    I hope hoppy lagers become a bigger trend this year. I know Sam Adams is coming out with one, not to mention how delicious their Noble Pils is. Anyone remember Avery's 17th anniversary ale, the dry hopped black lager? I'd love seeing something like that on the shelves again.

    Who's with me!?!?

    Just more lagers in general would be fine with me. Hoppy ones have their place (Southern Tier's Krampus comes to mind).

    Well Jack's Abby out of Massachusetts has their Hoponius Union which is far and above any other hoppy lagers. If you can gain access to their beers it'll be a treat for you. They only make lagers and they add hops and barrel age them.

    There was Jack's Abbey Kiwi Rising and then I died a happy man. All lagers at Jack's Abbey.

    Haven't met a Jack's Abbey I didn't like.

    Haven't heard of Jack's Abbey before. Sounds like I'm missing out! How far do they distribute? I'm in Kansas, so Im' doubtful we'll see them any time soon.

    They've only been open since 2011. So right now they're only distributing to Massachusetts. I'd suggest trying to make some trades with people. It'll definitely be worth it.

    Totally agree. More lagers for sure!

    Krampus is an excellent brew, the best ST has to offer in my opinion.

    Personally, I dig the burgeoning IPL style.

    I think when it comes to hoppy lagers the discussion begins and ends with Jack's Abby. We are very lucky here in Mass. They are a bargain too - usually in the $3-5 range for 500ml.

    Came here to say this, Joe's is a great session beer.

    Shmaltz Brewing/Coney Island makes an IPA style lager. Sword Swallower. Excellent brew
