From Sixpoint:
If you’ve been following our innovation program you know we’ve released over 60 new beers in the last couple years. Well, now’s the time. The moment we’ve all been waiting for. We’ve taken the very best formulas—the favorites of our crew, and the ones we’ve gotten the most love for, and we’re taking these to the next level. Introducing TRAIL HAZE, HOOTIE, and MELTDOWN… in 6packs, through our whole network, all year long.
For those participating in dry January, we’re sorry… this just got a lot harder. We won’t tell if you don’t!
It’s a bird…✅
It’s a plane…❌
It’s Hootie in 6 packs! ✅✅✅
That’s right, Hootie is now a part of our year-round line-up, and we’ve stepped it up a notch—we increased the ABV to 6.2%. Hootie will be in 12oz cans, six-packs, and draft.
Get ready for a YEAR LONG MELTDOWN.
It’s happening as we speak…even inside this can. We liquified the solid lupulin sap from TONS of hop cones to extract the juice—changing states of matter to change your state of mind. You can’t ignore it anymore. Hop resin now totally saturates the liquid and a thick haze starts to form. Your eyes aren’t playing tricks on you…that’s seriously pure hop juice oozing out of the can. Enough to melt your face! Meltdown will be available in 12 oz. cans and in 6-pks through our full network all year.
We teamed up with @REI to create the ultimate Adventure beer… to create a vessel to take serious haze to the highest peaks. We’re AMPED to release Trail Haze in 6packs and draft through our whole network as a new year round offering—it’s a 4% ABV, 99 calorie Hazy IPA loaded with Vic Secret, Enigma, and Mosaic hops. Tons of complex hop flavor and aroma in an incredibly refreshing beer. Blaze your trail with some haze that can actually keep up!
2020 is all about making the leap. We’ve been innovating like crazy over the last few years, with over sixty new formulations released through our Small Batch program. Now’s the time. The moment we’ve all been waiting for. We’ve taken the very best formulas—the favorites from our team, and the ones we’ve gotten the most love for, and we’re taking these to the next level. Introducing TRAIL HAZE, HOOTIE, and MELTDOWN… in six-packs, through our whole network, available all year long.
HOOTIE
6.2% ABV
Hazy IPA with Idaho 7, El Dorado, Amarillo, and Galaxy
Let your instincts take over. Channel your inner beast. When our brewmaster pulls a fresh beer off the canning line he brings everyone close to crack it open and inhale the instantaneous aroma explosion. It’s ritualistic. This sort of obsession led to vision quests in Pacific Northwest hop fields, not to mention years of maniacal recipe modification on a small scale. Embrace your inner HOOTIE and fly silently into the night!
We’ve been working on Hootie since the very beginning of our Small Batch program—this is our sixth update over the years in the pursuit of the best go-to Hazy IPA we can create. Raising the ABV from 5.4% to 6.2% is the final tweak that makes this beer ridiculously smooth and easy to drink. A huge shoutout goes to all our fans who came to Small Batch events, gave us feedback, and helped us create this beautiful beer.
MELTDOWN
8.0% ABV
Hazy IIPA with Mosaic and Mandarina Bavaria
Believe us: the MELTDOWN is really here. It’s happening as we speak…even inside this can. We liquified the solid lupulin sap from TONS of hop cones to extract the juice—changing states of matter to change your state of mind. You can’t ignore it anymore. Hop resin now totally saturates the liquid and a thick haze starts to form. Your eyes aren’t playing tricks on you…that’s seriously pure hop juice oozing out of the can. Enough to melt your face.
Meltdown is our absolute favorite from the Infinite Loop Rotating IPA Series that we began in 2018. It’s our soft, lush, incredibly tropical and juicy counterpoint to Resin in the big and bold IIPA category.
TRAIL HAZE
4.0% ABV
Hazy “Adventure” IPA with Vic Secret, Enigma, and Mosaic
Don’t call it a light beer. Just 4% ABV and 99 calories, but dry-hopped and brewed like those haze bombs people wait in line for. But we know you… you’re not standing around waiting in line—you’re hiking up mountains and forging ahead to the next adventure. Blaze your trail with some haze that can actually keep up.
We’re amped to be releasing this collaboration with REI through our full network. It’s got a blend of super premium Australian and American hops that provide a huge blast of authentic hop character, backed by a unique malt bill that’s crisp and refreshing.
PARTY HAT
7.0% ABV
0 IBU Hazy IPA with Galaxy, Citra, and Mosaic
This is the first 2020 release of our Infinite Loop Series, which features Infinite IPA possibilities on constant rotation.
A GUARANTEED GOOD TIME. That’s what you get when load up on Galaxy, Citra, and Vic Secret hops in a hazy IPA with no bitterness. It’s a can’t-miss combination of jaw-dropping juice and aromatics worth raving about. Party on.
WAIT, THERE’S MORE…
