    I love six point. basically nothing they made that I haven't enjoyed. Hi res, resin and Bengals tiger are my favorit. But the crisp is just a really solid refreshing pils. The mad scientist stuff can be awesome. Solid brewery

    I'll cast my vote for all of them. Haven't had all of them yet, but extrapolating from the ones I have had...

    The truth is that Sixpoint's offerings are basically top-of-the-line across the board within their respective style:

    -Sensi Harvest was one of my favorite beers of 2014, and ludicrously drinkable
    -you can't get a much better Pilsner than The Crisp
    -Resin is a fabulous DIPA and far less time-sensitive than others
    -Bengali is my go-to IPA, and criminally under-discussed
    -Hi-Res is insane...nuff said
    -Global Warmer is probably the best imperial red I've ever had
    -Haven't tried Beast Mode yet...but I'm gonna go ahead and assume it will be great

    These things are well known...but I have always felt like their most under-rated/under-discussed/under-appreciated offering is Sweet Action. I don't know what the hell it's supposed to be, exactly...(cream ale/blonde ale hybrid?), but it is by far my favorite session beer.

    Long story short...can't go wrong with Sixpoint

    The Crisp is actually the hardest one to make too!

    It is appreciated...not many people get to try all of them!

    Damn, that has been some of the most flattering praise anyone has ever written about our beers. Thanks a ton from the cre at Sixpoint!

    It is already sold out, so whatever is on the shelves is all you will get until 2016.

    more on the way...

    7 months for the Resin...1 year on export beers Bengali/Crisp/Sweet Action, 3-6 months on the Cyclquids

    nice

    how did you like it?

    love it when people say that!

    I've always enjoyed Sixpoint. Resin, Hi-Res, and Global Warmer are fantastic staples if you enjoy a delicious hoppy brew. I also found my new favorite beer from them. "Sweet Action". I could buy this by the case.

    Looks like I need to buy more HI RES. Almost forgot how good this stuff is. Boom!

    found it interesting that you appear to really like the hoppy beers...but Sweet Action is your new "go-to" - glad you discovered your gem!

    Its all sold out in NJ right now, so whatever you see on the shelves is all you get for 2015....

    did you try Hi-Res yet?

    Hi-Res was damn good, definitely one of my new favorites. I snagged two four packs of it, and a sixer of Beast Mode (which was also great, the hops really compliment the porter style). I'm totally sold on Sixpoint, I'll be keeping some cans in from now on.

    What about Resin?

    No, it has not. It is still being made, but draft only.

    A hop fan, I see. Did you score the Hi-Res in NH?

    Don't quite understand your question... I liked Hi-Res tremendously, more so than Resin.

    Love Resin too, although in terms of your hoppy offerings I like Hi-Res and Bengali even more.

    Sweet Action is great too. Haven't had The Crisp or Global Warmer yet (might have missed the boat on the latter, haven't seen it around the last few weeks)

    yeah, was just saying that Resin is the middle ground between Gemini and Hi-Res, so thought it would be a good fit...

    Global Warmer is mostly gone throughout the network...but you might be able to track down a 6-pack here and there with the BeerFinder

    Might have to do that. Also for the record, not sure why Sensi didn't get more love on this site. I could see it replacing All Day as my go-to session IPA if it were a year-round offering.

    I'm more on board with The Crisp pilsner and Sweet Action cream ale. Both are very flavorful and easy drinkers.

    I'm a big IPA/DIPA drinker as well but both Res and Hi-Res had too much bitter finish for me to consider them amongst the better IPAs out there. Still ok, just personally I think they are overhyped.
