PRESS RELEASE / June 17, 2026 (Framingham, MA) – Jack’s Abby and parent company Hendler Family Brewing Company are family owned and operated and based in Framingham, and they are pulling out all the stops for Father’s Day weekend.

The story of Hendler Family Brewing Company is rooted in family values, entrepreneurial spirit, and a strong commitment to craft and community. Brothers Jack, Eric, and Sam Hendler continue a decades-old legacy that began in the 1950’s, when their grandfather, Richard Hendler, founded the Saxony Ice Company in New York. Their first jobs were alongside their father, Paul, and uncle, Jeff, who carried on the family business.
Since living for lagers and more is a family affair, the Hendlers are going all out with a Father’s Day weekend celebration at Jack’s Abby. They will all be cracking open cans of their latest seasonal release, Citrus Wave – a refreshing zesty wheat lager brewed with lemon, lime, and orange. Smooth, crisp, and endlessly drinkable, made for kicking back and enjoying the moment. Inspired by the Radler, Citrus Wave balances bright citrus with the mellow, rounded flavors of wheat in every sip. 5% ABV.

Saturday, June 20 – The Hops and Horsepower Car Show

From 4:00 to 8:00 PM, Jack’s Abby hosts the  Hops and Horsepower Car Show with The Connection New England and MassBMW featuring classic rides, cold lagers, and plenty to check out around the Beer Hall.
