From Sixpoint:
We are just days away from our final courtyard release and we want to make it big! Don't forget to RSVP to the event and we will see you Saturday.
This is it, folks. Twenty-six can releases. At least sixty-five new beers. This month will be our last courtyard event (we’re taking a radical sabbatical before opening the taproom in May!) and we’re making it a doozy. Raspy went ballistic. Master Blend got double oaked. And for our final offering we’re honoring a great friend of the brewery with an IPA he would have loved. See you there… and then see you at the taproom next year!
Save the dates! Our final special release beers come out next Monday 10/21 @ Noon EST exclusively on the Sixpoint App. Release party for local pick-up is Saturday 10/26 from 11-5pm, and we’re offering an alternate pickup day (without the celebration) on Wednesday 10/30 from 5-7pm.
Mega Raspy -
The logical conclusion of all of this. The ultimate Raspy. Lil Raspy, a 4% sour beer with raspberries, was part of our first can release back in September 2017. Since then we’ve released Blackberry Raspy (Raspberries and Blackberries) Smooth Raspy (with Vanilla and Milk Sugar) and Wild Raspy (Barrel-Aged and Funky). For our final release we created our most amped up Raspy ever—we took an insane berry medley, amped up the fruit factor as far as it could go, and took the ABV all the way to 10%. Behold the Mega Raspy! The end point… for now.
The Mayor -
Mark Spiegel was one of the most important Sixpoint fans ever. He was a mainstay at every can release and was soon dubbed “The Mayor of Sixpoint” by the crew that showed up to nearly every one of the events. Some of these guys haven’t missed a single release! By the time the crew would form, Mark would always be there holding court and talking shop, so it was a nickname well deserved. Sadly, we lost Mark last year. It was important to our whole team to honor him with the kind of IPA he would have loved, served in one of his favorite places. We designed this beer to incorporate all the characteristics Mark loved in beer—it’s loaded with hops, with a balanced profile between juiciness and piney resinous notes, and we designed it in tandem with the crew he met at the events. Get ready for this 8% ABV New England IIPA.
Double Oaked Master Blend: Jameson Edition -
This 14% ABV Imperial stout was aged for over two years in barrels, before being emptied directly into a second batch of first fill barrels from Jameson. This immense, dark, rich stout is extremely complex from the time and quality of the aging. Expect high notes of whisky and wood complemented by fudge, caramel, dark fruit, and vanilla—a spotlight on barrel aging without sacrificing a harmonious experience.
Mega Raspy, The Mayor, and Double Oaked Master Blend go on sale through the app on 10/21 at 12 PM EST, and the release party is 10/26 from 11-5PM at the brewery in Brooklyn! <sixpoint.com/app>
