Golden Lager from Jack’s Abby, a Massachusetts craft brewery of unpredictable vowels. Abby not Abbey? Bier not Beer? It’s easy to drink, though, and the brothers who run it have a vaguely McElroy energy?

Or maybe that’s just my learned reaction to seeing three smiling white men of varying beardliness, weight, and glasses status? Impossible to say.

Jack's Abby Hoponious Union - First beer of the Boston work trip. Fresh, on tap, on the waterfront is hard to beat.

Jack’s Abby Hoponius Union IPL (Picked up at a Weis in PA). A 4 of 4. One of the better IPLs I’ve had -- tons of big citrus notes in the nose and a clear lager yeast presence. The body has some really nice caramel malt sweetness and quite more complexity and heft than I’d expect out of a lager. There are some nice complex fruit notes in the body, and this finishes clean and crisp. Great stuff.

Jack’s Abby out of Massachusetts and Stoneface out of New Hampshire got together to brew two versions of a beer they dubbed Friend Request. This was the Jack’s Abby version which was a Beire de Garde. It came in at 6.9% ABV. The color was a muddy red. It was malty with a subtle dark fruit flavor early on. As it warmed there was some bubblegum coming through. It had a spicy finish from the rye they brewed it with. This was really good! Excited to try the Stoneface version.
