Framinghammer availability??

Had it on draft(non BA version) at Saus last night. So good.

 

Anyone seen bottles in Boston yet? I might go make some rounds and try to find it today.

 

Haven't heard anything yet but I'd recommend following Jack's Abby on twitter- they'll often retweet when a store announces they've gotten in a shipment

 

Stores near me get distro later in the week, so no. I'm hoping they get it in this week.

 

I asked a couple stores near me and just got a "not yet hopefully soon". Helpful as always.

 

my friend who lives in boston picked up a few bottles. i'm not sure where, but i don't think he went all the way to jack's abby (since he would likely have gotten growlers as well, were that the case).

 

Regular Framminghammer is on tap at Meadhall in Cambridge right now.

 

Anyone see Julio's is doing a 5pm release tomorrow? Is this the norm? Or will BA FA be that limited for Distro? I thought Julio's usually just did a Facebook post and 1st come 1st serve. I know they have the hold card thing too. Just wondering if this stuff was gonna be hard to get

 

There will be plenty. They're doing a thing for the game of thrones beer and I think they're just releasing the Framinghammer then too.

 

Saw one BA on this thread tried it but how is it tasting? Got my bottles and trying to hold out till Thurs to drink a bottle

 

It's awesome!

 

Still haven't seen any bottles of the BA, but I'm drinking a regular Framminghammer at Picco right now and... It's sick. Might be the best Baltic Porter I've tasted. Wow. I can see this doing quite well in a barrel. Anyone know what barrels were used?

 

I believe last year was Jim Beam not sure about this year.

 

Has anyone seen bottles in downtown Boston yet?

 

Heading to Picco saturday from CT....dont drink it all!

 

When it was cold it tasted boozy...like it might have been over 10%. As it warmed up the booziness mellowed out. Hard to say, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was 11-12%. Either way, it's drinking damn good.

 

I had the bourbon barrel version and the regular from a growler immediately afterward. I agree that the BA version started out a bit boozy, though I'm not sure that I let it warm enough to have the same experience you did. I thought the non-BA version was much sweeter overall actually, and that the BA version could have stood a little extra sweetness. I'm going to lay down 3 or 4 to see how they develop over age. I have a gut feeling that this is going to be a real gem by next winter.

 

This year our barrels came from Kentucky Bourbon Distillers, who manage several brands including Willet and Johnny Drum.

 

A fantastic brew, all you could want in a porter and more.

 

Yup, 7-8 12 bottles cases on the floor @Julios now
