Update 2/27 Full Beer list:
|
| BEER NAME | DESCRIPTION | ||
| . | Barley and Chinook Part II | This is a follow up to last year's inaugural "Barley and Chinook" single hop IPA at Beer For Beasts. This year's version is a single-malt, single-hop American double IPA made with Chinook hops, and once again, named after Sixpoint's brewery dogs, Barley and Chinook. These tireless mascots of pure, furry goodness were rescued from shelters and are the unequivocal beasts for beer. 9% ABV, 85 IBU. | ||
| . | Big Wisco Special | A bigger, better, and more Midwestern follow-up to an earlier beer Sixpoint dedicated to the state. Big Wisco Special is an amplified version of this draft-only beer served in the West Village. It is made with Wisconsin-grown flaked maize and Nugget hops. 9% ABV, 80 IBU. | ||
| . | Brooklyn Barons IPA | Made by Sixpoint Brewer and Logistician Chris Kavanaugh, a solid, coppery IPA with a full hop flavor and a good punch suited to take care of the 3rd-half celebrations for Brooklyn's Rugby Football Club. Sometimes you just want a great homebrewed IPA. 7.35% ABV, 70 IBU. | ||
| . | Brooklyn Rugby Vienna Lager | A hint of smoked malt gives this otherwise solid yet simple Vienna Lager its je ne sais quois? factor. With light hopping and a caramel body, it's a sessionable lager with unexpected appeal. 6.5% ABV, 35 IBU. | ||
| . | Bulldog Strong Ale | Made with brewer Matt Losch, this Belgian Dark Strong Ale was brewed in secondary fermentation using the Orval blend of brettanomyces. With Northern Brewer & Czech Saaz hops. 28 IBU. | ||
| . | Champignon | From Sixpoint brewer Pete Dickson, this nut brown ale is spiced with cracked black pepper and layered with chanterelle mushrooms. He's a fungi! With Glacier and Columbus hops. 5.4% ABV, 28 IBU. | ||
| . | Curtibeer | A collaboration with South American brewer Sharif Taleb, Curtibeer is an Amber IPA made with Burtanized water (hard water akin to that of IPA's birthplace, Burton-on-Trent), and Amarillo, Citra, and Simcoe hops. "A beer to drink while sitting in the sun." 6% ABV, 42 IBU. | ||
| . | Deter Tribute London Brown Ale | Jimmy Carbone and his crew from Beer Sessions on Heritage Radio Network collaborated with Jeff Cioletti of Beverage World, Jason Bullen of 49th State Brewing, and Ray Deter's widow and son on this homage to their late buddy Ray Deter of DBA. It's a toasty English-style Brown Ale that Ray would dig. 4.6% ABV, 20 IBU. | ||
| . | Double Dot | A collaboration with our friend Mike Lovullo, this Imperial Smoked Rye Ale is brewed with roughly 15% smoked beachwood base malt, 25-30% rye malt, and 10-15% chocolate rye malt, giving it a uniquely smokey, chocolately, strong flavor character. With Noble hops. 8.5% ABV, 40 IBU. | ||
| . | Dinkel Dirndl Dunkel | Inspired by a recent trip to Germany, Sixpoint sales rep Kristen Ridenour crafted this traditional Munich-style Dunkel to relive Oktoberfest. This full-bodied lager has a touch of spelt malt, Hallertauer and Saaz hops, and Bavarian yeast for a rich color and caramely goodness. 5.5% ABV, 21 IBU. | ||

| . | Funked Choco Cherry | A study in chocolate and cherries: this beer is actually a series of four brews, including a Brown Munich Lager, the same lager with morello cherries, the same with brettanomyces (wild yeast), and the same with both brettanomyces and morello cherries. With select German hops. 5.2% ABV, 30 IBU. | ||
| . | Green Paper Thaiger | Created by BeerAdvocate founders Jason and Todd Alstrom, this refreshing beer blends kaffir lime leaves, ginger, toasted coconut, caramelized onions, basil and Thai chilies grown on Sixpoint's rooftop. Its name derives from a proverb about a green paper tiger: it looks fierce, but it's harmless in the end. 6% ABV, 20 IBU. | ||

| . | L'Impérial | Sometimes, nailing a style so well it pierces your mind is all that a beer needs to be. This Imperial IPA is just that -- a solid shot of intense hops and strength that might make a royal subject blush. 9.5% ABV, 95 IBU. | ||
| . | MMM Kolsch | Food photographer extraordinaire Michael Harlan Turkell and Megan Krigbaum, Associate Wine Editor of Food & Wine create a Kolsh with meyer lemon zest and Hersbrucker hops. It's mmm good. 5.6% ABV, 23 IBU. | ||

| . | Oatmeal Stout | A dark companion for the dark days of winter and the coming days of spring. Brewed by Sixpoint's Chris Kavanagh, this Oatmeal Stout has heavy roasted flavor and a jet black complexion with a nice tan, creamy head. Good with heavy stews, roasted wild meats or simply by itself. 7% ABV, 50 IBU. | ||
| . | Old Lid Blower | A collaboration with John Kleinchester of Beertography.com, an Imperial Stout with a dark and stormy character and bouquet of Willamette hops. 42 IBU. | ||
| . | Rock Lobster | Sixpoint's Terence McNicholas didn't search far for his flavor in this Stein beer -- he went to Red Hook Lobster Pound and got some shells to season this beer with. "Kind of like oyster stout but more badass." 6% ABV, 30 IBU. | ||
