By now most of us are all very familiar with the New England IPA style that has engulfed the craft beer industry over the last few years. If not that’s completely okay! You’ll have a chance to try these puppies out once and for all. Hopsters specializes in New England IPA’s with both their Newtonian and Comet Citra being a great example of the style. The style is very approachable with low bitterness and its juicy and aromatic flavors keep your taste buds wanting more.
Von Trapp was started as an American vision to create a German/Austrian version of lagers. The brewery began it’s operation at the Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe, Vermont back in the spring of 2010. They now reside at their newer 30,000 square foot facility that is capable of brewing a whopping 36,000 barrels annually! Through the 9 years of business they’ve received numerous amounts of awards for their beers. This is not a shocker as all of their brews emulate German style beers terrifically. Join us on May 10th from 4-7 to taste some of the best pilsner/ lagers in New England!

Can you believe Harpoon has been around since 1986!?! It all started with three friends who loved beer and most importantly loved to drink beer. They wanted to expand the selection of craft beer available to the very limited market there was. 33 years and 128 different beers later Harpoon is still one of the premier independent craft brewers in New England! On Saturday April 27th from 2 pm to 4 pm we will be pouring a variety of Harpoon’s brews along with a few UFO’s as well. Come on down and try some of the latest beers they’ve got to offer!
Jack’s Abby was founded in 2011 by a trio of brothers ready to dive head first into the booming craft beer business. Since their opening in 2011, Jack’s has exceeded expectations. They’ve won over 50 awards, tripled the size of their brewery, expanded throughout the country and all while doing that added another brewery to their family (Springdale). One of the breweries very unique traits is the use of old-world brewing techniques. This takes a little bit longer ranging from 4-6 weeks but the final product is a much more balanced beer. In addition to that they source their hops and malt from small family operations in Bavaria. If you ask me there’s no better way to brew German style beer than brewing it with German ingredients. Now that you know a little bit about the beer it’s time for you to come in and enjoy it! Stop by on April 20th from 12pm to 3pm to drink some delicious Massachusetts made Lagers.
We are very excited to have St. Killian Importing at our store on Friday, April 12th from 5 pm to 7 pm. Come on in and taste a range of beers from Denmark, France and Germany.
