Hey @Sixpoint, I've Been Meaning To Tell You...

Sixpoint-bengali-tiger-can            Sixpoint-autumnation
You owe a debt of gratitude if not a healthy raise, promotion, contract renewal (whatever arrangement it is that you have) to your advertising, marketing, packaging gurus.  It recently became VERY clear to me that your packaging is iconic.  Immediately recognizable for what it is...a Sixpoint beer.

So many craft beers have labels that are so busy, so crowded, so convoluted, so unrelated-to-beer that I'm not sure if I'm buying a beer or a Jackson Pollock in a bottle.
So kudos to you and your cans/labels.  Simple.  Clean.  Beautiful.  Tasteful.  Immediately identifiable.  Iconic.  That goes for your beer too.

Keep 'em coming...the beers and the branding.

Cheers!

St. Pat's Recap...In Short, Lots of #Beer!

It started with some harmless sampling. Tasty enough. We then moved onto our second and third flights...this time blind. So many good beers!


Soon enough it was time for food! Homemade corned beef and cabbage with red potatoes! Nice!! Pizza for the kids...of course.


Our guests, KO Picture Show Rob and his lovely wife & son, came with a bag full o' the finest cupcakes from @CrumbsBakeShop. The Bababooey, the Artie Lange and many, many more of some of the best cupcakes you'll ever taste!

Back to beer! Stouts, porters and more stouts!  We sampled the beers below with these chocolaty delights...and more, if you can imagine.


We both puffed on a couple of Nicaragua's finest tobacco blends and smoked/drank the night away.  Finally, the kids let us know it was getting late (thank goodness for them).  So we shook hands, parted ways and now we look forward to April 20th.  We'll be heading down to Milton & Rehoboth, DE.  Look out @Dogfishbeer...here we come!

Here's to good friends & good beer!  Cheers!
