The unique thing about a six pack is that it lives beyond the initial pour. There are six of them! A sixer is like taking in a stray. It sticks around and asks to play fetch. It’s maybe cute and then annoying and then charming once again over the course of a week. You introduce it to your friends. It starts showing up in pictures. You start to wonder if this thing might stick around for good. Forever?

So with Deep Six, we ask a member of the GBH crew to capture the longevity of that relationship—to document as each can gets popped, drank, and reflected upon in tranquility.

For this sixer, Stephanie Byce visited Bottles & Cans in Chicago for a pack of Noon Whistle Cozmo Pale Ales, a 5%, hop-forward APA that she’s enjoyed a few times in the recent past.
