We’re dabbling in some cool hops on the WIndowsill today!

If you follow my sill, you know I have a soft spot in my heart for Brooklyn’s Sixpoint Brewery. I love their logo, and the unique slim cans they put all their beers in. Unfortunately, I have really only had their year-round brews… until now. Check out the Dabble, an experimental New England-style Double IPA!

This is a very special beer from Sixpoint. It’s the second release in their “Infinite Loop” Series of innovative DIPAs. Max Nevins, VP of Marketing at Sixpoint told Brewbound.com about the series:

“We created the Infinite Loop series to bring our small batch innovation to the entire Sixpoint network, while also ensuring we have a great tasting, innovative IPA available year-round. The Meltdown liquid just blew people away—it went so quick we were out of stock two months before we expected. We’re definitely going to go bigger for Dabble.”

I missed out on the Meltdown, but the Dabble features a great and unique hop lineup: Cashmere, Idaho 7 and a new breed of Sabro hops to which, according to Brewbound, The Hop Breeding Company granted Sixpoint early access. It was super juicy, with a lot of big hoppy flavor and aroma. Really bright and tasty!

On Sixpoint’s own blog, Brewing Manager Heather McReynolds said: “I just wanted to make the juiciest IPA we could with the best, freshest ingredients available to us. Something for the New York hop heads who love dat juice.”

I think Sixpoint did a pretty solid job!

Sixpoint Brewing Company: Hi-Res

The Windowsill is definitely in high resolution today!

Brooklyn, New York’s Sixpoint Brewing Company was the result of a guy from Milwaukee and a guy from Manhattan bond over beer. Andrew Bornstein (the Manhattan guy) and Shane Welch (the Milwaukee fella) met while attending the University of Wisconsin (Go Badgers). Welch, and avid homebrewer, had the recipes. Bornstein put up the cash, and Sixpoint was born. Their brewery is housed in a Brooklyn factory that was once used to make filing cabinets. These days, they’re just filing good beer after good beer.

The Hi-Res Triple IPA is a bit of a monster, weighing in at 11.1% ABV and 111 IBUs. It’s basically an amped up version of their DIPA, Resin, which we haven’t had on the Windowsill before. It’s got some bomb hoppiness aroma to it, as you can imagine, and lots of solid tropical, sweet and resin flavors in the background. Despite the big ABV, not a lot of boozyness to it. If you like Resin, you’ll love Hi-Res!
