Drink Local
Sixpoint Craft Ales, the Red Hook brewery, will not be changing its name, despite the fact that it’s just perfected its first lager, called Poppa’s Pilz. The new brew is refreshingly dry and hoppy and fairly cries out for a nice bratwurst, which is exactly what it will be paired with at Kettle of Fish (59 Christopher St., nr. Seventh Ave. S.; 212-414-2278) on February 20 to celebrate Sixpoint’s second anniversary. Poppa’s Pilz sans German sausage will be available in early February in a 64-ounce growler for $14.99 at Bierkraft (191 Fifth Ave., nr. Berkeley Pl., Park Slope, Brooklyn; 718-230-7600) and American Beer Distributing Company (256 Court St., nr. Butler St.; Cobble Hill, Brooklyn; 718-875-0226).
