    Bolshoi, 3Beans, Hi-Res. When 6P goes big, they go real big.

    Sweet Action is one of my favorite forgotten styles of beer -- cream ale! And the Crisp is a super sold Pilsner (which is my favorite any day of the week style of beer).

    So yeah: they make great beers.

    I'll be cracking my first this weekend with a case of hi-res my father snagged for me back east.

    My favorite Sixpoint beers are the ones brewed at the Brooklyn Brewery location. I am not a fan of the beers brewed at the Lion Brewery in Wilkes-Barre, PA (any of the beers available in cans).

    Cheers!

    I really enjoyed the sweet action. Just a clean crisp sessionable beer. I want to try the 3 beans.

    I haven't had very many, and usually reserve my purchases for when I see them in bars. I wasn't a big fan of Resin or Apollo. I thought Bengali Tiger was very good.

    Apollo. Ive learned to appreciate Resin for what it is (a grassy, floral IPA), which upgrades it from horrid to Id buy it on draft if I see it.

    But the best was 3 Beans, I mean who else does a coffee Baltic Porter?

    I had resin once on draft and that particular beer had absolutely zero hop aroma. I can envision somebody arguing that I experienced a bad tap line issue but I go to that beer bar all the time and I have never, ever experienced bad taps there. More often than not when I had purchased canned Sixpoint beers I have experienced quality control issues.

    Cheers!

    That is my understanding.

    Any beer that is available in cans (including draft product) is brewed at the Lion Brewery in Wilkes-Barre, PA.

    Cheers!

    I'm not a big hop head, but my favorite Sixpoint beers are easily Resin and Hi-Res.

    When the weather and mood is right, Righteous hits the mark for me. Bengali on tap is a different and better beer than what is canned. It's a bit unique as we'll.

    Crisp is well overrated. 3 beans was mega and my final answer

    but is it a cream ale or a pale ale? or a wheat ale? you can't confine sixpoint to a single style :wink:

    Sweet Action.

    Just an all around remarkable beer that is so different from anything else out there.
