Beer + Hot Lava Rocks = Dr. Klankenstein Stein Brewing

Who (else) knew lava rocks had such magical powers?

Brooklyn’s Sixpoint Craft Ales, that’s who.

Apparently the ancient beer masters would use 1000 degree lava rocks to make beer. To resurrect this ancient art, called Stein Brewing, Sixpoint partnered with The Museum of Modern Art‘s adjoining restaurant The Modern. Then they got Aaron Ekroth to help tell the story. Beautifully, may I add.

See Sixpoint founder Shane Welch and their engineer Dave Liatti in Sixpoint Craft Ales : The Making of Dr. Klankenstein.

Visit Sixpoint Craft Ales.

(Thanks, Bob!)
