    I went looking for this and I'm not finding it. Ron tweeted a picture of an old label stuck on something (with other old labels) after having a tweet conversation with someone about brewing IPAs with brett and how Lupulo was their attempt at that. I'm not finding anything relating to them making a new batch.

    I want all of the JP beers. I missed many back when I thought that beer sucked........... because at the time.................. "Bud" was beer. I'm so ashamed!:slight_frown:

    Been trying to make up for lost time.

    LOS VIVOS Y LOS MUERTOS

    Jolly Pumpkin Artisan Ales — Dexter, MI

    We’re proud to bring you a very special one-off beer brewed exclusively for members of The Rare Beer Club by one of our favorite breweries, Jolly Pumpkin, and its founder and brewer, our friend Ron Jeffries. This is the third Jolly Pumpkin exclusive that we’ve had the pleasure of featuring in recent years, the others being Bière de Goord in 2010 and Lúpulo de Hielo in 2011, both really superb efforts. Los Vivos y Los Muertos is yet another standout brew, and – brewed as a pumpkin lime saison – it certainly represents the creativity Jolly Pumpkin is known for. Now, Ron might manage to squirrel a couple cases away to sell at his brewpubs, but outside of that, this is a beer that is being released solely to members of The Rare Beer Club.
    Los Vivos y Los Muertos is mouthwatering from the pour. It’s a deep golden orange, hazed like a saison should be, with a billowing white head. Aromas include deep stone-fruit notes (of peach and plum) and the vigorous citrus of a lime wedge, all mingled within an expansive Brettiness and yeast character: light tropical fruits, pepper, sourdough bread, a hint of cheese. The texture is simply perfect: medium body with a light viscosity, prickly carbonation underneath and a nice firm edge from the oak tannins. The peppery phenolics add a fair bit of bitterness, overall giving this what would generally be described as a “rustic” feel in saisons – tempered by the beer’s slight viscosity and roundness, though one wouldn’t describe this as a malty beer. Hops offer mineral and pine-like qualities, along with soft tannins and peppery bitterness. After the initial wave of bitterness breaks: rounder notes of dough and fresh bread, vanilla hints gravitating toward the tannins, ripe peaches and pear. Finally, a juicy drop of lime near the finish. (And the pumpkin? It quietly fermented.)

    Only $46.95 to join for one month and get one bottle (and a bottle of whatever the other 'featured beer' is) :rolling_eyes:
    I'll just hope he has them on hand at the Sobre GR release.
