USA, NY: Sixpoint Brewery introduces wheat ale Apollo to its seasonal rotation

In a big departure from its usually hops-heavy line-up, Sixpoint Brewery in Redhook has just introduced Apollo, a wheat ale, to its seasonal rotation, Gothamist.com reports.

The new brew is a collaboration between Sixpoint founder and president Shane Welch and Sixpoint Brewmaster and German-native Jan Matysiak, whose travels, tastings, and tourings around the Bavarian country-side inspired the duo to bring the flavors the country's weizens back to Brooklyn.

Apollo is the first-ever summer installment for Sixpoint, with white packaging "to reflect the sun" and a namesake that alludes to a critical ingredient: ancient Bavarian white wheat ale yeast.
