Jester King to release Atrial Rubicite

How dare you use the imperative with our King?? All kidding and opinions of Perry aside, he did do a photo opp. with Shiner Premium recently.

 

Didn't see a thread about this yet. Heard about it on the most recent episode of the Beerists Podcast, where they were sampling it and all the hosts' minds seemed blown away by this beer. Supposed to be a very limited release and I hope to be able to try this!!



"We’re excited to announce our latest beer – Atrial Rubicite. Back in February of this year, we added several hundred pounds of raspberries to oak barrels containing mature sour beer. We then allowed the beer to re-ferment to dryness. The result is Atrial Rubicite, our first barrel aged sour beer to incorporate fruit.

Atrial Rubicite is made from well water, barley, wheat, hops, farmhouse yeast, native yeast from the Texas Hill Country, souring bacteria and raspberries. It’s 5.8% alcohol by volume, has a finishing gravity of 1.005 and is 3.36 pH. It is unfiltered, unpasteurized and 100% bottle conditioned. Atrial Rubicite is our first beer to be packaged exclusively in 500 ml bottles. The label art by Josh Cockrell is pictured below.



As of now, there’s been no release date set. We’re hoping that Texas law will soon change to make it legal for us to have an official release at our brewery. If the law changes, we’ll schedule a brewery release sometime soon.

As we mentioned, Atrial Rubicite is our first barrel aged sour beer to incorporate fruit. It won’t be the last. We love taking fruit that is highly aromatic and flavorful and fermenting it to dryness, so that the beer is imbued with the rich character of the fruit but is devoid of sweetness. With time we plan on developing a robust program of barrel aged sour beer with fruit. Eventually, we also hope to re-ferment our 100% spontaneous coolship beer with fruit."

I'm ready to try this

 

This stuff looks so good. I must acquire it to fulfill my whorish raspberry demeanor.

 

Looks very promising!

 

Seems about the same time as the ba scotch Boris release, anyone wanna trade

 

Yet again, a Texas release thread gets shunted out of Beer News and down into the ghetto of the Southwest forum.

 

Maybe if it were a taproom only release, like that Schlafly release in Beer News last week, then it would make it.....

Oh, wait.

 

Ridiculous that it keeps getting moved. People in other areas are obviously interested as that one was started by someone not even in the southwest. Really don't understand this....

 

2 of the 3 threads started about it in Beer Releases so far have been started by non-TX BA's. This is getting ridiculous.

 

Maybe it should have been started in beer releases not beer news?

 

Maybe the mods of this site do not like TX? Some people in this world still think that Texas is the wild west. I know that the "Texas secede from the SW forums" thing wasn't favorably looked at.

 

You're right, and it was. I said the wrong name (didnt take 2 secs to proof-read my own post!)

 

WAIT Texas is capable of releasing a beer???? seriously?? I need to see proof of this sir!

 

Well, that was a fun 5 pages to catch up on after vacation. Looking forward to this release. Also looking forward to our semi-regular bottle shares.

 

Beer News, Beer Releases, whatever. Not like I know where it was moved from. It wasn't started here, though.

 

I will be your huckle(rasp)berry finn. See what I did there?

 

Please do!

 

Lets DO THIS! JEFF GET THIS TO MY STOMACH NOW!

 

I'll likely be changing up what I said I would bring to the JK bottle share this coming Saturday to a couple of Cigar City growlers, don't hate me. Really looking forward to this!
