Top Shelf Boston

Industry vs Inferiority from Bissell Brothers is back on our shelves, and this batch is tasting especially dialed in. The Idaho 7, Mosaic, and Amarillo combo brings out that signature mix of drippy stone fruit, ripe pear, and a little dank berry character, all wrapped in the soft, Maine‑grain body Bissell is known for. It’s a hazy that feels bright and juicy without losing that subtle piney edge, the kind of IPA that disappears from your glass faster than you expect.

Lamplighter, brewing out of Cambridge, has a reputation for playful, creative beers, and Ms Frizzle is one of those releases that shows off their knack for flavor and color without ever feeling gimmicky.
