The Pursuit
Sixpoint says everyone has something that drives them, and for the Brooklyn brewery it is making good beer for good people. There is a lot more beer out there than when it started in 2004, fruity and hazy included, so for The Pursuit Sixpoint brewed a straight-up American IPA instead. Call it a curveball, call it mad science. It comes in at 6.4% ABV and belongs to the brewery's year-round core range.
