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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
Rising Tide Waypoint
I still don’t drink coffee. Many of my colleagues are shocked that I didn’t pick up the habit in graduate school, the 70-80 hour weeks in the lab drove many towards any additional boost they could find. I joked afterwards that I had one more big test, which started almost 7 months ago with the […]
Narragansett Allie’s Donuts Double Chocolate Porter
I am pretty sure that Narragansett Brewing Company is working on a collaboration beer with every business based in the state of Rhode Island. It is a really cool way to connect with some of the local businesses, especially considering how iconic the Narragansett name is in the state. First they released Del’s Shandy in collaboration […]
Founders Porter
I’ve started to notice that I tend to over-focus my beer purchasing, consuming and writing on the newest beer releases. I know I’m not the only one! A great new beer almost always has way more buzz amongst craft beer connoisseurs than the re-release of something that has been brewed before. I really started to think about this last month when I […]
Mayflower Porter
As more breweries open and competition increases for market share many brewers seem to be resorting to gimmicks as a way to attract customers. Some are making bigger and bigger beers, higher alcohol, higher IBUs, ultra-hoppy triple IPAs or booze-forward barrel aged imperial stouts. Some have crazy in-your-face label art or bold to borderline offensive beer […]
Wolaver’s Oatmeal Stout and Alta Gracia Coffee Porter
While I have reviewed a number of beers by Otter Creek on Hoppy Boston I haven’t spent much time on Wolaver’s Organic Ales. The beers in the Wolaver’s line are all brewed and bottled at the Otter Creek Brewery in Middlebury, VT, but sold under a different label. Wolaver’s was the first certified organic brewery […]
