Hi-Res 2016 - distribution details, updates, changes & video

thanks! I appreciate it!

 

seems at least in central NJ in the span of one year, Sixpoint has went from extremely reliable availability (stacks on floor) to very hyped and likely-sold-out-if-you're-not-there-day-of-delivery territory. am curious if it's the byproduct of hype, decreased NJ allotments, or both.

props to the brewery for making great beers and making their national growth possible. just bummed that their seasonals are no longer something that NY/NJ consumers can get easily if they're at their local a few days within delivery :/ was hoping Hi-Res would be in abundance like last year (my local Garys literally had a stack of it to the ceiling last year at front of store) and C.R.E.A.M would be available on shelves for months like Sensi and their other seasonals typically are. secured the last 6er of C.R.E.A.M at my store a day or so after delivery so relieved there, but Hi-Res has passed me by one less fresh IPA option at stores in NJ, where there aren't many of them.

 

No luck thus far finding this in northwest Indiana. Knowing how our distribution works, they're probably holding it.

 

I think you're right on. Both Hi-Res and C.R.E.A.M. were sold out without two days of hitting shelves near me in CNJ. Bengali and Resin are usually readily available though.

 

Any cans hit Ohio yet?

 

Not seen this or cream , never saw jammer either. Oh well. Maybe one day.



Enjoy

 

Any idea when this will hit NH? I loves me some hi-res! Just picked up a sixer of resin over the weekend and got a reminder of the amazing powers of sixpoint!

 

My usual go-to shops here in the Akron area only got Hi Res in draft / kegs - they told me they were being told their distro (distributor - Cavalier reps) people were not sure cans would hit Ohio...

@Sixpoint - what's up with that, Shane? True? Why draft before cans here?

 

That would be very odd ya places here got kegs and tapped them already figured by now cans would be all over it sold very well last year in cans

 

Same story here in VA - been getting the "hopefully next week" since before the kegs hit.

 

Heard the same thing.

 

@Sixpoint - Was less Hi-Res (and CREAM) made this year? I've only seen CREAM once in one place, and the amount of Hi-Res around is like nothing compared to last year. I was hoping to score a bunch of H-R, but I've only been able to pick up a few packs here and there.

 

The decrease in availability for Hi-Res is the most I've ever seen for a relatively basic seasonal release from one year to the next

 

My rep said the same. D:

 

Great news thank you!

 

Okay thanks! I was getting worried it might not be coming. VA got the 1st version of Jammer but 2.0 never made it to distro. I was worried this might be something similar where we only saw kegs (which, had I bought a keg for the house - problem solved, next time!). My local shop probably thanks you too, so I can stop bothering them about when it's coming in!

 

Awesome news thanks!!!!
