Real Ale’s “Research & Development” program releases first two projects BLANCO, TX, October 18, 2012 – Real Ale Brewing Co. is pleased to announce the introduction of their BREWERS’ CUT series of craft beers. The brewing team at Real Ale will be researching and developing new recipes to be brewed and released in small batches throughout the year. Real Ale plans to gather feedback and opinions about the beers via social media. This input from consumers and retailers will be used to determine if a particular beer will return for another Brewers’ Cut appearance, or perhaps move into a regular seasonal or full-time Real Ale Brewing Co. offering. These limited edition special releases will be available on draft and in 12 oz. bottles. Some releases will be in a 6-pack configuration and others in a 4-pack, depending on the beer style. The first release is Signature Hop Pale Ale, an American Pale Ale featuring the German hop variety HERKULES. The second release is Black Quadrupel, a Belgian style with Black Belgian malt. Next up in the Brewers’ Cut series will be a Dry-Hopped Porter and Imperial Red Ale. http://www.BrewersCut.com http://www.facebook.com/BrewersCut About Real Ale Brewing Company: Founded in Blanco, Texas in 1996 in the basement of an antiques store, the Real Ale Brewing Company has grown into the 45th largest craft brewery in the country, despite only selling its beer in Texas.

drinking some of the Quad- very very tasty stuff! ..gonna lose a few bottles in the back of my fridge for a couple of years.
Spec's, some HEB's and the better bottle shops around Austin is the only place I've seen them. I'm sure they're all over San Antonio since it's a Real Ale release. Seems to be a good amount...shouldn't be too hard to find
I'm not that in tune with Real Ale's distro but I'm sure Specs in Houston will have it at some point. The Specs in the Austin area have plenty...
no way... never heard of these brewer's cut beers who makes em? when do they come out? word on the street is that they are putting out a blue wit and a stale-hop pils just tellin ya what i heard
The Pale Ale is The BEST real Ale I Have Had. I Was Honestly Surprised By It. Have Yet To Try The Quad
First I have heard of this. I have not seen any of it Houston shops yet but I will be looking for the black quad.
So, anyone willing to pick up some black Quad and bring it to La Muerta Day if we don't see it in Houston by then? Please, please pretty please?
picked up both today at heb in cypress, had 2 of the pale ale and was satisfied w/it. actually, the first sip and smell reminded me of new belgium's Dig. i love me some Dig in the late spring/early summer but after a few more sips, the herkules did not measure up to Dig's Nelson hops. i am going to have a black quad later, hoping that is a winner as i would like this series to be good.
Drinking my second Mysterium beer of the the week. First was Shipwrecked, now is Scots Gone Wild. Both have been good, but Scots is excellent. Rye-on-Rye soured. PLEASE do this often! Bottles+
I love Scots Gone Wild. This series is a step in the right direction... they need to be as creative in their bottled beers as they are with their draft and seasonal releases. Now someone get these guys some more barrels so they can make us 750mL bottles of the Mysterium series. Better yet make them 375mL... cork and cage them... charge $10 each... and we can pretend that we're drinking Russian River.
Why have i not heard of this Real Ale Quad!!!! NEED! WANT! FIND!!! lol, for whatever reason, belgians are becoming my go to beer over my stouts and porters lately. Tripels and Quads specificly.
I put Scots close to Boxers. Highlighted the barrels I think a bit more than Boxers but lacked the awesome grass Saison-ish notes. Hopefully when you combine the MV and Brewers Cut releases we have another established brewer flexing the boundaries of the Texas landscape.
Ok.. I need the Quad... must get some. I love Real Ale... one of my favorite Texas breweries... the 16th Anniversary is so, so good.
Nom nom nom... Second today, actually... Draught House had it on tap. It's VERY good stuff! Upfront it has a very traditional Quad taste but a very malt-centric backend. I'm getting a few to sit down before it runs out... it'll be interesting to see how this changes over time. Can't wait for the next release which includes an Imperial Red! My favorite beer style, yes please!
Tried both recently. The Pale Ale was okay, but honestly I think Rio Blanco is better. I think the Quad will be wonderful with some age on it. Definitely tasted young, and I'm not a big fan of young quads.
I picked up the Pale today at HEB in Friendswood... they did not have the Quad.. which of course is what I really want the most.
