Jack's Abby (2018)

sad to be living outside MA this week

 

We always keep a few beers in the JABH cooler, even when we are open. When we release a beer, we keep it exclusive to our spot for the weekend before sending it over to JABH when we close on Sunday.

Hope this answers yr question... for a weekly update of our tap list, can availability etc you can check out: http://springdalebeer.com/on-tap/

 

Just gotta say, I had a pour of the 2013 coffee framinghammer Springdale is pouring straight from the barrel and it was crazy good. Coffee faded (expected) but was replaced by some beautiful rounded fruity notes. Combine that with it being uncarbonated and it drank like a light version of Utopias...in a splendid way. Highly suggested if find yourself at Springdale soon.

 

Had a sampling of the Mole Framinghammer today and picked up two bottles, really loved it. I don't recall being a huge fan of last year's Mole. Has the recipe slightly changed, or have my tastes? Who knows!

 

Any idea when the BA Framinghammer will hit distribution? I really like the barrel aged series but i'm not sure if i want to drive out to framingham just for beer.

 

it does, thank you. I'll be up on Tuesday

 

I just opened a 2015 PBJ Framinghammer tonight and it tastes unreal. Really smooth, and settled in nice.

 

What's the price on BA Framinghammer and the variants at the brewery?

 

$12/ea

 

The regular Bourbon Barrel Aged Framinghammer is $10. The others are $12.

 

Thanks, guys. I asked my boss for a 20% raise to keep up with beerflation, so we'll see how that goes.

 

CBC Belmont had Cordon Rouge, PB&J and Mole for $11.75, for what it's worth.

 

Question to the brewery...sorry if this has been asked before...

Why don't you post ABV on all of your bottles and cans? For example, I am looking at a Framinghammer and it tells me the OG but not the ABV. The OG is probably useful to very few people in comparison to ABV.

Not trying to sound snippy, just curious if there is a rational for it.

 

Unless we messed up this year, the non barrel aged version should be printed with 10% abv. The reason that we do not print ABV for the barrel aged versions is because we do not know the ABV ahead of time. In the past we printed the BA using the 10% of the base beer, but once our lab got sophisticated enough to test for ABV we found out that was wrong. All of our BA Framingahmmers have tested in the 11-13% abv range depending on the variety and year. We decided it was better not to print an ABV than possibly print the wrong one.

 

Thanks!

 

Picked up a 4 pack of the latest batch of Good N You last Friday after having it at the Beer Hall. The beer was cloudy as hell when I had it on draft and it's visually a different beer in this 4 pack I have. Still tastes pretty good, but interesting to see such a difference.

 

I love BA Framinghammer season. Have so far only had the PB&J from this year's batch, but it's always such a great group of beers.

 

Trying to look for BA Framinghammer. How's the variants this year?

 

My girlfriend and I visited the tasting room last weekend to try the BA Framinghammers. I have to say that cordon rouge was nice and the pb&j was very nice. Its awesome how different glasses can vary. For instance mine tasted like mostly rasberries w/ a hint of peanut butter while hers was the opposite. The others very slightly disappointing from last years. We ended up only buying bottles of pb &j.

Anyone know if they plan on releasing any more variants like cocoa-nut, graham crackers, etc?

 

"Additional brewery only releases will be available throughout April and May so stay tuned!"
