TODAY, Saturday January 29 in Asbury Park at Langosta Lounge, there is a special Sixpoint event. 4 special beers on tap to be paired with 4 styles of wings! Party starts at noon. The restaurant is located on the beach at 1000 Ocean Avenue in Asbury Park, NJ and on the web at www.langostalounge.com.
These are the beers and wing styles that are going to be paired up together.
Righteous Ale with Wasabi Teriyaki
Sweet Action with Habanero Honey
Crisp with Thai Chili Lime
Diesel with Caribbean Jerk
The beer descriptions are below and if you don’t know Brooklyn’s Sixpoint you are missing out. I was at their release party in Jersey a few years back and I haven’t stopped drinking their amazing craft beer selections.
Righteous Ale
The Righteous Ale is unlike nearly all beers which are usually made with malted barley or wheat. This beer uses a proportion of rye in the mash which lends an unmistakable sharp and distinct flavor. Seasoned with pungent American hops, this beer is our designated “beer drinkers” beer. 6.5% ABV
Sweet Action
The Sweet Action Cream Ale is our most basic interpretation of what makes beer great — sweetness from the barley malt and active spice from the hops. It is hazy golden in color, with a sweet honey aroma, and a dry, crisp flavor. 5.2% ABV
Diesel Stout
The Diesel is our version of stout, and with a name like “stout” we needed something with character…something with substance. Something with a deep roasted flavor, something with a full-bodied toffee sweetness. Something with cleansing, citrus, and grassy hop bitterness after every swallow. 6.3% ABV
Sixpoint Crisp
The Sixpoint Crisp is a celebration of all things that make Pilsner beer great: crisp, clean flavors – soft, subtle malt honey and lots of peppery hops. To brew this beer, we sourced a very special floor-malted variety of Moravian malt, found exclusively in the Czech Republic. We then combine this malt with two other proprietary varieties in a simple and unique grain bill, and turn our attention and focus to the hops – in which we source varieties from both the United States and Germany. An extended cold-lagering phase allows this beer to finish clean, and beckons you for another sip. 5% ABV
