Sixpoint Beer Purchasing App

Nope. Not reading that.

 

Yes this x100.
Whatever happened to just going to the store and buying a sixpack? When are u linking up with Amazon to have the drones deliver the beers to my house?

Did the brewery starter kit you purchased come with a food truck?

All kidding aside, can I get a Sixpoint tintacker from the non-tasting room/beer picking up place? Cause I have refused to pay shipping all these years when the brewery was right near me.

 

Chief/Jeff O'Neil is fixing this problem

 

I really like the idea but it brings up the memories of trying to get tickets for big shows back in the day. Tickets go on sale at 10am ad no matter how often you hit auto redial you never got through.

I was in Columbus and at Hoof Hearted where I was told by the bartender that they did online beer releases too.

While I do not have the scratch to pay for these cool releases if I did I would like the option to pick up my beer within a time frame, not only on one day. Life happens and you cant always make it even if you could a few days before. I also work an odd schedule on all days of the week.

Kudos to Sixpoint for moving on and trying to be a disruptor rather than a sheep. They keep doing the right things for the customer. As far as customer service goes Shane is #1. I am a Sixpoint fan because their beer is really good, had Shane not contacted me after I posted about a can of Bengali I had a long time ago I might have just moved on. Shane sent me 4 fresh 16oz 4 packs of 4 different beers and a few home brews all because I had a bad experience with a 4 pack. Whatever that cost him was fully made up with me purchasing Sixpoint and telling others how great their beers are.

Keep innovating Shane.

Enjoy

 

So is Greenpoint, but the reality is that for the really select brews you'll only find them at a few chosen stores. Hopefully it's just a work in progress, and things get better all around before long.

 

hah, are you referring to the prior post?

Funny you mentioned food truck. We have decided to bring one in for next Saturday so people can have something to munch one while they are picking up their beer. Hope you like empanadas!

We actually will have some limited merch items down at the brewery next Saturday. Not sure if tin tackers are available though..... send us an email and we can check for you.

We miss that guy, really happy to see him doing well in his new projects.

We by no means are trying to claim this will be a perfect system. That is one of the main reasons why we are starting with a beta version of this app. It is going to need to be an iterative process to continually improve it over time.

Now that we are only a few days from the beer going on sale, we will soon be able to see what the actual demand for our small-batch products in this method will be. And in a little over a week people will be united with the first ever cans of our small batch series. And over the next few months as we roll out all of these new formulations with our new Product Development team and Eric Bachli leading the charge, we'll see what people think.

The haters/trolls have identified themselves here and took their position, and downplayed and/or denied any innovation is happening here, or demand for the product. Time will tell whether or not they are right. If they're right and we're wrong, we'll humbly admit and go back to the drawing board.

 

I like how all the clowns that line up to sell beer for profit commented in this thread, glad to know who you are.

 

I agree but I don't have that to compare right now

 

He certainly set a high standard

 

The place is so legit. Definitely ended the "best BBQ in NYC" debate (that I was having in my head) when I tried it for the first time a few years ago.

Ironically I can think of one example where the app was massive turd vs the mobile site. Hint - we're posting on it! I do agree with you, but I just had a grim flashback to the BA app.

 

everyone will profit when they're no longer wasting their time standing in a line for hours on end

agreed on already being one of the highest esteemed, widely distributed and available option...but you also agree we cannot make a valid comparison on the small-batch stuff yet because you don't have anything from us to compare right now....maybe in six months we can satisfy both ends of the spectrum for you and others....stay tuned

Perhaps because message boards (such as this) simply are better suited for laptop and desktop publishing....if you're only ticking a beer or doing other functions that require you to swipe your finger or tap a button, an app is always going to be superior...but if you are publishing lengthy content, it can't compete with traditional laptop or desktop publishing on a website

 

Strongly agree.

As I've sometimes pointed out to some of the groups I've consulted with, if one is interested in information tracking and/or harvesting a smart phone or small tablet is often the ideal choice. However if one is interested in information creation, manipulation or modification, etc. the laptop of desktop are a better choice.

 

Travis Kalanicks gonna keep on kalanicking. You are talking to people that drink your beer, not the board or shareholders or VC

Meanwhile APP that revolutionizes an economy that already exists is having technical difficulties.

 

Heady shit.

 

Which is exactly why purchasing beer is a great task for an app - once you have your profile saved, you can learn about various beers with the swipe of a finger, and purchase them with a push of a button - all of this could be done in less than a minute, whether you are on-the-go or in the comfort of your own home. We've designed it as such. Or would you rather wait in a line outside for 4 hours? Your choice I guess.

Here are a couple of screen shots of the beta app - alerts will go out momentarily for those who signed up for it to download. Let us know what you think!

Well, since there's no beer made worth it to me, I wouldn't be standing in line in the first place.

(Also, if it's a smart phone only app I'd not be using it myself, being one of those old fashioned types who finds smart phones to be create more costs--social and otherwise-than they create benefits.)

BTW, have you and your team personally done some usability pre-testing of your own app?

 

Gonna wait for some check in reviews of the raspy sauce

 

Well, the app is not just for smart phones, you could also download it on a tablet such as an iPad if you like.

We have done several rounds of testing with the beta version, including some stress testing. Of course, the real test will be Monday, when sales go live at 12pm noon EST. Rest assured we will be taking into account all feedback to see what we can do to improve the experience.

Do you know the full story behind the raspy sauce? Most people don't know that this beer's roots are as deep as July 2013.... it all started with The Bel Jam









This was a really fun beer, and in 2015 it inspired the first wave of the Lil' Raspy. The sauce was the X-factor, but very little bit of it was made (we originally made the reduction sauce on the test kitchen above the Sixpoint Brewery).

We actually teamed back up with the Jam Stand so that those who order a case of the very first cans of Lil' Raspy will receive a bottle of the sauce.

 

*responds with cleavage and talking about iPads on a beer forum*

"This isn't Uber."

 

Sorry if I missed this, but any talk of price? Is it going to be six 12oz cans like usual for Sixpoint or are they switching over to four 16oz cans like the others? Very interested in the IPAs.
