    The food is not good and the beer is good but not enough to get me in there because the stuff they have on tap I can just get at Julios.


    Yes, Wormtown is in Peppercorns and their brewery specials are on tap there. They do not fill Be Hoppy in growlers at the brewery (although I wish they did), just bottles and on draft. You can purchase fresh Be Hoppy bottles at Peppercorns. The last time I had Buddha Juice was last fall at Rail Trail, I think it was a one off although I hope they make it again. Another favorite of mine is Sweet Tats, Tennessee Tats and Hogshead Red. Check their Facebook page if you wan to know what growler fills they are offering over the weekend and but I would also call. Once I drove all the way there on a Saturday to get Hogs Head Red only to arrive and find that it was kicked.


    Part of my perfect weekend is Rail Trail on Friday and a glass of Be Hoppy or if it is on Hopulence (staying on target with the topic). Grocery shopping at Wegmens then pulling into the beer isle (Oh look, Framinghammer for $5 let me pick up 1 or 6) and then swing by Julio's on the way home. Saturday night dinner at Armsby Abby or maybe Sunday brunch (10 months and you have not been to the Abbey!! For shame). My wife is a Caps fan, she is very happy with the Bruins this year in the playoffs

    They've had it on at both the kitchen bar and inside the venue each time I've been there. Always been super fresh, too. Really hope it's going to be a staple there going forward.

    As mentioned earlier, the food is marginal at best. Typical over salted, cheesy, heavy food. However, they tend to have a good deal on their pours. I have had 20 oz Sculpins for $6 on many occasions. Be Hoppy is also always on tap as well as. It's worth checking out at least once.

    Yeah I saw it at Whole Foods in Dedham a couple weeks ago. I assume other stores have it, (or had it). I just haven't been to many stores recently.

    I thought hopfluence was good, but not great, I like Be Hoppy more. Always want to try sweet tats too but the price prevents me from grabbing one...teneessee tats sounds like it would be awesome as well. Wormtown is putting out some good stuff for sure though.

    Wow, didn't realize there was this much love for wormtown....

    I live about 5 minutes from the brewery, their limited offerings are where the true skill shines. Hell, I still have a case of original Pro-Am and Sweet Tats. AND a growler of Tennessee Tats sealed up in my fridge.

    I just always took them for granted, always chasing the next best thing. Had Be Hoppy on tap at Yardhouse and was thoroughly impressed. So next time i was in a bottle shop I got a bomber and enjoyed as well. This week I saw Hopulence and thought for $6.99 its worth the risk. I am glad to say I was rewarded. Wormtown has IPAs figured out.
