where does this beer’s name come from?
We make a beer inspired by English Mild called Commercial Suicide. The label art has an English punk rock theme (think Sex Pistols). In some ways, Ol' Oi is the older, more mature version of Commercial Suicide. So we pictured an aging rocker and gave it the name "Ol' Oi" as a nod to the subgenre of Oi! music from the UK in the 70s.
BC: Can you describe this beer in 10 words or less?
Barrel-aged sour brown ale.
BC: Do you know a story – or have a personal story – that revolves around this beer?
Ol' Oi was one of the highlights of our first-ever sour beer event at Jester King (the original Funk n' Sour Fest). A lot has changed at Jester King since then, so Ol' Oi has a lot of sentimentality attached to it.
