Description
We are the incredible result of what happens when brewers wonder “what if” and pursue that curiosity to its fullest. We created Springdale to push the limits of fermentation and explore flavors with the hope of creating bold new beers to share with our friends. That’s why we launched with the largest barrel program in Massachusetts. Over 1300 barrels currently sit in our taproom working their slow magic on beautiful beers. But that wasn’t enough for us. Next we dove into IPAs, traditional European beers with new twists, and fruit-forward kettle sours. All of these were created to explore fermentation forward beers and find new ways to share them with you.
We arrived at this pursuit in a unique way as well. The brewers of Jack’s Abby had been cultivating killer craft lagers for years before we launched, but found themselves wanting to push the limits of beer far beyond their core, traditional lagers. That left them with only one choice – start a whole new brand. That curiosity and willingness to take risks is what launched Springdale. The quality and expertise in this brewery is what drives Springdale.

Pours pale amber with a thin and bubbly white head. Aroma of blood oranges and grapefruit. Taste has tangerine, dry citrus, flat malt base with lemongrass and lactic acid. Palate continues the lactic acid notes with a nose note reminiscent of a pilsener. Really good.

Can from a Lazy Dog. Just a touch of haze in a light golden liquid with a thin bubbly white head that dissipates quickly. Earthy and resinous nose with a bit of tart lemon. Flavor is tart and lightly fruity with bits of earth and funk. Not much in the way of ipa character earthy and funky and odd but it really grew on me.

Pours slightly hazed gold into a shaker. White head with good retention recedes leaving spot lacing. Peach, apricot and citrus aromas.Sharp with sweet citrus and sour apricot upfront turning to mango and marshmallow before the lasting pith and peel finish. Not bad.
