Hey there! We’re back with another installment of the infamous Jar of Destiny Homebrewing Challenge. This time, it’s Pick #13 for our ongoing series. As always, the Jar provides us a path with a random beer style to brew within the next three months. We try to figure out our plan, then brew it up, bring it back to the studio to share our thoughts on camera.

Here’s lucky 13!

23E – Gueuze

Here’s a style that I may have put back if I didn’t have some old sour ale sitting in my basement. The Jar knows what’s up. I have around 10 gallons of sour beer that can be used to blend. Time to get the sour beer equipment out and ready again. It’s been a while. In a few months, I can have a fresh sour beer finished and ready to be mixed with some of the older beers. It’s going to be a funky good time.

3C – Czech Amber Lager

Mike is pumped for this pick. This is a style that he has been interested in lately, with several local breweries offering their own takes. Who are we to deny the lager love? This pick seems perfect for the winter season, offering a crisp, balanced malt profile with a hint of spicy character. Mike has had a few lager picks during this challenge. I look forward to seeing and drinking what he comes up with.

Ever Onward

We’ll be sure to read up on these styles in the coming months. March might seem like a long way off, but trust us, it’ll be here before you know it. That’s the magic (or should we say, chaos?) of the Jar of Destiny!

In the meantime, thanks for joining us on this brewing journey. We dodged the dreaded “bad style” this time around, phew! As always, feel free to leave a comment below and let us know which style you’re more excited about. As we wrap up 2024, Happy Holidays and cheers to a brew-tastic 2025!

Cheers and Brew on!
