    It's all around the Worcester area as of Wednesday / Thursday this week. Imagine it's out in Western MA at this point too. Hoppiness is a Warm Pun was fantastic and absolutely worth the effort to find and enjoy. Hope Little Brother is just as outstanding!

    Brewmaster Jack has been putting out the best hoppy beers that no one really talks about for a while now.

    Its around in Northampton in most of the stores. Coopers Corner, State Street, Provisions, River Valley Coop, etc. Not sure if I have seen it in Table and Vine, but truthfully haven't looked hard there for it.

    Both of the DIPAs are very good in my opinion.

    grabbed 3 at Yankee Wine and spirits in Sturbridge. had 1 last night and thought it was fantastic! never had any brewmaster jack before. heard lots of good things about it for a while. so when I saw it I had to grab it. $7.99 for the bomber really cant go wrong. its def worth picking up as its very under rated!

    Plenty of Little Brother and Hoppiness is a Warm Pun at Ryan and Casey in Greenfield.

    There is a lot of good beer that never gets mentioned on this hype forum and Brewmaster Jack is near the top of that heap. The new recipe for Ambrewsia has become my new favorite everyday IPA. Slumbrew's hoppy brews are another set worthy of accolades that are overlooked! I'll take either over Be Hoppy (I like it, don't get me wrong, but to me not worth scrambling to get) but to each their own.

    I agree. I like it now at 7% better then when it was over 8% and more of a DIPA. I have been pushing my local beer shops to get these beers for a while. The stores are finally starting to come around and now the supply is tough to come by. He's needs to make more beer and keep up with demand. I would buy a 4-pack of Ambrewsia every 2 weeks if available.

    I can't wait for the single hop series (Simcoe, Mosaic, and Galaxy) to come around again. All were excellent.

    Agree that Brewmaster Jack beers would offset a major Be Hoppy run if they are available....but Slumbrew??

    Fresh Flagraiser is quite under-rated IMO, and their seasonals are all unique and well-made (Yankee Swap,
    Lobstah Killah, Snow Angel, etc) however my personal taste is for a well-balanced IPA with detectable malt character, which I have a funny feeling puts me in a minority. I passed up a chance to grab Be Hoppy today, opting for Hopulence instead. Now that is borderline world-class! Be Hoppy goose chases are a strange fad to me, but I do love it on tap, just not willing to elbow people for it.

    Thanks fellas. Grabbed a few bombers at Atkins farm in Amherst on my way home last night. Went by table n vine in west springfield and they said they had a delivery Thursday but were going by Friday. No biggie. Got to try it last night and loved it. That and hoppiness seem to be 2 great beers by these guys.

    Thanks

    Little Bro was great beer. I preferred it over Hoppiness is a WP. That being Abrewsia could be better than both. I also enjoyed a aple they put out last year Huell Melon I think. Not sure of spelling. Brewmaster Jack is under the radar for Hoppy goodness!
