If Brooklyn had an official goodwill ambassador, it would be Sixpoint Craft Ales, the Red Hook brewery that turns four this month. Though still a toddler by microbrewery standards, Sixpoint has already produced some of our favorite local brews—Sweet Action, Bengali Tiger and Righteous Ale among them.
For Sixpoint's fourth anniversary, its brewers have crafted yet another great creation. The just-released Dubbel Trubbel is a dark Belgian ale flavored with cocoa nibs from Williamsburg chocolatier Mast Brothers. With notes of banana and rich chocolate, this 9.6% ABV brew is strong and just the thing for a party.
And for Sixpoint, the party will last all month. Stop by one of these events to say Happy Birthday.
