Jack's Abby is damn good. Although I prefer the Smoke and Dagger. Read more

Jacks Abby is hands down the best. CBC, Pretty Things and some others may have a wider selection but there is not a single beer from Jacks Abby that isn't top 20 material. Read more

This beer is also good for cooking. I used it as a base for a sauce this weekend and it turned out delicious. Read more
