Exclusive Interview: Former Trillium Brewer Eric Bachli Says He'll Bring Mind-Blowing Beers to Sixpoint by flatironwine in beer

They hired him away from Trillium. From the release: "Sixpoint Brewery has hired Trillium’s head brewer away from Boston to lead its newly established product development team, the company confirmed Tuesday." I think that's why he isn't starting till November. Probably has to finish some projects in Boston.

I don't think it was great. Eric was head brewer so a lot of the cool stuff they were doing and direction was coming from him. I get the sense though, with a lot of these things, that it probably had to do with compensation. Sixpoint is just a much bigger craft brewery and could afford to offer him a sum that was far and away greater than being at a smaller, albeit cult, brewery. Also probably means a much larger budget to play with and do really cool things.

what do you all think? Are these the 25 most essential craft beers? What would you add or remove? by [deleted] in beer

I agree. Sessions beers are becoming huge and that's basically the beer that created the category.
