Tomorrow, Sixpoint Brewing (Brooklyn, NY) is making their Virginia debut with a pub crawl through Old Town featuring six of Alexandria’s top craft beer bars.
Featured Locations and Beer (10 different varieties at 6 locations)
Virtue Feed and Grain – 106 South Union Street – Alexandria, Virginia 22314
Mad Scientist 6 (wet hopped strong ale)
Spice of Life (Single Hop IPA- Cascade)– This release is from a year-round effort aimed at educating hoppy beer fans on the qualities of specific hops. Each month, Sixpoint releases a single-hopped IPA paying tribute to a specific variety. Full Release Schedule Here
Chadwicks – 203 The Strand – Alexandria, VA 22314
Autumnation – Brewed with pumpkin, ginger and white pepper, and wet-hopped with just-harvested Citra hops from the oldest continually farmed hop farm in the country, it’s a burst of fresh, seasonal spice.
Pizzeria Paradiso – 124 King Street- Alexandria, VA 22162
Gemini (Double IPA) – A beast of a beer coming in at 95ish IBU and 10.8% ABV. This citrus forward IPA is smooth and goes down way to well for being so big.
Oyster Stout (American Stout) – This is a collaboration of sorts with the John Dory Oyster Bar in NYC. Oyster shells are sent straight from the restaurant to Sixpoint to a create a big, bold, mineral-laced stout.
Sweet Action (Cream Ale) – #1 cream ale in the world per Beer Advocate and obviously a great representation of a fairly obscure style.
