    Pleasantly surprised! I had Abrewsia and Hell Mellon in the past and both were solid. Just picked up The Little Brother DIPA and its tasty! Citra and Simcoe done right. I always pass it up on shelves because most of it is out of date or close to it. This was bottled Dec 23. Great beer!

    Everything I've had from Brewmaster Jack has been excellent an this latest go-around with smaller bottles has been well done. I believe they've signed on with a smaller distributor in MA as well, which might help 'distribute' their beers a bit better. Looking forward to this!

    Burke is their new distributor. Not exactly a small one.
    It's interesting though that it's happened. In the past Tyler was very much against signing with any distributor.

    I just picked up a 12/23 bottle of the Little Brother IPA yesterday that had just come off the distributer's truck. Brewmaster Jack (Tyler) may want to know that his product sat for awhile - 3 weeks till it got delivered. Looking fw to trying it tho!

    Picked a bottle of this up today at Julio's. I really like Ambrewsia so I'm excited to give this a go!

    Hoppiness is a Warm Pun is probably my favorite BJ beer to date. Fresh Ambrewsia is delicious, too.

    3 weeks is the freshest I have ever seen Brewmaster. So i guess Burke is no better than the last distro. Still a great beer! Reminded me of how Wachusett Larry use to taste.

    I will have to give Little Brother a try then. I was pleasantly surprised by Warm Pun. I did get some Ambrewsia in 12 hours bottles, nice IPA. I liked his Galaxy IPA the best.

    The galaxy single hop was awesome. Some of the beers in that series were duds but there were some real home runs. Huge fan of the IPAs he puts out. I'll be looking for these.

    The Simcoe and Mosaic single hops were very good too. That's when I felt like he started to dial in with the hoppy offerings. Was not a fan of the experimental hop ones he put out late spring/early summer last year but the earlier stuff was solid. Ambrewsia has continued to evolve. It was originally a DIPA. That formula kept changing. Now's its a regular IPA at only 7% abv. I'll have to try it again too. I liked it as a DIPA a couple of months ago.

    I think his beers are really good, but tended to sit because of packaging and format.

    The new 12oz 4pks will offer a better chance for people to see what his core beers like Ambrewsia and Total Eclipse are like, and that they are really good, which in turn will help sales of special releases and 22oz like Little Brother and PrinSIPia

    Great move for him.

    Total Eclipse is the bomb at the old bomber pricepoint! Be interesting to see it in 4 pks.

    Had a The Little Brother tonight (12/23 bottle date), excellent IPA, my first Brewmaster Jack. Everyone should try it. I'll be back for more.
