Take a look at their logo - a brilliant mash-up of the brewer's hexagram and the nautical star. It's not just a nod to their brewing passion but also a salute to Red Hook’s maritime heritage. Their motto, "Beer is Culture," is a clever pun, highlighting both the cultural impact of beer and the fact that yeast - the magic ingredient - is a culture too!
Now let's talk about their "Mad Science" approach to brewing. These folks don’t just brew beer; they concoct experiments in liquid form. Like some kind of beer-crafting wizards, they blend ingredients with innovative techniques for extraordinary results.
Sixpoint started with just kegs, hitting local bars and restaurants, making them the coolest kids on the block. Want beer to go? You had to fill a growler from the tap. It wasn’t until June 2011 that they started canning their golden (and sometimes amber, red, or dark) elixirs. Today, you’ll find Sixpoint vibes all over the country!
Their factory, a 7,000-square-foot former filing cabinet plant, is a conduit for creativity. With beers like “The Crisp” (Pilz), “Sweet Action” (Ale), “Bengali” (IPA), and "Resin" (IIPA) brewed year-round, your palette is in for a treat.
Sixpoint began their "Cycliquids" Series in summer 2014, rolling out unique brews whenever inspiration strikes. They've released beers like Rad, Sensi, Hi-Res, Beast Mode Porter, Abigale Belgian Ale, and Jammer Gose. No seasons dictate their releases-when they feel like brewing, they brew!
In November 2018, Sixpoint joined forces with Artisanal Brewing Ventures, expanding their craft with Southern Tier and Victory. Together, they’re turning the brewery game upside down. So, raise a glass and say cheers to mad science, culture, and a whole lot of fun!
And remember: if you’re having hops, share them with friends!
