    Global Warmer is really good - had it on draft a few weeks back. I was pleasantly surprised.

    Will have to try today. Is that a red IPA or just red ale. Thinking its a red IPA or dips.

    It's not really an IPA, I don't think, but it drinks like one. It has a nice hoppiness and crispness to it. It's not a darker or ruby red in color, either, but it also isn't all that light. I think you'll enjoy it. It's well-balanced.

    I love Sweet Action, Bengali and the Crisp. Each are outstanding! My wife who is not a huge beer drinker got hooked on Sweet Action, she know always buys a six pack of it at Trader Joe's.

    Hard to pigeonhole Sixpoint beers into style guidelines. After 10 years of feedback from our fans about the obscure and enigmatic nature of our beer names and packaging, we decided to evolve our new packaging to include (the closest resembling) style guideline on the side.

    Although Global Warmer is listed as an "Imperial Red" its sort of a Brown Ale x IPA x Winter Warmer x Bock x Homebrewed Dankity Dank. Something to help cope with the relatives at the holidaze. ;-)

    right on, the cans have all been sold, should be around a few more weeks before the trade is depleted

    see above - hard to pin this one down!

    its a great spot...

    nice - if she does the grocery shopping, one for you, one for her! :-)

    @Sixpoint Definitely up there with those of yours that I've had. Might be my favorite of your hoppy offerings. Reminds me of Nugget Nectar. I did prefer the Tocobaga Red from CCB a bit more though.

    Sixpoint sneakily ended up making some of my favorite beers of several beer styles. Resin is one of my favorite DIPAs. Hi-res favorite TIPA. Crisp is my favorite pils. 3Beans one of my favorite coffee beers. Sweet Action one of my favorite cream ales.

    I haven't had a beer by Sixpoint that I didn't like. I love the Crisp, such a great pilsner.
    This past summer I had a terribly long and miserable return flight from overseas. So many little things kept going wrong...The short of it is it cost me a lot of money and I had to stay at London Heathrow Terminal 2 for 24 hours before boarding. I didn't have much money on me after shelling out the cash to get home, there was a bar in the terminal and it had Sixpoint, it happened to have The Crisp on sale for .99p a can. I thought to myself, finally I get a break today. I went from this :angry: to this :sunglasses: in a matter of a few seconds. Thanks Sixpoint. :slight_smile:

    I'd like to retract my previous answer. Just had Xporter from cask. Yep, going with Xporter. Had it in NYC. Correct me if I'm wrong. This batch was brewed by you guys in NYC and Adnams collaborated on recipe?

    Haven't had many of their beers since they're not in MO and I only seem to find them on my occasional trips to Indiana and Chicago. But I'd have to say that Resin is my favorite.

    You can be sure I'll be grabbing some, along with Beast Mode. Curious to see if I notice a difference from last year. Thanks for the heads up!

    Other than Resin, I really like Sweet Action! I was really hoping to visit the brewery but they weren't offering tours last Spring went I was in in NYC. Great beers though.
