    Its not a big deal, we are happy to lead people in the right direction. However, it should be noted that its best to read the entire thread before asking a question that has already been answered multiple times. Also, as this forum states, its not intended for questions, so there's that as well.

    All that being said, we are getting some updates now from our wholesalers as to distribution, so the mobile BeerFinder app should be updated with multiple accounts by the end of this week. Thanks for your patience.

    cheers

    I hereby vote for Sixpoint as the most awesomely active brewer on BeerAdvocate. I have never seen a brewery give so much attention and feedback (as well as teasers) to us as a community.

    Kudos to you and keep up the great work. (Btw..I'm on the wait list at my favorite bottle shop for the Hi-Res release, can't wait).

    For the record, I was not responding in anger, it just bothers me that people on here seem to know so little about how beer is distributed, and ask questions that have been asked and answered already.....no one is better than anyone else, that is not the point....READ the thread before you post something, like a community is supposed to be doing....also, do your homework on the beers you are looking for, it is not that difficult.....there is no magic formula Shane from Sixpoint, or any other brewer can answer about their beers being in your community on a certain day, etc....if you are a true "beer advocate", get to know the people at the beer / bottle shops you frequent, find out who the distributors and their reps are, and when your store gets deliveries from various brewers.....I have been doing that for years, and it is all part of the fun.....posting something like..."when will we see it in NJ / OH or wherever", just shows a complete lack of understand on something that is pretty simple to obtain for yourself....stupidity and laziness bothers me!

    Ok, time for a beer and off my soapbox!

    I echo this. 3beans is one of my ALLTIME favorite beers. I still have one can in my fridge and I can't bring myself to drink it. Please, bring it back.

    I picked up a four pack of cans for $8.99 (in Connecticut). I think that is a fair price.

    If anyone wants to sent out 2 packs very soon, I can set you up with some Cali stuff. Maybe even port's new cans

    Happy to report the distributors in select markets have now delivered us the sales info so our BeerFinder can help locate exactly where the HI-RES is in select areas. You can visit it online or download the Sixpoint app for your phone to figure out if the info is available in your area. cheers

    Bought a 4 pack yesterday and drank a can last night. I'm impressed, very solid beer.

    Picked up some last night at Kay's Wines in East Hartford. Agree with the folks above, its a very nice double IPA..

    We're doing a live tasting on Saturday 1/25 of this beer with 10 Beer Heads from across the country. Should be a fun time and good way to learn about the beer if you have not tried it yet. Simultap!

    For what it's worth, I'm enjoying Global Warmer MUCH more than this year's iteration of Celebration. That said, back to topic. I'm VERY excited to try Hi-Res...

    Resin is great. Push it telling your customers it may as well be a California DIPA...

    I just wanted to say nice avatar six point. I won't post much in this thread as I don't want to confuse.

    Loved Global Warmer and keep us updated on the barrel aged 3beans. I have just one more can of the reg 3beans in the cellar, and I thought it was fantastic.

    Would you ever can something like Old Redhooker? That was my super bowl growler last year, and needless to say I don't remember much of the game after the blackout/delay, because that stuff killed me. My wife was not pleased :slight_smile:

    For your information, angry guy, I did go on the beerfinder website BEFORE asking my oh so annoying question of "hey anyone in NJ see this one or know when it's coming?" question and I couldn't find the answer. So I asked here, only to get your weird rant as a response. Wouldn't it have been easier for you to scroll on by? What did reading my post cost you, a half a second of the precious time you're spending reading a beer website. Lighten up!

    By the way, just had this. Incredible stuff. Analogies to Alpine Expo Hoppiness and a "triple" IPA version of Double Jack.

    I too can't wait for BA 3Beans. That is an absurd beer and I couldn't imagine how good a BA version would be.

    Albeit their stuff floats from 12 oz to 16 oz between releases, I'm very appreciative that the price point of all their 4 packs remains at $8.99.

    Can't wait for this stuff to hit NJ next week.

    So can you tell me when this beer will get to my local store? I really like Voodoo Magic but can't seem to find any around me.

    Enjoy

    Depends on where your "local store" is. Without knowing where you are, that's kind of a problem ;-)

    The BeerFinder on our Website is a great tool for this, and you don't need to ask on this forum as a result.

    cheers
