Sixpoint solidifies their lead as the brewers to beat with the release of Apollo in 2012, just in time for summer beer season. I’ve had a few of these already, and even my friends who usually avoid craft beer are hooked…
Picked up a 4-pack, expecting to be delighted by my first taste of Sixpoint’s American Pale Wheat Ale. Little did I know that those Brooklyn brewboys abandoned that style in favor of a Kristalweizen (which, after tasting, I can only assume is German for “brewed with unicorn tears & angel sweat”).
From the grassy, sweet, banana-bubblegum nose to the smooth, lemon-clove taste and the crisp dry finish, this was simply a great, great exbeerience.
I’ve got one more of these in my fridge, and it won’t last much longer. This 7th beer in Sixpoint Brewery’s Mad Scientist series truly lives up to its name as a resonating Double IPA flavor, and enough floral hops that it’s nearly yellow-green in color. It’s a good reminder that tasty beers can come in tiny (12 oz) packages.
Why go out to the store when you can get four-packs of cans - err, nanokegs - of Sixpoint’s The Crisp, Sweet Action, and Bengali Tigerthrough FreshDirect starting today? Sure, at $10.99, they’re a little bit pricier than the brick-and-mortar retailers, but that’s the price you pay for…
Touring the Sixpoint brewery in Red Hook, Brooklyn, NY. It’s operated out a tiny workspace not much bigger than a 2-bedroom apartment in the heart of Brooklyn’s Red Hook community. Still out of the tiny brewery come some of the most creative, and lovingly brewed beverages available in New York.
Sixpoint is close to where I live in Brooklyn and is available at many of the best bars around NYC, so I hope to visit one of my favorite local breweries during American Craft Beer Week!
All I could think about was how to make this beer and not kill anybody.
