(Williamsport, PA) – Bullfrog Brewery has scheduled to release a new sour ale in just a few weeks.

According to the brewery’s website: “Scheduled for release on the first Friday of May 2010, this sour red has been patiently maturing in oak barrels for 18 months and will be bottle conditioned a further 4 months prior to release.” The beer is named after the Frank Herbert novel, ‘The Santaroga Barrier,’ “a must-read for sci-fi – wild beer lovers” (per the label). The Jaspers will be packaged in 750 ml’s.

Available now:

Undead Ed: “Our wickedly hoppy Edgar IPA refermented with Brettanomyces yeast.”
French Kiss Saison: “As a lover of saisons I felt it necessary to brew its french counterpart, the Biere de Garde, full of luxurious richness with an aroma akin to candied apples. The palette is full of expressive malt yet finishes dry and spicy with dashes of tartness from the yeast. 7.2% abv.”

Coming July 2nd:

El Diablo Deluxe: “Scheduled for release on the first Friday of July 2010. This beer started out as my ‘el Diablo’ ,a Belgian-inspired golden ale aged on French oak chips, but will be transformed in the bottle with the help of 3 strains of Brettanomyces yeast and an additional 6 months of aging in our cellars. 8% abv.”
