Happy Mass Beer Week! I hope everyone is celebrating the week by enjoying some delicious local beer and sharing your favorite selections on social media using #MassBeerWeek. There is some more information on special events all week HERE. Due to the current insanity that is my life I doubt I’ll make it to any events this week, […]

Trillium Lineage Spelt
Recently many breweries are launching with very hop-heavy lineups, some brewing IPAs and other hop forward styles almost exclusively. I’ve visited a few breweries with 4-5 IPAs or pale ales available and nothing else. While I understand the reasons for this, IPAs pay the bills, it’s hard to completely judge a brewery until they branch out into […]
Trillium Farnsworth Street IPA
Last Thursday I started a 12 day vacation, the first long vacation I’ve taken since last Christmas. Most of my vacation is devoted to family time, but I’ve had a few chances to do things for myself, including a trip to Trillium Brewing Company in Canton on the first day. Always nice to stock up the […]
Trillium Melcher Street IPA
As of today I am no longer unemployed, I am back into the workforce after a 6 week break. My wife and I bought a house right before I found out I was losing my previous job, so the majority of my break was spent moving, cleaning out the old apartment and then dealing with all […]
Trillium Fort Point Pale Ale
Next week my son turns a year old, it is incredible how quickly the time flies. When my wife was pregnant she completely abstained from drinking, there are plenty of women who have a drink here or there (which is fine, no judgment), but she decided not to and stuck to it throughout. Probably the closest […]
Trillium Free Rise Dry-Hopped with Citra
One of my favorite non-traditional beer styles are saisons brewed with substantial additions of New World hops. Some traditionalists scoff at Belgian IPAs/hoppy saisons, but I find these complex and flavorful beers to be interesting and often delicious. Traditional Belgian saison yeast strains contribute a boutique of fruity flavors and aromas to the beer via byproducts in the […]
Trillium Pot and Kettle
We are in the final week of porter month on Hoppy Boston, I have three reviews this week (all porters) and then I’ll summarize next Monday. Today I am writing up Pot and Kettle, the oatmeal porter from Trillium Brewing Company in Boston (and now also in Canton). Trillium is definitely best known for their […]
Trillium Scaled Up
I wish I could drink each beer 3-4 times from different batches before I reviewed it. I suppose I could, but it would mean writing far fewer articles. Every so often I try a beer and something about it tastes “off” to me, it can be actual off flavors in the beer (oxidation, contamination, etc.), that the beer was […]
Trillium Launch Beer
I mentioned yesterday that I visited two new breweries this weekend, the first was Castle Island in Norwood and the second was Trillium Brewing Company’s new location in Canton, a short drive away. Trillium’s line-up of well crafted and inventive ales has resulted in a zealous following, they could hold a bottle release at 2 AM during […]
Trillium PM Dawn
I don’t drink coffee. Not hot coffee or iced coffee, no Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks. It’s not that I dislike coffee per se, I just never started drinking it and I have a few reasons to keep that trend going. Due to some sleeping issues I’ve had to deal with I try to avoid caffeine in […]
