Sixpoint Puff

Picked 1 can up yesterday at Whole Foods Laguna Niguel (They were sold out of 4-packs ) I'll drink this tonight and let you know what I think.

 

Well, thanks to France44 I'll be getting 2 4pks of this sometime next week. Can't wait to give it a try.

 

@Sixpoint Had no idea this was coming out. Luckily, I happened to stumble across it in the fridge of one of my local stores. It's the best hoppy beer that I've had from you all by far and top 3 overall beer from you as well. Just on a whole 'nother level from either of its counterparts, Resin & Hi-Res.

@CleanFiend, I need the hookup.

But seriously, you guys are just the whole package. I love your beer, but you all take it the next level. I'm a sucker for tie-in products though, like specialty tap handles or rotating art (i.e. DFH). Hell, I'd be down for a anthropomorphic hop plush.

Also, why do you sell your enamel mugs by the pair? I just need one.

 

If you could just throw some brewery tours in there.

 

Added the 5 bolded to BA. They all sound delicious.

 

Did you send out another batch to Ohio? Because I just found some at my local stomping grounds!

 

finally found a 4-pack in CT, hyped!

also a little confused: were the papers and matches supposed to come in random 4-packs or were those an extra item if you ordered the Puff glasses off the site @Sixpoint ?

 

I had this on tap for the first (and I'm guessing only) time today. My single, lone, tiny "complaint" with the cans was that I felt like there wasn't much of a nose. Not true on draft - big, forward, dank nose. This beer rocks.

I love this beer and think I prefer it to Resin - but please make sure to bring back my beloved Hi Res! My wife loves that beer too and she "doesn't like 'hoppy beers'" - that's mad science!

 

Good looking out, I was considering stopping there to check and thanks to your post I made sure I did the other day and there was still quite a bit on the shelves.

Thank you, very helpful!

I was thinking this also. When I had my first can I was surprised at how bitter and "harsh" it was in comparison to what I thought it was going to be...kind of tasted like a single IPA to me in many ways. The second can was a wee bit smoother and I think I am going to save at least one can to age just a bit to see how it mellows out.

I am definitely enjoying it but as it stands now I am giving the slight nudge to Resin if comparing.

 

Well you are pretty spoiled up there.

 

@Sixpoint Great double IPA Shane, I expected it to be more cloudy based on the name and marketing but it looks like based on the reviews thus far of the beer that it surpasses Resin even though Puff is "practically" the same beer?!? This goes to show you the current popular trend of unfiltered beers right now, and yea the extra dry hopping helped out too . But seriously, just think about the fact that you might have to start producing beers like you did in 2004/2005 again!

But Im sure that if you did if would cause you some issues with the shelf life of your beers as you export them overseas.

Any thoughts on this?

 

Liked Puff....Really Liked Resin

 

I thought that Puff was excellent. I rather like Resin and Hi-Res too.

 

I had a few pours of this over the weekend and picked up a 4-pack, too. Puff is just really, really good. Well done @Sixpoint!

 

Ha. Yep! That said, I enjoy IPAs from all over the country. We just started getting Firestone Walker up here and I'm hooked.

 

YEP!

 

Was supposed to receive my shipment from France44, but FedEx dropped the ball. Hard.

Spoiler: My Chat with Customer Support

Inquiry Description : I was scheduled to receive a FedEx delivery today, and despite the fact that I've not left my apartment all day, I received a delivery exception notice.

( 16s ) Braden: Hello, Mark
( 37s ) Mark M: I'm researching your package now. Just give me a moment.
( 1m 10s ) Mark M: Thank you for waiting. Upon checking your package is going to be delivered tomorrow - June 8. Historically, FedEx Home Delivery shipments are delivered between11:40 - 16:55 in this area, but exact delivery times may vary.
( 1m 14s ) Mark M: This package has Adult Signature Requirement meaning the driver will gather signature in any person at the address age 21 and above. You can have someone from yourself to be available to sign for the shipment age 21 and above also (relative, neighbor or building manager).
( 1m 18s ) Mark M: You may wish to continue monitoring your shipment to obtain updated status by using our online tracking page or contact us again for updates, okay?
( 1m 21s ) Mark M: Braden, is there anything else I can assist you with today?
( 1m 44s ) Braden: Yes. There was no attempt to deliver my package today, when it was supposed to be delivered. I've been home all day waiting on it.
( 1m 55s ) Braden: I won't be home tomorrow because I'll be working.
( 5m 6s ) Braden: When I review the tracking information the log states that there was a delivery exception at 4:42 pm, but if there had been an attempt to deliver my package then, there should have been no problem because the doors to my apartment building are left wide open between 8am and 5pm while the leasing office employees are in the office.
( 5m 54s ) Mark M: I understand, but we only deliver packages at the address stated on the label. However, you may request to hold this package for pick up, but it will be available within 1 to 2 business days.
( 5m 54s ) Mark M: You can also provide delivery instructions using our FedEx Delivery Manager. Just use this link http://www.fedex.com/us/delivery/ and then sign up, and select "Provide Delivery Instructions".
( 7m 25s ) Braden: Okay, I don't know what you're trying to say "you only deliver at the address stated on the label."
( 7m 55s ) Braden: Checking my email, the address given is, "1980 Belcher Drive Apt C3 COLUMBUS, OH 43224 US"
( 8m 23s ) Mark M: Yes, the address is correct.
( 8m 50s ) Braden: Well, what I'm saying is, I have literally not left my apartment, Apt C3, all day.
( 9m 13s ) Braden: To get to my apartment, one has to enter the building, whose doors were wide open since 8am this morning.
( 9m 47s ) Braden: So from where I'm sitting, it seems impossible to me that any attempt to deliver my package was made whatsoever.
( 11m 0s ) Mark M: I perfectly understand your concern, though, to set your expectations we don't have eyes on the field that's why we can't really, tell what happened with the delivery. The information we gather and give you are mostly from the driver's update as well.
( 11m 22s ) Braden: I know you don't.
( 11m 45s ) Braden: How can I go about having the package held for me at a local office?
( 12m 12s ) Braden: I'm just frustrated to have wasted most of my day and now I'll have to go and pick it up myself on another day.
( 13m 2s ) Mark M: I understand and I do apologize for any inconvenience. Do you want to hold your package for pick up?
( 14m 1s ) Braden: My package requires ID and a signature, so since I won't be home tomorrow, that's what I have to do, yes.

 

it's by far my favorite Sixpoint beer!

honestly it's one of my favorite beers ever. easily in my top 10. i started with 2 4packs and i picked up another. might even pick up another 4pack on thursday. it's $10.99 for a 4pack which is fine with me.

i picked up Resin to sample it alongside Puff and i still strongly prefer Puff. get it while you can! i love this beer

 

According to my ratings, it's my second favorite sixpoint beer after Double Sweet Action.

Had them both on tap recently.

 

Unbelievable beer. Wish I could sample along side fresh hopslam and abrasive.
