Sixpoint captures lightning in a keg with TESLA Lager

semi-official press release:

SIXPOINT BREWERY THROWS DOWN "TESLA" LAGER


MAD SCIENTISTS’ ORIGINAL ELECTRIFIED WHEAT LAGER IS NEXT INSTALLMENT OF CYCLIQUIDS AND AVAILABLE DRAFT ONLY​

JULY 8, 2014, BROOKLYN, NYC, USA, WESTERN HEMISPHERE, PLANET EARTH, MILKY WAY - Brooklyn-based Sixpoint Brewery today announced the release of the "TESLA" -- a 7.0% ABV draft-only offering described as an "electrified wheat lager." In true Mad Scientists fashion, this beer cannot be confined to style guidelines, but instead was brewed to taste by the team of Mad Scientists at Sixpoint Brewery. A bright filtration and healthy dose of fragrant hops, substantial wheat portion in the mash, and a clean fermentation profile make this beer a unique installment as the next Sixpoint "Cycliquid." Are you electrified yet?

"Excuse the pun, but I'm amped for this release! We've been working with lager recipes for years with such brews as the Berserker Bock and Crisp, and I could not be more excited to share this unique creation with our fans" said Shane Welch, President of Sixpoint Brewery. "I'm particularly excited to see what the most bold and discerning beer drinkers will think of this."

The TESLA is named in honor of one of the true Mad Scientists of the modern era, Nikola Tesla. Much of his work was misunderstood during his years, but with the passing of time, he has been vindicated as a true mad scientist who was simply ahead of his time.

"We've been formulating, creating, and pushing boundaries since we came onto the scene 10 years ago" added Welch. "Sometimes when you take risks and people don't understand what you are doing, you get ridiculed. No biggie, we're still formulating. Drop us a line and let us know what you think!"

No animals were harmed during the creation of this brew. The brewery dog stole some spent grain, but that's about it.

Columbus, Mt Hood, Amarillo, Cascade, Galaxy, Mosaic

 

some of the test batches varied in color to the final result...we did about 4 or 5 trial runs before we made this...

we will get it integrated as soon as we can...there is usually a 2-3 day delay with reporting from our wholesalers

 

heading out to your area next week...

 

An immersion coil would essentially be the same thing ;-)

But for real, all conventional brewhouses nowadays are electronic anyways - or at least the control board is :-)

 

absolutely, shipments go out next week!

no worries...it will be there, would you like to be in contact with our local rep?
