    Whoa, my eyes are getting fuzzy, and I have not even had my Hi Res fix for the day (will be having a HR and new Beast Mode in a few hours!).....haha

    Love the way you think!

    Outside the box, the beer can, or bottle....keep innovating!

    I'm yet to be disappointed by them, Hi-Res is a top notch DIPA, the Crisp is a very good pilz, Bengali is a great, easy drinking yet complex ale, sweet action is very smooth and tasty, Resin is a delicious IPA, they really do great work.

    Like others have said, never been unhappy with a beer from Sixpoint. I'm currently hunting for Hi-Res and Beast Mode, hopefully I can snatch some before they're gone

    I enjoyed a whole bunch of Sweet Actions in my Sly Fox can glass when I had it on tap at home. It was awesome. Sessionable, drinkable and really delicious. My next purchase is going to be a keg of either Bengali or The Crisp....or maybe even a Hi-Res if I can get my hands on one :wink:

    Try every beer you saw on that display! All are excellent...my first sixpoint beer i tried was sweet action and the innovation of that beer caught my attention so go with that if you want just one

    Recently they aded what syle the beer is on the box of cans. Great addition to the already great packaging. Prior to knowing much about their beer there was no beer style listed. Yea ya i read above "Don't let others tell you what beer should taste like" but I would like the brewery to give me something to go on, others must have thought the same.

    Thanks Sixpoints

    Yeah, sometimes it appears that the Sixpoint folks suffer from Dissociative identity disorder. Sometimes they state the beer style on the packaging (e.g., Crisp = Pilsner (PILZ) and sometimes they don’t (e.g., Sweet Action = Ale).

    I really don’t care as long as they still continue to produce tasty beer!!!!!

    Cheers!

    Hi-Res, but all the stuff they put out is quality.

    Definitely seek out some Hi-Res, Sweet Action, and any draft offerings that may come your way. While I've never had a bad Sixpoint brew, there are other pilsners/IPA's out there. Sweet action and Hi-Res are each in a league of their own, and their limited draft releases are constantly pushing boundaries. They're not so much defined by what they do best, but by what they do differently. That's my kind of brerwery

    Haven't had any Sixpoint brews yet, but I did see some at my store earlier this week. Stayed home from work feeling like crap today, so tomorrow will hopefully be the day to pick some up.

    Make sure you try Beast Mode and Hi Res as they are seasonal as others have said. I enjoy all of their core offerings with The Crisp being my favorite. I really enjoy a well made lager and Sixpoint nailed this one. It is a hoppy American take on a German pilsner.

    So I decided on the HIRES and it is glorious...
    It is going down so easy. I never would guess it has a 10+ abv..

    I definitely need to try more from this brewery!

    I was torn between HIRES and Beast Mode.
    The tie breaker was the fact that my Pats are playing the Seahawks so you know....

    the next beer that I try will be Beast Mode though..

    Picked up some Beast Mode and Hi Res tonight. Had a BM, very good. I love the little hoppy finish. And it's also extremely drinkable with no loss on flavor.
