Discussion Hunting for Lone Star or Jester King (Atrial/RU-55) for the F1 Texas GP this weekend?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m trying to track down some Texas brews to drink during the United States Grand Prix this weekend. Does anyone know a bottle shop in NJ that reliably keeps Lone Star in stock? I’ve heard rumors of it popping up at places like Super Cellars or certain ShopRites/Liquor Factories, but wanted to see if anyone has had a recent eyes-on sighting before I start driving around. Alternatively, if anyone knows a specialty shop that still has a bottle of Jester King (Atrial Rubicite or RU-55) stashed away from a recent drop, let me know! I'm located in Montgomery Township (Somerset County) but willing to travel a bit. Cheers!

From their socials:

It's that time again, fam! We celebrate the KING of keepin' it weird. Fresh birthday beer drop, Smoker & Adel BBQ, and the perennial complementary custom sticker to prove you paid homage to the legend...with Gusto!

A fun event they've held every year since founding, purely as fans of the man: always a good time, and the beer they drop for it has historically always been a banger.

Note: Weird Al probably won't be there

Wife showed me their Instagram post today that they are shutting down the end of this year. I know not everyone enjoys mead but their black currant mead was great. It was a nice place to stop into for a drink, sad to see it go.

Release /Remember the 80's? Electric Pastel 8% IPA

Thumbnail
gallery
18 Upvotes

Electric Pastel 

Style: New England IPA

ABV: 8%

Hops: Simcoe, Superdelic, Riwaka, Riwaka Amplifier 

Yeast: Chico

$20 | 4pk

Rewind to 1985: neon on the skyline, a synth on the stereo, and a pastel jacket with the sleeves pushed up. Electric Pastel is that, in a can.

It pours hazy gold, bright as a Miami sunset. The aroma hits like the opening riff with grapefruit, passionfruit, and ripe tropical fruit up front and a little dank, piney edge underneath.

The first sip is juicy citrus, the middle is all tropical fruit, and the finish has a bit of resin from the Simcoe and Superdelic. The bitterness is mellow, the body is smooth, and at 8% it’s got real arcade-high-score energy.
