Favorite Sixpoint Brew

I'd say Resin and Brownstone are my 2 favorites. Hi Res was way too sugary sweet for me.

 

Hi-Res. Easy. So good for so much ABV

 

Truer words have yet to be spoken. The same can be said of the upstream supply stream as well as the downstream. Before we get to brew there are dozens of hands that are touching our raw materials, equipment, and supplies. Its an integrated network of participants that are trying to manifest a reality.

We're brewing the Apollo again in just a couple of weeks. It will be draft-only this year.

Get that man a gallon of hop juice....STAT!

 

I like a lot of their beers but for me it's sweet action. Tasty, easy to drink and I like the size. If I'm hanging out drinking multiple beers a 4 pack of sweet action is perfect

 

Would you be opposed to having a six-pack of 12oz cans vs. the 4-pack of 16oz cans?

 

I dig the 16oz can format but 8 more ounces of that sweet action would be pretty awesome.

 

Are you proposing a 24 oz can?

 

No I actually just meant that a six pack of 12 oz cans brings 8 more ounces than a 4 pack of 16oz cans( if my math is right) but sixpoint 4 packs are usually a dollar cheaper than the average 6 pack of 12 oz cans so it's kinda the same thing price point wise.

 

Sweet Action is downright addictive. Who'd think to brew a cream ale? I picked up a 4pack last summer to try it out and it blew me away. There are just no other beers like it.

 

After attending 2 Beer4Beasts events in the past Sixpoint has truly demonstrated versatility concerning their ability to brew beer. I like Sixpoint a lot. 3Beans was heaven for me because Mast Brothers chocolate is my crack ( also one of the few beers I took the time to review on BA), Hi-Res was fantastic, it's become a regular go-to for me.

However, one of my biggest wants for years has been Bolshoi. Been dying to try that beer. Crossing my fingers I get to try it at the upcoming Barcade event, assuming any will be left. I need to try the beer that is one of my favorite breweries making my favorite styles.

 

You like Imperial Stouts....what about an Imperial Oatmeal Stout? We just got done brewing an "Imperial Otis" but its aged in bourbon barrels. Sick stuff!

 

hey shane, ever consider bottling? love the beers just really prefer bottles....

begin the asssault on me gentlemen, i can take it

 

If you brew a beer worthy of it, then yes, you should do a 24 oz can.

 

I love the 16 oz. and specially 12 oz keep up the good work over there!

 

what other cream ale is $10.99 or $11.99?

 

What? You never had this? Are you old school?

Maybe the Crisp? Silos! :-)

Get ready for a barrage of 12oz jammers.... :-)

Sweet Action is its own style homie. Its a Sixpoint Original.

 

All I was saying was that a 4 pack of Sixpoint's usual 16oz can beers (The crisp, sweet action, etc) usually costs $9 around me. There are other brewers that instead use 6 pack format in 12oz cans that cost around $10-$11 here,lets say Oskar Blues stuff (mamas little yella pils, old chub)
Four 16oz cans = 64oz
Six 12oz cans= 72oz
About a dollar or two difference for 8 total extra ounces, t's basically the same thing to me.
I love Sixpoint. Sweet Action is a unique beer and I have not found anything that tastes similar to it. I am not comparing breweries or saying anything derogatory, just an observation about can formats and pricing.

 

Everything except Apollo so far, though I'm about to get Hi-Res in a trade. I'm looking forward to it. Sorry @Sixpoint , please don't take it the wrong way, but I went through a 4 pack of Apollo last summer before I moved up here and just thought there was just too much "bubblegum" flavoring to it that just seemed kinda off to me. I know its a "kristalweizen" and I don't have as much "kristalweizen" experience, so if anything know that everything else I've had is solid stuff and makes me miss a lot of your brews.

 

You are actually in the minority of folks who do the math like that.

 

Either bengali tiger or sweet action. Might change one I try hi-res
