What a long strange trip it’s been! On this week’s episode of Beer Sessions Radio™, we catch up with the team at Sixpoint from Red Hook, Brooklyn. Host Jimmy Carbone is joined by winter guest co-host Anne Becerra (Anne Likes Beer) as Jimmy reflects on the first time he had the Sixpoint Bengali IPA, one of the first beers he ever served at his pub, Jimmy’s No. 43.
They ask Sixpoint’s head brewer Danny Bruckert how he got started in beer (by way of a brew kit!) and how he went from self-taught brewer to the American Brewers Guild program to head brewer at Sixpoint.
Also in the studio are Shane Henderson and Brendan Cost from Southern Tier Brewing Co. (they were making a call at host location Roberta’s so we brought them in to talk about their SMASH beer that they’ll be serving up at NYC Brewer’s Choice).
The life of a brewer isn’t as romantic as some might dream, but the love of brewing keeps these NY State brewers innovating and making beers as part of a “masochistic hobby.” Hear about the technical aspects as well as the favorite styles of the panel.
You can listen to the full epsiode here. And be sure to friend us on Untappd (you can find us as Beer_Sessions_Radio and drink along with us!).
