    Polished off a bottle of Hoponious Union while having pizza. I forget how f-ing good this beer is. Kiwi Rising was awesome too. So can't wait for ABCS

    I have yet to have a beer by them that I don't thoroughly enjoy. Definitely one of my favorite breweries.

    I've got a couple Private Ryes and a Cascadian Schwarzbier on hand right now, but yeah, I like all their stuff.

    I totally agree. Hoponious Union really rocks. Wondered what an IPL would taste like. So glad I tried it. It was exceptional.

    ABCs is their double IPL that they've brewed. I personally can't wait to try it!

    Yea the Private Rye surprised me. Not a rye fan and was not expecting much but it was excellent. Only one i was not a huge of was Saxonator only because it tasted too much like a quad. But still a quality beer. Living in Mass and being able to pick up fresh bottles in shops less than 2 weeks old is awesome.

    Looking forward to BA Framinghammer plus Lawson's and DC Brau collabs

    Totally agree that Jack's Abby is great. Love Hoponius Union. Always a go to when nothing else catches my eye when shopping especially fresh. Kiwi Rising is excellent too. I didn't have enough of it when it was around. Looking forward to the ABCs as well. Sadly, the brewery is only about 20 minutes up the road from me and I haven't made the trip. Always wanted to try the Framinghammer Baltic Porter. It's only on tap though.

    Went to brewery once straight forward tasting room. Prices are better I think hop was like $3.99 and Kiwi was under $5 I think. If u follow FB page they update frequently. BA Framinghammer is to be bottled ABCS too as we'll as both Collabs are to be sold in Mass.

    Up until last night I had only had Jabby Brau. Hoponius Union and Smoke and Dagger both were on deck last night though. Awesome stuff.

    Being a lager fan more than ale, this brewery is a dream come true.
