We finally stopped into this local brewery after hearing rave reviews from friends. We were seated right away and our waitress Callin came right over to see what we would like. She then took the time to explain the different types of beer and her recommendations to my wife. She was wonderful. We tried several types of beer and each one was so full of flavor and unlike some we have had no bitter after taste. We then tried the food as well. The grilled brisket sand and the chicken BLT. The food came out so fast we were concerned. There was no reason, both were perfectly cooked and delicious. The crowd was lively and fun and they had a great singer playing while we were there. We will definitely be back with a group next time

Whenever I see Brussel Sprouts on the menu, I have to have it! Although, throwing pomegranates into the mix was odd. For drinks, I went with a flight. Smoke & Dagger - dark beer with a tinge of tobacco aftertaste, and smooth as well. Noble Breeze - hints of a herb and I'm told Noble is a type of hop from France Modern Hell - reminds me of Corona, but without the need of lime and hoppy. Blood Orange - wasn't as fruity as I thought it'd be.

I don't drink a lot of beer, but when I do... I don't drink Dos Equis -- I drink at a microbrewery or at a restaurant the offers a good selection of local craft brews. Luckily for me, there are and ample number of places to choose from near me that fit that criteria. One of them is Jack's Abby Brewing. There's a lot to like about this place. #1: The beer is good. #2: They have ample parking on and off the street. #3: The beer is very good. #4: The food is good. #5: They have great beer. #6 They have indoor and outdoor seating. Did I mention the beer is good ;) The bartenders and servers will guide you to the beer you'll like. And the menu is varied and good. I'd describe is up-scale pub food. The seating beer-hall-style. You'll likely be sitting at a long table with people you don't know, but that's pretty cool really. You get to meet knew people and chat about, well, beer. It's a cool place and if you like craft, local, beer you should stop in. P. S. And I'm not the most interesting man in the world. The first line of this review, and the previous sentence are references to a famous ad campaign for Dos Equis beer.

Jack's Abby Craft Lagers is a craft brewery that opened in Framingham, Massachusetts in 2011. It was founded by brothers Jack, Eric and Sam Hendler. Jack has a degree from the Siebel Institute and began brewing at a brewpub in Boston. Eventually the three brothers decided to go into business together and launch their own brewery that would exclusively brew lagers. They took up residence inside the old Dennison Manufacturing building. Although Boston is known for being the home of the Samuel Adams Boston Lager, Eastern Massachusetts at this time was the birthplace of the 'New England IPA' craze. It seemed very unlikely that a brewery that only made elegant, clear, crisp lagers would have a chance succeeding in a landscape where craft beer drinkers were waiting in long lines to purchase thick, hazy, sweet, intense ales. Against all odds, Jack's Abby found their fan base. Today Jack serves as the brewmaster, Sam as the CEO, and Eric as the Finance Director. In 2024, Jack's Abby purchased Wormtown Brewery. This new acquisition makes Jack's Abby the largest craft brewing facility in Massachusetts and one of the ten largest family-owned brewing operations in the country. The brothers founded the new parent company 'Hendler Family Brewing Company', which collectively owns Jack's Abby, Wormtown and Jack's Beverage Company (their contract brewing arm). I recently visited Jack's Abby while I was cycling around the Framingham area. The brewery has been on my bucket list for a long time. Although I definitely tend to prefer ales over lagers, Jack's Abby never ceases to amaze me because I would swear that some of their beers actually are ales. My visit happened to coincide with the brewery's annual 'Maifest'; I had no idea until I actually got there. There were all sorts of festivities including people dressed up in traditional lederhosen, German foods, a dance around the Maypole, and live music from a German brass band. The tasting room was beautiful; it was designed to look like a traditional, big Bavarian beer hall. I grabbed a seat at the bar and ordered a taster flight which consisted of "Mexican Lager", "Arctic Bloom" (IPL), "Modern Märzen", and "Maifest" (Festbier). Every single beer was so crisp and refreshing. Of course I needed to grab some German grub too. After looking over the special Maifest Menu, I ordered the "Potato Pancakes" (arugula, pickled onions, sriracha mayo) and the "Maifest Pizza" (bratwurst, hotdogs, banana peppers, sliced onion, pickles, fresh mozzarella, oregano). Both plates disappeared relatively quickly. I had a fantastic experience at Jack's Abby and I'm so happy I went during Maifest!

Wifey and I came up to the area for the Army-Navy game and wanted to check out a local brewery that served food (they don't have these in Jersey - can't serve food). We decided on Jack's Abby and it was a hit. We were seated immediately and I loved that they have giant long picnic type tables. The place was huge, filled with very happy patrons, and it felt like a place I'd be a regular at if I was from the area. I was impressed with the beer offerings and the food menu was great too. Too early for dinner we just ordered a couple appetizers - we ordered the large hot pretzel and meatballs. Pretzel was excellent with delicious mustard and pub cheese. The meatballs were good, not as good as Wifey's, but still good. The beer options were great and our server was pretty well versed. Wifey and I both did flights Me: Shipping Out to Boston (loved this one - solid flavors for a lighter beer) Copper Legend (a nice simple beer) German Chocolate Cake (very good, but a bit sweet for me) Framinghammers Barrel Aged (my favorite- deep porter taste...I left with a 4-pack) Wifey: Blood Orange Wheat (I could drink these all summer) Copper Legend Framinghammers French Toast (too sweet for me) Cider- another one I could drink all summer. This place was awesome. Great service, great atmosphere, great food and beer...you can't go wrong!!
