2018 was a great year for Hoppy Boston. I celebrated the 5 year anniversary of the launch of the site, and it was by far the best year in terms of total page views, exceeding my expectations by a substantial amount. I also started writing a semi-regular article for The Full Pint, which has been […]
I was going to include the Trillium stuff from this week in my monthly news/notes/links column coming on Thursday but there was way too much to unwrap, so I decided to write a separate post. Here it goes. It has been a crazy week for Trillium Brewing Company, one of the most popular and sought […]
Last month I wrote a fun (for me at least) article pairing some of my favorite Pearl Jam songs with local craft beers. I immediately wanted to follow it up with some similar articles based on the work of my other favorite bands. While Pearl Jam is my all time favorite band as a whole, […]

Pearl Jam is my all time favorite band. I started listening to them when Ten first came out (I’m old), got really into their entire catalog in college, and they became my absolute favorite band the first time I saw them live. Over 27 years after they formed the band is still going strong, selling […]
Birthdays only come once a year (unless you were born on February 29th, then only once every four years, which must be really weird), so it is important to take some time and celebrate. If you are a beer geek that celebration needs to involve some of your favorite brews, ideally shared with some of […]
I get asked regularly by friends and readers if I used the popular beer app Untappd. My response is typically that I have an account but I rarely use it. Occasionally someone will connect with me on Untappd, I’ll make an effort to check in a few beers and then fall out of the habit […]
Last week I picked 10 beers for the inaugural class of the New England Craft Beer Hall of Fame, the beers that were most important in building the amazing craft beer scene in the region. I knew that the article would be of interest, but I was blown away with how much, in one week […]
