Jester King to release Atrial Rubicite

Remove Matt really. Kevin and Seth found "the greatest spot for a bottle share ever in the history of everything... Except when Kevin's skin burns because the sun is an evil mother". Matt, that guy is just an OG tag along.

 

I did not know that! Props to Kevin and Seth. Boo on you Matt. Actually this is one area I can't talk shit to you. Thanks for organzing the C&G bottle share. Ahhhhhhhhhh...there I said it, I'm cringing right now. Mark it down you'll never hear me say that to you again. Not on here at least

 

lol, it was so cloudy that day. Have you heard how he fared this last time with all the sunscreen... and the umbrellas?

 

I used to try and organize BA bottle shares, but couldn't garner much interest, even when I tried really really hard. This was of course a different time, because it was '09 and we didn't have nearly the following that we do now. Decided organizing a beer festival was a better idea, and I'm glad we did it. If not for that, working full time and going to school full time, I'd probably be organizing public tastings once a month or something. Organizing events is something I really enjoy.

You know what? I think I just figured out why no one organizes public bottle shares; it's just the work involved. We have a "built in" group of people coming to events like Freetail's bottle releases, which are already planned so they happen organically. Interesting.

 

But it can be done. We just started a new tasting group for BA's in the N.Austin/Round Rock area who didnt want to truck all the way into Austin for the regular shares there. Been around 6-8 of us so far, which is a great size, and we're already planning our 3rd get together in the last 3 months. Yes, there's work involved, and people have to be willing to commit to the planning part, but its a hell of a lot of fun when it comes together.

 

Thank you sir! It has always been open tastings at my house(The big one in december was almost too big).Just like Air said , send him or I a message and we go from there. These things happen on Saturday most of the time from 5 tilll you pass out. I will explain the rules in pm if you are ever interested.

 

I actually remember that. I know a large part of the problem is finding a place that will accept us followed by people willing to make the drive. One of these days I'll open up my house to everyone. Its not huge but when you think about it what do we do at bottle shares? Stand around and drink. I have plenty of room for that and I may even be able to provide food depending on the turn out or lack thereof. I still think people will be hesitant due to being in MckInney but there really is no perfect place for everyone in DFW.

Also, you won't have to tip me

 

Currently waiting for BA rule #13 to kick in.

 

So you don't want the tip this time?


We need more C&G sized places or a Hotel/Motel/Holiday Inn (second time in the past month) to host us and discount rooms to a reasonable rate.

 

Jeff,

Bring some to San Francisco!

This is exciting news!

 

Let me know if you need a place to stay. I have a 2 bedroom within walking distance of Central Market Westgate.

 

Thanks! <3

 

You also had that assurbanipaul dude fighting your every step for some reason? I am in Houston, so I have never been able to attend any event in Dallas. Though I remember that guy shitting all over the idea of a bottle share there. Which sucks cause I know he has a ton of knowledge, especially on Texas breweries. Though for what ever reason, kind of anti social.

 

Clearly Dallas went through a funk, now in the past year and a half the beer scene has been resurrected like you know who because of a small group of peeps. Bring that city back to the promise land boys.

 

We cant say as much about the Mavericks and Cowgirls!

 

can you dweebs start another thread about yr bottle orgies and leave this one to AR? Thanks in advance.

I've had AR out of the 500mL bottle and though it lacked the same carb shown in Jeff's pic, it was very exceptional

 

You cant tell us what to do from Arizona, I mean come on. On a serious note, where did you have the AR?

 

I hope Atrial Rubicite and Viking Metal aren't brewery only releases. I am a huge JK fan, but I can't find it in California so I trade for it with a regular Houston partner. If AR and Viking Metal are brewery only, it'll suck trying to trade for it. I got a good thing going with my Houston partner and I know that "brewery only" means I'm gonna have to start a trade with someone else, hope to get a fair trade and give up bottles I'd normally send my trade partner. Brewery only releases in states as big as Texas suck for the loyal guys outside of Austin. Or in my case, outside the state with trading partners outside Austin. It's not worth it for some to drive 3+ hours to get beer, but that doesn't mean they're not loyal customers, while others may just hold their "brewery only" release hostage.

In case it's brewery only, ISO: AR and Viking Metal. BM me

 

Thanks.

Atrial Rubicite bottle conditioned to 2.8 volumes of CO2. It's been holding steady there for a few weeks.

Now that its being referred to as AR, I must have a bottle. I love ARs ;-)
