Jack’s Abby (2019)

Oh jesus didn't realize Fire in the Ham didn't make the cut.... my #1 JA beer! I'd trade in a handful of beers on the 2019 calendar just to bring that back. Hoping it makes a beer-hall exclusive appearance at some point at least.

 

Ok, that works.

We're cool again.

 

Fire in the Ham will not make it to distribution this year, but it will be available at the brewery.

 

Crisis averted That beer paired with the BBQ burnt end pizza is pretty much as good as life gets.

 

BBQ burnt end pizza?

Dear Lord...

 

Modern Hell was in CT; will the Kellerbier releases on the 2019 calendar see CT distribution as well?

 

There are 6 kellerbiers slated for distribution in 2019 and CT is scheduled to get 3 of them.

 

Having my first Shipping Up to Boston...tasting like a perfect beer right now with the Pats on. Rustic flavor and drinkability through the roof. I want to drink this all night. Would love to see this beer in the same packaging and price point as the core line up.

 

Draft only? I’m told no cans of Shipping Out of Boston.

 

No cans have made it yet for Shipping Out of Boston, but there will be some sent next week to G&G, our distributor in Fairfield/New Haven. As of now, it looks like we are not sending cans to the rest of the state.

 

Rgr, thanks for the details. Yankee Sturbridge, here I come.

 

I've never actually been to JA. For to go cans, is it 4 packs only? Or can you buy singles?

 

Singles are available

 

Franconian Kraft cans at the brewery Friday.

 

Saxony and shipping out of Boston cans?

 

Stopped by JA today for a few today. Had the latest Dinkel Herb and Franconian Kraft. Both were excellent with FK standing out far and ahead of what I remember last time. FK and braised beef chilli was a great decision.

 

Anyone try Citra Brau yet? I’m looking forward to trying it, but haven’t seen it in stores yet.

 

Not sure where you are located but my wife grabbed me a six at Redstones. I haven't had it yet. Saving it for the SB.

 

I really disliked Citra Brau. The description says "pilsner-style," so that's what I expected. Disappointed.

Evidently there's a reason most pilsners rely on European hops. It just didn't work for me. Sticking with Post Shift.

 

I've seen it everywhere Jack's Abby is sold here in Western Mass. Grabbed a six pack of it Thursday. Not super impressed. I agree with @infectedlobster ... weird flavor.
