Jack's Abby Craft Lagers was founded in 2011 by brothers Jack, Eric, and Sam Hendler in Framingham, Massachusetts, and claims the distinction of being the first lager-only craft brewery in the United States. The name honors their sister Abby, and the Hendler brothers — combining brewing, finance, and sales expertise — built a brewery focused exclusively on lagers at a time when the craft beer world favored ales. Flagship beers such as Hoponius Union, an India Pale Lager, and House Lager earned national recognition and helped popularize the lager format in craft brewing. The brewery operates a taproom and Beer Hall & Kitchen at its Clinton Street facility in Framingham, and its parent company, Hendler Family Brewing Company, also owns Wormtown Brewing Co.
