Jack's Abby (2018)

If you've never had mole, get yourself to the best mexican restaurant near you and try their steak with mole or other mole specialty.

As far as the mole beer, I tried all framinghammer variants the other day and mole way by far my favorite.

 

Mole is awesome. The italiano one tastes way too much like licorice. Tough to finish

 

Bought another 6 of House Lager. So damn good. This will be my summer beer for sure. It screams beach, pool, lawnmower, and BBQ

 

Anyone hear an ETA on Excess cans?

 

Not soon enough....unless it's tomorrow, that would be ok.

 

House lager is amazing. That is all.

 

Damn, the House Lager is indeed for real. It's got that crackery character I love in a Pils, but it has more of a soft feel that lingers pleasantly on the palate rather than dissapating quickly and crisply. I have no idea if that makes any sense but that's what comes to mind.

Especially with its price point and format, I definitely have a new goto summer beer (sorry Nooner!).

 

FWIW, based on a BeerMenu email I just got, House Lager appears to be hitting the Hartford area today. woot

 

Just a heads up for those interested - Excess cans are being released at the brewery today.

 

Picked up a couple 4 pack. Its excellent! Its says 3X hopped. How different is Excess from 3x Hoponius?

 

3x Hoponius takes on many different faces as they completely change the hops used in it almost each time. They do disclose the varietals used in each variant but to me it makes it a different beer each time, so it's hard to compare. IMO the bext 3x dry hopped version was the original recipe just turned up to 11, rather than the versions that substitute different hops.

 

Excess uses the same process as the 3x Hoponius, just a different recipe.

 

Wow, having the house lager at redds I Rozzie right now...so good! Living in Boston it's too easy to get stuck in a hop juice phase, this is incredibly refreshing. Tastes fresh as can be too which doesn't hurt. Jacks abbey, you're the best. I really think jacks and nightshift are the unsung heros of Massachusetts

 

I grabbed a six of House Lager at the brewery a few weeks ago, and I really enjoyed.

Anyone know where I can get more in Boston/Cambridge (ideally along the red line)? My usual places do not have it stocked. Thanks in advance.

 

Pemberton's...short walk from Davis.

 

Excess cans are fantastic, and a bargain at ~$12 for a four-pack!

 

Are Excess cans getting out to retail stores soon?

 

In Boston as of last week, saw them at Fort Point Market and Urban Grape.

 

I've seen a few places say they have them. Julio's, few CBCs, Fort Point Market.
