Jack's Abby Brewery

Thank you!

 

I was totally bummed, took a ride over on Sunday without checking hours first. Closed. D'oh!

On a neighborhood topic, when I was leaving the street there was a little old cocker spaniel running down the road with no collar/leash. I'm a big dog person (carry treats and leash with me in my car in case i come across lost dogs). Wasn't able to call it or catch it and almost saw it get hit by a car so i called the cops. I knocked on one of the doors of the white house on the corner to see if it was their dog and got a "GO THE F AWAY" yelled at me through the window. So, that was fun.

 

That part of Framingham is no bueno.

Anyways, Cranberry BA Berliner Lager came out today. Sounds delicious.

 

Is Framinghammer year round or is it seasonal? If seasonal, when does it hit the markets?

Lastly, do you bottle any of the BA Framinghammer for distro in CT?

 

Delicious Indeed

 

What's your point?

 

This certainly isn't anything that needs to be discussed on this thread, but his factual description of an event after visiting JA didn't have the slightest bit of judgment or commentary. I'm not sure why you're getting your feathers ruffled.

 

@Providence why did you remove the rest of your post?

 

That is very pretty. The cherry version was not as red-hued as this appears. I'm hopeful I can talk "us" into a road trip this Saturday and get me some...of this beer, I mean.

Hey, now...wait a second...I work for a cranberry company...hmmm...can I sell it as market research, so I can leave now???

 

Pretty sure this isn't the same as the 'Cherry Version' you're referencing... That was the Berliner BRAUN aged with Cherries, and this is their Berliner WEISSE aged with Cranberries. I would expect the Berliner Weisse with cherries (coming in next 1-2 weeks I think) to be lighter in color as well.

 

The cherry version that we released before was based off our Berliner Braun which was a darker beer. The beers we are releasing the next few weeks are barrel aged versions of our Berliner Weisse. The lighter base allowed it to pick up the colors.

Next week we are releasing the Cherry version. 10/29 will be the plum version. 11/5 we are releasing a blend of all three.

 

Right...my mistake with the similar names. Wasn't thinking. Thanks for catching that @WesFoxlove (and @JacksAbbyBrewing)

So these versions will all be growler only, correct? Any limits? Number of fellow beer fans/home brewers here in the labs are quite interested in the cranberry variant, but I don't think we can all make the trip. I did put the word out though

Love to try them all, but I suspect if I wait until the blend is available, the cran will be long gone.

 

They are all 32oz growler only and each will only be available for one week. If there is any left over of a variant it will be saved for events in the future.

 

I recognized I was being emotional and reactive. I wanted some clarification of why the story was relayed before I responded in such a way.

 

No judgment in that comment? Really? I interpreted it differently, which is why I asked my question. But you are right, there is no need to discuss this here.

 

@Providence I got it. I respect the passion even though it was premature.

 

I just read about Lager Ness Monster, a 15% abv Imperial Baltic Porter aging in bourbon barrels since spring and releasing (brewery only) in November. Sounds like a must have!

 

Double concoction mash on dat lager ness beast for all the brew geeks out there, cant wait to try it myself, though i must admit im eagerly awaiting an iced version, maybe we can get jack and the guys to fly out to de struise and make a monster ice blend of black albert and framinghammer? @JacksAbbyBrewing please?

 

holy shit @ that.

 

We just finalized dates for our next few releases.
