    When our tasting room opens this Friday, February 26th at 4pm, we'll be releasing our latest blend of RU55 Barrel Aged Sour Red Ale! This will be our first release of RU55 in nearly two years. A portion of our latest blend was aged in the sherry barrels that previously contained JK/Trois Dames/Crooked Stave Cerveza Sin Frontera. 4,800 bottles available. $16/750ml. No bottle limit.

    If anyone is wondering what no limit is looking like out here I've seen multiple people escorted by staff with a dolly of 3-4 cases.

    You're going to have better luck asking @jesterkingbeer
    I've heard a high % but will wait for the 100% correct answer.

    I'll be out there tonight after 8 PM with some out of towners on their first visit to JK!

    It was pretty nuts watching the cases get hand trucked off today.

    RU-55 was excellent though. Thanks for sharing the Trillium and HF @ReedRothcild82 really cool of you. Great meeting you.
