Massachusetts Beer Recomendations

Where is Mass? It will definatley determine what's available.

 

I can give some western mass recommendations that can be found in bombers or cans.

Wormtown: hopulence or be hoppy (if cans can be found)
BBC: lost sailor ipa (cans), draymans porter, coffeehouse porter, oktoberfest
Lefty's: graham cracker porter, barrel aged scotch ale, english style porter
Element: ESO
spencer: trappist ale (first trappist beer in the US).
brewmaster jack: ambrewsia (dipa) or hop essence series (galaxy is probably freshest)
people's pint: double ipa
Brash brewing: item 9


Not western mass:
Clown shoes: any of them
mayflower: porter
Jacks Abby: any of them
pretty things: any of them
ipswich: oatmeal stout

 

Any Night Shift, Trillium, Idle Hands, Mystic, Clown Shoes, Jack's Abbey will do just fine.

 

Where in MA and what styles of beer do you like?

 

TReehouse if in West Trillium if in Boston....everything else is 2nd in my opinion.

 

Trillium if in Boston. - Fort Point Pale Ale, whatever IPA they have going, (Congress St, Summer St, Melcher St)
Jack's Abbey if in the burbs. - Mass Rising, Hoponious Union, Copper Legend, and they have some off the wall varieties at the brewery.

Both breweries are "easy" to get to and grab some beer, both are outstanding. Growlers fills available at both and bottles, although limited bottles at Trillium. Jack's Abbey stuff can be found in most stores in Mass.

Treehouse it more of a project to get to and get beer unless he is actually out west on the Mass Pike already.

If he isn't into making a beer pilgrimage for you the best bet for stopping at a Beer Store will be Jack's Abbey.

 

You guys realize his dad is doing the beer picking up for him. I can't imagine his father would want to stand around with a bunch of neck beards in line at treehouse to score a few bottles/growlers..of which he will have to pay for and most likely rarely, if ever, get to fill them up again.

 

Wegmans in NJ is (was just) carrying Spencer, thought that odd.

 

Op posted, and hasn't been back since then. Hmph...

 

Think he is for real though. Hate it when someone, whom just joined BA that day, asks a question and fifty BA's answer the OP is never heard from again. I actually think it's BA's "having fun" under another name. Sometimes the OP joined 5+ years ago and was never used during that time. I also can't stand the people who rate a beer or place way under or over the average and were never heard from again after that one time.
