This will be the final beer review of porter month on Hoppy Boston, I’ll do a recap on Monday and then move on to a new style for March. I have focused my reviews on a number of new-to-me beers, but I am going to wrap it up with an old favorite, Framinghammer Baltic Porter from Jack’s […]

Ballast Point Homework Series #6 Robust Porter
Ballast Point brewing has made a lot of news lately. They started a wide release of the flavored variants of their signature Sculpin IPA, the grapefruit version in particular seems to have started a grapefruit infused IPA trend. Even bigger news was their sale to Constellation Brands for a reported price of 1 billion dollars. […]
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 […]
RiverWalk Winter Porter
I didn’t do an end of the year re-cap, or a favorite beers of the year, or a best new beers/breweries of 2015 article. I do four seasonal best-of articles and thought it would be a little redundant to rehash it all again. That being said, I read a number of these recap articles, especially those written by other […]
Stoneface India Red Rye Ale
I am going to take a quick break from porter month to review something a bit different tonight. Stoneface Brewing Company in Newington, NH is one of the vast number of breweries that have opened in New England in the last few years. It was founded by Peter Beauregard, an avid home-brewer with substantial New Hampshire roots. […]
Berkley Coffee Porter
There are now over 100 breweries in Massachusetts. BostonInno put together an interactive map and counted 123, but that includes a few that are still a work in progress and are planning on opening this year. Check out the map HERE, and keep in bookmarked because they intend to keep it updated. As I browsed […]
Foolproof Peanut Butter Raincloud
Peanut butter is one of my all time favorite foods, I eat it nearly every day, typically on toast at breakfast. I also believe that the combination of peanut butter and chocolate is a peak of culinary greatness. I am not a huge sweets person, but if I see a dessert on the menu featuring these two ingredients […]
Bog Iron Devil’s Footprint
I try to focus my reviews on beers that my Boston area readers can find without going incredibly out of their way. I have never been the kind of person to wait in line for hours for a beer release, I’d rather find awesome beer that is readily available. That being said, occasionally I come across a limited […]
Revolution Eugene
My style of the month reviews should follow the trend I’ve established on Hoppy Boston, I will focus on New England beers and mix in a few national favorites that are available in the Boston area. Some less common styles might necessitate fewer local reviews, but that won’t be much of an issue for a […]
Night Shift Awake
I am starting a new feature on Hoppy Boston, each month I will pick a different beer style as the focus of my reviews. I’ll still mix it up to keep pace with interesting new releases, but the style of the month will dominate. I am going to try and stick to some less-heralded styles, I want to find more […]
