This past weekend was my birthday (Happy Belated Birthday to
me) and while I am not much of a birthday person I did want to visit a brewery,
but it had to meet two requirements. First, it had to be one of the few I had
not been to on the passport, and next, it had to allow dogs. Six Pack Brewing
in Bristol met both requirements so my girlfriend, Bradley, and I all got into
the car and made the trek out there and let me tell you, we were not
disappointed.
While located in a plaza with other businesses there are tables out front on the patio for a nice little outdoor area. The inside is quite spacious with ample tables and a couch more towards the back. However, what really makes the vibe of Six Pack are the owners and their professional greeter, Sheldon. Sheldon is an eleven-year-old Beagle/Italian Greyhound mix who is the first thing you see when pulling up. He and Bradley became great friends although the older Sheldon did not want of play non-stop with the one-and-a-half-year-old pup and would come over to us for extra pets. The owners are two of the nicest people you will ever meet and will not only spend extra time talking with you but your dog as well. The best word to sum up Six Pack? Cozy. Like going back to your parent’s house and having a beer, but in the best way possible.
Now this is not a blog about aesthetics or kindness, it is a blog about beer and let me tell you their beer is great. I was able to try a few of their offerings and I was very happy. The New England IPA had a hop blend that I had never encountered before that had a nice bitterness up front with a lingering funkiness to its finish. The West Coast IPA was textbook, with a big hop flavor and a long and lingering bitterness. Their cherry sour was light, flavorful, and perfectly tart. However, the peanut butter milk stout ‘Penny’ was the big standout. A rich peanut butter taste upfront that gives way to a rich and creamy finish, plus it was on nitro which is always a personal favorite.
While they are one of our newer breweries I am excited to see what they do next and will definitely be back. Plus, Bradley will want to see his newest friends again.
Six Pack Brewing is located at 87 Gooding Ave. Bristol, RI
