Jack's Abby Framinghammer variants

Framinghammer variants are not being released until mid to late April.

 

What's the availability like for these? I've only ever gotten them in trades

 

So what you're saying is that I've got like 6-8 weeks to drink, share, gift, or trade any of 'em I've got left from last year. I'm on it.

Any NEW variants to look forward to next month? This year?

 

Is there any truth to the rumor that they will be "brewery only" releases? I hope not. Hard to make it your way with work, kids, life in the way....

 

Last year a few made distro but not all the variants. If I remember correctly regular, vanilla and coffe hit distro but the rest were brewery only. Not sure if that's the case again this year.

 

My beer store Owner was told by a distributor that from now on all variants would be brewery only. I always liked getting the ones you mentioned locally in the past.

 

Hey @JackAbbyBrewing what's the skinny on the TrIPL release today? (sorry don't want to hijack this thread but didn't want to start a new one just for this)

 

We are planning on sending the BA, Vanilla and Coffeee varieties out for distribution. Cocoa-Nut and PB&J will be brewery only.

As for the TrIPL, it will be out today at the brewery in bottles and growlers.

 

For some reason I thought that this wasn't getting released this year, or at least not at its normal time. Great news!

 

I'm curious as to why JA doesn't come to Rhode Island. I'm sure I've asked you this before, sorry to be a pain. Honestly it's not that big of a deal, as I am in both Mass and CT regularly and can grab your stuff with ease. However, I can't help but wonder what the issue is. Not enough craft interest in RI? Distributors being punks? Licensing agreements or other legal mumbo jumbo I'm not privy to?

 

I'm in neighboring states as well and can take the trip to the brewery for limited releases, but man I would love to be at my local bar and have a draft Hoponius available.

 

There is a good chance we will have the TriPL. We are also releasing our 3x dry hopped Hoponius Union next week.

 

I got to try the Vanilla last year and it was so nice, I´ll definitely try to get more.
It was a perfect vanilla beer without going over the top like so many do.
The bourbon was strong but if you let it warm up the vanilla balanced it out nicely.

Now, PB&J sounds like a riot.

 

I might be in the minority, but PB&J was my favorite variant! Was sure to stock up on that one when it was available last year at the brewery.

 

I'm with you there. Love it. I thought I stocked up but now find myself out, glad it's being released again soon.

 

I am torn between it and Cocoa-Nut...sip one, mmmm, that's the one. Sip the other, mmmm, no that's the one. Repeat.

 

Glad these are all coming out again. Couldn't decide which one was best. Each one I tried was my favorite until I opened the next one. Would probably say coffee was my favorite overall.

 

However, as opposed to most stouts I need to drink PB&J cold. If I am nursing it, those last few sips as it warms are sickeningly sweet IMO. Cocoa-Nut probably takes the title for me.
