Jack's Abby Craft Lagers
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.

How we measure this
Two thresholds are at work here:
- The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
- The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.
A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
Hoponius Union
Their beers place in the Top 67% of the catalogue on average, across 4 ranked beers. One clear standout well ahead of the rest.
