Stars on Tap: Reviews of Jack’s Abby Brewing – ‘ABCS IPL’

May 7th, 2013
This Thursday, May 16th, we are releasing our Smoked Maple Lager, a collaboration with Lawson’s Finest Liquids from Vermont. All the malt was sourced from Valley Malt, who used hand-sourced Maple Wood to smoke some of it. The maple character comes from using one gallon of maple syrup for each barrel of beer. It’s rounded out with the addition of lactose sugar and brown malt.
We are having a release event for this beer at Dive Bar in Worcester, on Thursday, May 16th.
Saturday, May 18th, there will be a tap takeover at The Dirty Truth. All of our current beers and several from Lawson’s Finest will be available on tap.
We also have two planned tap takeovers with Lawson’s in Vermont where our beer will be available for the first time outside of Massachusetts. On June 7th we will be at The Farmhouse Tap & Grill and June 8th we will be at The Three Penny Taproom. As part of these events we will also be bringing some bottles for a one-time release.
Watch this video review by Beer Geek Nation where he tries (and loves!) Hoponius Union for the first time.
Leisure Time Lager, our summer wheat beer, will be available at the brewery starting tomorrow, May 2nd. It will be on draft and available in 4-packs outside the brewery soon.
This beer was named in honor of our grandfather, whose vision built the Leisure Time Ice brand decades ago and inspired us to build Jack’s Abby as a family business. Leisure Time Lager is brewed with wheat and a blend of spices including lemongrass, coriander, orange peel and chamomile. A subtle spiciness balances the citrusy and floral hops added to the whirl and hopback. Relax and enjoy! Leisure Time Lager uses locally grown wheat from MA.
OG 11.8 Plato / IBUs 15 / ABV 4.8%
Wednesday, April 17th, 3pm – Midnight
We are all still trying to process what happened yesterday but there is no time to waste to start raising money to assist the victims. Tomorrow, Wednesday the 17th, from 3pm until midnight, we are teaming up with local breweries to host a fundraiser at The Tavern Framingham on 102 Irving Street.
All the beer is being donated and 100% of the proceeds from the beer are being donated to The One Fund. There will be a raffle at 8pm of items donated by local beer stores and individuals.

Many of these are being made specifically for this event or will be released there.
Additionally, you can sample and purchase from several local food vendors including Drink Craft Beer friends such as Roxy’s Grilled Cheese, of Great Food Truck Race fame and known for their delicious gourmet concoctions perfect to pair with hoppy beers. Other food options will include delicious seasonal fare, local cheese and more.
Friday night will be a VIP session called Hoppy Hour. There will be a collection for special beers from 25 New England breweries, each one a special batch or variant made just for the Hoppy Hour VIP Session in addition to the full Saturday lineup of brews! Everyone will bring at least one special brew, dry-hopped cask or other super limited beer that will only be available on Friday night and was made specifically with this session in mind.
