    Alpine Butcher

    Located on the line of Lowell/Chelmsford, it's a great family owned business. All of their beef is USDA Prime. I bought a brisket from there over the weekend and it did not disappoint.

    Looks like an interesting place. A couple of their cuts looked wagyu almost.

      I guess if you live in Lowell MA it would be a great place to check out. Does not appear as though they ship and really not much info on specifically what they carry cut wise. But hey, finding a good butcher these days is worth announcing.

        They're very much a local business and don't ship (at least not to my knowledge). I live 12 minutes away and there's not too many butcher shops in northern Mass so wanted to point out a good one for those in the area looking.

            What was the price per pound for that brisket? About an hour from me, but I travel all over MA for work.

              I believe it was $8.50/pp. Brisket cost ~$72, weighed ~8.5 lbs

              They look like a winner. And they now ship through out the US. Going to check them out.

                  It's only about a 22 hour drive (one way) for me, might be a worthwhile road trip. Leave here after work at 5:00 pm on a Friday, arrive there at 3:00 pm on Saturday, buy some meat, sleep for a few hours and I'm home by early evening on Sunday. Probably not the craziest thing I've ever done for a good cut of meat.

                    Foster a great relationship with them. A cup of coffee and box of pigs occasionally goes a long way in my experience. Give them photos of your best cooks to put on the wall, and ask for business cards. It will pay off in the end, I promise.

                        Thanks for the heads up. I work in Burlington and might grab a cooler and run up there at lunch!

                        Google Maps says its 17 minutes from work.
