Framinghammer if you want a heavier, more assertive porter experience,
Peregrine Porter if you want something balanced and approachable.
Both sit in the Baltic Porter lane—dark, clean-fermenting lagers—but Jack's Abby's 9% ABV adds noticeable weight and warming alcohol that Peregrine's 7% doesn't attempt. The IBU tie at 30 means neither is bitter; it's really about intensity and body. Pick based on mood: bold or restrained.

Framinghammer
Framinghammer hits immediately with dark chocolate and a subtle licorice backbone. There's real heft here—the 9% ABV makes itself known as a warming sensation that lingers, almost creamy in mouthfeel. Jack's Abby's lager yeast keeps it clean despite the strength, so you're not fighting any muddiness. It's a sipper that demands respect.
Peregrine Porter
Peregrine Porter is leaner and more elegant—dark fruit, cocoa powder, maybe a whisper of roasted grain without the char. The 7% ABV stays invisible, which is the point; this reads more like a refined evening beer than a heavyweight. Bridge Brew Works isn't trying to impress with power here, just craft. It's genuinely easy to drink multiple of these.
