    This years hi-res is great. So far I've only had it on tap on a visit to Chicago this week, I'm looking forward to the cans!

    1 4pk is enough for me @Sixpoint its good but too much competition in Minneapolis and your brew @ $12 is just average IMO it just does not warrant another purchase.

    Got the shaft again this week in Lancaster co. They even told me yesterday that ACE had it but no show today.

    Thanks for your interest here, Brian. Hi-Res is indeed in stock at Ace right now but in kegs only. In Lancaster proper it has recently been delivered to Tellus 360 and Station House Tavern if you'd like to give it a shot on tap. Golden Crust Pizza, Beermongers and Stone Grille & Tap have received deliveries in the York area.

    What about cans? Are they on the way? I thought we were going to see this in January like previous years.

    Picked up a can today. This was my first time trying it and was really good! Surprisingly drinkable for bordering on Triple IPA territory. Smelled and looked fantastic too

    Finally arrived Friday in Wisconsin - worth the wait. Really enjoying this year's iteration. Still have to say 2014>2016 but not by much.

    Hopefully it ( cans that is ) will finally arrive in Lancaster, PA this week. So far this has been the "drooling over" beer of 2016. Especially since I've been seeing pics, reading reviews since January! Can't wait to get my hands on a case as I look forward to this more and more each year. ( more than that overrated DIPA brewed with honey that comes out @ the same time, I turned down a case in favor of Hi Res. )

    Finally (surprisingly?) found some Hi-Res up here in Maine, picked up a can to try it out. Went back the next day and bought my limit. Hi-Res is now in my nectar of the gods category.

    The direct customer feedback is its the best year yet, which is vindicating for us, given the subtle tweaks we made to processes and formulation. But we'd like to hear your honest feedback...enjoy
