Over the last 5-6 weeks I have been running a tribute to Pretty Things Beer and Ale project, one of my all-time favorite breweries that recently announced they would be ceasing production and ending the project. As my final article I am doing my first listicle ranking my favorite Pretty Things beers. I included every beer I’ve […]

Pretty Things Our Finest Regards
I am sad to say that, barring some crazy turn of events, this will be my final Pretty Things beer review. I’ll have one more article in my month long tribute that will act as a summary/capstone, it should be done sometime next week. When I found out that Pretty Things was ceasing production and […]
Pretty Things Baby Tree
There are many reasons to love quality beer including the diverse flavor profiles, sharing bottles with friends, the excitement in finding something new and delicious and the great memories that come rushing back with the first sip of an old favorite. That last one is a big reason that I was so disappointed to hear that […]
Pretty Things East Kent Saison
I found a good stock of Pretty Things beers at Craft Beer Cellar in Newton last week, so my tribute to their beer will continue for a few more weeks. One of the beers was probably the last new beer Pretty Things brewed, East Kent Saison. This beer was brewed in honor of the migrant […]
Pretty Things Babayaga
My frequent readers have probably noticed that most of my beer reviews follow a similar format, the second part has tasting notes and a score while the first is more varied, with information about the beer, the brewery, the style, a personal story, or any other information that I find interesting or relevant. When I am […]
An Ode to Pretty Things Beer and Ale Project
I had my evening all planned out. I am heading up to Maine tomorrow for Thanksgiving, so I was going to wrap up work, come home, get myself packed and then help my wife get everything packed for the little man, have some dinner then knock out a beer review. Quick and easy post, probably the […]
Brewery Overview: Pretty Things Beer and Ale Project
Location: Pretty Things Beer and Ale Project is based out of Somerville, MA but they don’t have a physical brewery. They rent out brewery space to brew all of their beers. I would love to see a Pretty Things brewery/taproom at some point, but the contract brewer setup seems to fit the philosophy of the brewery and it’s founders. […]
Pretty Things Jack D’Or
Tomorrow I am planning on posting the next entry in my brewery overview series featuring Pretty Things Beer and Ale Project. I had no problem choosing which beer I would review for my lead in article. When I made the transition from chugging Natty Light at a Bowdoin campus-wide party to enjoying flavorful craft beer there were some styles […]
Pretty Things Lovely Saint Winefride
There aren’t very many breweries who can (or would) release a beer where the label depicts a woman with a beer in one hand and her own severed head in the other, but Pretty Things Beer and Ale Project is apparently one. In fairness, Lovely Saint Winefride is named after the story of a Welsh abbess whose suitor […]
Pretty Things Bocky Bier
The final beer of Hoppy Boston’s Dopplebock Week is Bocky Bier from Pretty Things Beer and Ale Project. I’m cheating a little, this beer is technically listed as a bock but at 7.5% ABV it is right on the bock/dopplebock borderline. I was very excited to try this beer! Pretty Things is a master of extracting bold malty flavors […]
