    I saw they had one label approved by TABC, what gives? Did they do that just to get a leg in the door? I thought most of the expenditure is getting in here and then after that each label approval is a much lower cost? Can someone shed some light on this (if they legitimately know what they are saying?

    Sixpoint will be handled by Favorite Brands in the DFW area, speaking only for us we will be ordering our first shipment within 2 weeks and should receive delivery no more than 2 weeks after that. We are really excited to be bring Sixpoint to the DFW market, I hope everyone is as excited as we are!!

    Are they bringing in their whole assortment? I didn't see any other approvals

    I am really looking forward to Sixpoint. Gorilla Warfare and Righteous Ale will get me through many camping trips.

    Silver Eagle is carrying Sixpoint in Houston and San Antonio. It should be hitting shelves this week. Not sure about other markets.

    Very cool to see this on the horizon. Resin sounds like my type of beer.

    Resin is good. Nice big ipa that's done well. Not harshly astringent.

    Hopefully to the burbs soon. I already drank 4 of them and this might just become my every day beer. :grinning:

    Super lame this is not in Austin. BEK seems to hate breweries with the word 'Point' in their name. Oh Sculpin, how I want you.

    Houston doesn't get Balast Point either. That said, Sculpin is overrated anyways. Only DFW is cool kid enough to get their overpriced beer.

    I hope Austin and other Texas locales get Sixpoint soon.

    Sculpin is solid. For the price they just have crazy competition. I get my fix on draft, where the Saucer has it for $3 pint night (same with 471). At retail price Big Eye is better bang... Wish we would get more of that lineup

    Maybe I need to try this again, but I had it at Common Table and thought it was middle of the pack. Then I saw the price for a bomber and was floored.

    I have a Sea Monster in the Cellar and their Victory at Sea was pretty tasty.

    Fresh + draft it's tasty. I nabbed very fresh bottles from the first and second shipments...much like Ruination it's a timing thing for me. The booze isn't big enough to hide diminished aroma.

    Does anyone know the expected pricepoint for Resin, et al?
