The next Reserve Series brews will be released simultaneously. The brewery brags they are the best they’ve made to date. They are:
Fathead: was aged in barrels that had already been used by Black Betty in an attempt to take the alcohol bite down just a notch or 2 – and it worked fantastically. We’re still completely amazed and extremely pleased – these will launch and be gone in an instant.
BA Hop God: Is a Belgian IPA with some barrel aging.
Release dates to be announced soon…

Jolly Pumpkin (Dexter, MI) has teamed up with The Rare Beer Club and Shelton Brothers to bring a special release benefiting Pints For Prostates. Lúpulo de Hielo is an oaky, pumpkin sour beer.
Lúpulo de Hielo was brewed with pumpkin, cacao and spices, then aged in oak barrels. The name means ‘Ice Hop’ and is as hoppy as it is sour. Aged for about a year in oak and blended with Calabaza Blanca.
“We are excited to once again be involved with the Pints for Prostates campaign in reaching men through the universal language of beer.” – Ron Jeffries, President Jolly Pumpkin.
A portion of the proceeds of each bottle sold will be donated to Pints For Prostates. Rare Beer Club will donate a $1.00 for every bottle shipped.
“This is a rare beer that delivers an important message. We want men to take charge of their health and get screened for prostate cancer,” said Rick Lyke, a prostate cancer survivor who founded Pints for Prostates after successful prostate cancer surgery in April 2008. “We’re thrilled that Jolly Pumpkin, The Rare Beer Club and Shelton Brothers are supporting the campaign in a way that will catch the attention of men needing to hear our message. We want to engage men in a conversation that might just save their lives.”
How To Get Lúpulo de Hielo:
Prostate cancer will claim 33, 700 lives in 2011. Prostate cancer is 33% more common in men than breast cancer is in women. The Jolly Pumpkin Lúpulo de Hielo release is part of the Pints for Prostates Oktoberfest for a Cure observance that is taking place from Aug. 26 to Oct. 22 at venues across the U.S. [Via Press Release]
