Founders Rübæus (2013)

Found some in Illinois today. Looking forward to having some tonight.

 

Picked up a couple four packs today in Peoria. Paid ~$12 or so per 4pk.

 

Who in the why in the hell would ANYBODY get half a sandwich if it's only $1.50 less? Jeez. I could understand $5.50 or something, but... I'll take that Rubin's Reuben.

 

I've kept an eye out for it but haven't come across any yet. (as recently as Monday - hoping it's made its way to shelves since then.)

oh and not sure if this beer guy was referring to all of MA or his store in particular, but the bit about Founders beers rolling in a month or two after the initial release is garbage.

 

It's sitting on shelves here in Georgia and am pretty surprised that its not moving at all...been there for at least a week and looks like they've been sitting on a couple of cases. Will try tomorrow for sure since they are actually open all day tomorrow. God bless 'Merica.

 

This beer is awesome. Hoping to see it at more places in MA.

 

Lol I've always thought the same thing, but Iyhink tge real philosophy is why wouldn't somebody get the wjole sandwich for only $1.50 more?
Actually they're pretty large, so I sometimes get the half because why pay $1.5 more if Im not going to eat it all.

That being said... The Devil Dancer sandwich is the way to go... unless they have their Dirty Bastard soaked brats that day!

 

I had the prelim batch at the brewery and it was fantastic!! I like Cerise though, so don't listen to my ass.....

 

Just snagged a 4 pack at Naperville Binny's for $13. Should be a good beer for all levels of beer drinkers tomorrow I'd think. Looking forward to trying this one. Definitely a handful of stores in the suburbs splitting these into single bottles with some limits of 1 or 2 bottles. Not really sure it warrants that, but we'll see. I must say that I'm incredibly impressed by the bottled date of one week ago. Kudos Founders!

 

I didn't care for this. It was a bit sweet and not much going on other than the raspberry flavor. It's not bad, mind you, just not my style. Pretty one-dimensional.

 

I saw this in several stores a few weeks ago, not sure if it's all moved by now or not. I'd never heard of it before seeing it and it honestly didn't sound appealing at all at the time and it still doesn't. I would suppose that my bias against Cerise has something to do with it but I would like to take the opportunity to mention that the bartender at Founders brewpub suggesting a Cerise and Porter blend was a wonderful idea. Maybe a suggestion to any of you with some rubaeus and porter in your fridge.

 

i saw it in CT earlier this week but i was a bit unsure about a fruit beer - however now I'm pretty excited for it and I'll have to pick some up!!

 

I agree. I'm surprised that there aren't more mixed results on this one. I usually heart everything Founders does, but this one, to me, just tasted like a fruit malternative. I guess I just prefer fruit beers to be super duper tart. But I do love it when great brewers try unconventional brews. Brew on!

 

I grabbed a 4 pack in NH on July 3rd. The store received it that day. They also had Devil Dancer. I bought a single to try it. Kinda pricey...

I tried the Rubaeus and thought it was pretty fantastic.

 

Holy raspberry! This stuff is great accompanied by the warm weather. Got it for around $11 here in STL.

 

Picked up a 4pk yesterday. Having one for breakfast to get the holiday started off appropriately. Delicious.

 

This reminds me a lot of New Glarus Raspberry Tart without all the caramel. I like it but it's not blowing me away. It is very refreshing for a hot day and it's going down very quickly...

 

I loved it. We only got a case to our store so I was limited to two bottles, but a guy broke up a pack so I got two more. Only one left now. Damn it's good.

 

I liked the Cerise, for a fruit beer I thought was awesome. Will definetly try this one also. Those little mini me hands would make mine look so BIG!
