    Sixpoint Brewery – www.sixpoint.com, www.instagram.com/sixpoint

    Address: 40 Van **** St, Brooklyn, NY 11231

    Tap Room Hours: Only open during Saturday releases for now.

    How to Get There Via Mass Transit
    • Take the F/G to Smith-9th Street, then either (1) walk over (15 minutes), or (2) take the B61 from the corner of Smith and W 9th
    • Take the free Ikea ferry from Pier 11 in the Financial District
    • Take some damn subway from Manhattan and hop on the B57. Useful stops are at Court St and Schermerhorn St (for Borough Hall and the 4/5) and Jay St/Willoughby St (for Jay St – MetroTech and the A/C)
    Current Tap List: @Sixpoint often gives us a heads up the week of the release as to what will be available on tap during the release, but it’s subject to change. Currently tasters and $5-7 for pints of what's on tap.

    Growler Fills: None for now.

    Can and Bottle Sales: See below for this month’s release.

    Outside beer: Nada.

    Kids and Dogs: OK for now, but the space in the courtyard is rather limited, so it is not an ideal space for either. A few small dogs have made appearances.

    Swag: https://merch.sixpoint.com/. Items also for sale through the App and in the courtyard on release day.

    Local Eats: As always, there will be a food vendor at Sixpoint during the release party. For before or afterwards, check out: Fort Defiance, Red Hook Lobster Pound, The Good Fork, Hometown Bar-B-Que, Defontes, Grindhaus (opens at 5 PM), plus a lot of other place on Van Brunt St near Pioneer.

    Nearby Drinking Establishment (20 minute walk): Van Brunt Stillhouse, Rocky Sullivan’s, Sunny’s Bar, Brooklyn Ice House, Seaborne.

    App: Required to purchase small-batch releases and/or merch, and doing so will create a QR code that provides access to the courtyard on release day. Find it on the App Store or Google Play.

    July Release

    Spritzer Day -- Sixpoint & Sloop
    Spritzer: 4% Dry-hopped semi-sour grisette with white wine grapes, fermented with a French saison yeast and hopped with Nelson Sauvin, Hallertau Blanc, and Citra. $16 per 6 pack.
    Spritzer Bomb: White: 7.3% NEIPA collaboration with Sloop Brewing hopped with Citra, Enigma, and Vic Secret, plus a trio of white wine grapes. $18 per 6 pack.
    Stun Gun: 6% Sour IPA hopped with Idaho 7 and Mosaic, plus mango and pineapple puree. $17 per 6 pack.
    Limits: 4 six-packs per beer.

    If you're a fan of the art work you've seen on the small batch cans, you have a chance to get a limited edition (50 prints total) poster of the art for the Spritzer can:

    Hopefully @Sixpoint can post a higher resolution image of the poster and the screengrab I got is not great quality.

    Beers go on sale via the app on July 16 at 12PM EST, release day is July 21, 11-7PM. Additional pickup times the following week available through the app at time of purchase. See you on the 21st!

    As you probably saw already, this is a continuation of our flavor exploration that we started in May with Fruit Fest, continued in June with Jammer Day, and now continue in July with some unique formulations in a range of ABVs. I know @CanConPhilly has a penchant for flavorful, low ABV beers...so the Grizette might be right up his alley.

    This also marks our first two-part collaboration series, kicking things off with Sloop.

    I will see if I can track down a higher resolution image of the poster. Hit us up with any other questions regarding this release.

    cheers

    @Sixpoint, I mentioned this to at least half a dozen people at the release last month, but any chance of an inflatable unicorn designed like Jack's creation that we can take pictures astride/next to?

    It was discussed, but we opted for unicorn rides instead.

    Also, my local bodega has alpenflo and that is my goto everyday drinker. Such a great crusher. Totally reminds me of the Augustiner Bräu's I used to crush in Berlin. Would love to have this fresh year round.

    I agree. Fantastic helles. My 12-pack didn’t last a week which is a rarity for me.

    Hey Shane. Just wanted to say I downloaded the app today and used it for the first time. Really like it. Seems pretty accurate too based on that fact I have been in a lot of the places I checked. Was able to find what was apparently the last of the Jammer in the Columbus area (and east of there toward me).

    On that note, my friend who owns a liqour store said that when he tried to reorder his rep said that he thought it was done till next year. I know you said that there were going to be 19.2 oz cans also. Do I need to start stocking up? I mean, I have bought 12 six packs already, but I will gladly drink it for Christmas

    Thanks for checking in. Are you referring to the Citrus Jammer, or the regular Jammer?

    I'm pretty sure the regular Jammer is long gone, so whatever is on the shelves at this point is what is going to last for the summer. Due to demand we whipped up a second batch of the Citrus Jammer, so that one might have a little more hangtime.

    I would like to see the 6point star as the center part of one or maybe all the fruit.
