    CT sold out of their stock. Whatever is on the shelves is all you get. Better stock up.

    Bummer...what a horrible affliction. Oh well, at least you are not allergic to beer!

    Resin occupies a semi-permanent place on a particular shelf in my fridge - it seems to be the perfect height for Sixpoint boxes. :wink:

    Tried RAD for the first time after a 5k today. Definitely different, but it definitely worked! I love the fact that it's 3.2% ABV. Tart, but not real sour (not like sour beer level of sour). Refreshing. I think it hit the mark, definitely. Full review probably by the second can, in the near future, but post-run, it was a great drink. (My satisfaction with this brew is echoed over on WBAYDN?.)

    Re: CT, it showed up for me yesterday, purchased today. I have no idea how much the local stores received, but I do know that it just arrived.

    The only thing I'm good at is riding this bike! And now I have a chance to be the best, maybe the best in the world!

    Drank a can last night. Excellent. Saving the rest for this weekend when it's in the 80's.

    Tried it. It takes u by surprise and then gets better and better with each sip. So refreshing. Made me feel like I was on a beach chair in a poster card-esque location. Very gutsy beer, also picked up SIX packs of the crisp and bengali while i was at it. keep up the great work Sixpoint.

    I hate to be a narc...but I dont mind that much. Has anyone else seen this overpriced? West Orange total wine had it priced at $10.50, seems a little steep for a 3.5%

    Yessssss came across a few cases at my local bottle shop. This could be the perfect "pool beer" for 2014.

    Both of those are too high. It should be no more than $8.99, with $7.99 more likely.

    @Sixpoint, any idea when this will hit Texas? Sounds like this will be the perfect summer beer. Thanks!
