Jack's Abby (2018)

Tedy Peanut butter is not cheap, unless you get it at Market Basket, then its like half the price ($2.50 each)! I actually am fairly certain they have used Tedy peanut butter in past versions too.

Now I am hungry.

 

Yes, at the brewery. Apparently 3 pricing tiers:

• Bourbon & Brandy: $8
• Vanilla & Coffee: $10
• PBJ, Cocoa-Nut, & Mole: $12

 

I've always wondered why Night Shift hasn't had a high profile Teddy Peanut Butter related beer*. Or maybe they have and I missed it.

As for the BA Jack's Abby, as good as they are, I almost find it hard to pull the trigger on them considering a 4 pack of the straight Framinghammer is only $10 and I've never really done anything in life to deserve better than that.

*ETA: for those who haven't been there Teddy is right across the street from NS

 

I'd say this was a typo, but the "2" is nowhere near the "0" on most keyboards.

 

Stopped by after work. I can confirm it's $12 for the PBJ, Cocoa-Nut and Mole. Oh well, didn't stop me. I love Jack's Abby and the BA Framinghammers too much.

Also, I stand corrected on my previous post. They did have regular BA Framinghammer in the cooler.

 

Same here! $12 on the Mole is worth it for me. The PBJ & Cocoa-Nut I was less reluctant to pull the trigger on, but I did end up grabbing one of each.

 

So glad JA started printing canned dates on HU 12 packs! 4/8/16 batch is tasting awesome. Had a few Feb batches recently and they were good. But forgot how good HU is good fresh. Thanks JA

 

How are all the variants looking; do they expect to last through the weekend?

 

I stopped into Jack's Abby for the second time in the last two weeks. The first time I just popped in to buy bottles. Tonight I sat down and had a flight and some food. I have to say the food is really good. The pretzel, scallops with risotto, buffalo chicken pizza, and chicken wings were all very good. The scallops were the best of the bunch. Sweet and well prepared.

I tried the Double BA, Cordon Rouge, Blood Orange Leisure Time, Cuvee D'Bandwagon, and 3x Hoponius. They were all very good but I thought the Cordon Rouge was outstanding. I left with some PB&J, Mole, and Cocoa Nut along with a growler of Blood Orange Leisure Time.

The cooler was well stocked with all the variants but it's hard to know how much they have left. I did call before I went tonight and asked if they had enough variants for the next day or so and she said yes.

 

BA Framinghammers landed in Hartford County today. I'm really hoping to get up to the brewery for some Cocoa-Nut and PB&J. Any update on the availability of the brewery-only bottles?

 

They were all in the cooler as of Wednesday night. Not sure how many remain past that, but I was able to buy a mixed case with no limits on any of the beers.

3X Dry Hopped Hoponious Union on for growlers too at just $16 for 64 oz. Looking forward to drinking that one.

 

Alright, I'll bite: WTF is a German IPL? A German pils with British/American hops? An IPA with noble hops? A Prima/Pivo pils knockoff (which would be a welcome addition to the lineup btw)?

 

Pilsner Malt and hopped with Huell Melon and Mandarina Bavaria to our IPL level.

 

Recipe sounds familiar - There was a brewery exclusive beer brewed once at Morton st with that hop combo - same beer? I remember enjoying a pint in the taproom.

 

Joint Custody?

 

oh the Otter Creek collab. Maybe I'm thinking of that but I thought they've used those hops in a one-off brewery exclusive at some point...may be dreaming it

 

Making my way to the brewery tonight before going to New Jersey to visit my father for the weekend. My SO wants to buy a ton of the sours for herself, but does anyone know of any bottle limits regarding those?

 

Don't think there are any limits, at least there were not when I was there Tuesday.

 

A ton of what sours? Only the cranberry berliner is available unless I'm missing something.
