    The Hi-Res was one of my favorite beers last year, so I was psyched to see there will be another round of it. I tired the sixpoint app, but it shows hi-res everywhere, and I've called some stores, and no one seems to have it yet.

    Has anyone found any in CT yet?

    I called craft beer guild distributing last week, they said that stores would start getting it early this week (didn't specify if that meant starting today). Hoping to find some today on the way to work, but who knows what with the storm coming.

    You can call craft beer guild here:

    Found some at Austins in Worcester. Wishing I hadn't it's not very good.

    I got a 4-pack at Julios (and have seen it in a few restaurants).

    I liked it better than Resin. I thought it was decent, and I might order one at a bar, but I probably won't buy another 4-pack.

    Got some at Downtown Wine in Davis. Disappointed by this. Sweet flavor, definitely less harsh alcohol than last year, that's about it.

    OP, idk what part of CT you're in, but I saw plenty at Halftime in Westchester yesterday. It's just a short ride for those of us in Fairfield County. Also, it was on tap at Prime 16 New Haven and Mikro over the weekend.

    There's a bunch in Rhode Island. Not sure where in CT you are, but the Smithfield/Providence area has some.

    I have 2 cans left and I can say that I'm not a huge fan of the beer. Too boozy for my liking.

    landed in NE CT near Storrs today. I didnt get any last year but, like Devil Dancer, I'd say it's about what a triple IPA is supposed to be. Its not overly hot but it's definitely sweet

    There seems to be plenty in NH right now saw it at Barb's in Concord on Sat. and later in the day at Bert's in Hooksett.
    Bought 1 4/pk and wasn't impressed really. Figure the other 3 cans will be extras in a trade or two.

    Loved it last year but I am concerned for this year`s version, last year was 11.1% but drank so nicely. Only got through 3 out of a 6-pack the new Resin cans this year, super sweet/boozy and that is only 9%.

    Sounds like getting a single first is the way to go.

    Sounds like the "tweaking" Sixpoint did to it did not make it better. I enjoyed it a lot last year but may just get a single this year, as recommended above. Coopers Corner in Florence Mass. had a pic of new stuff in including Hi-Res on Facebook this past week.

    Love it, and Resin, even a blend of the two for a nice Mid-Res. I'm also so happy I'm not as discerning as most folks that seem to have daily/weekly bummers over beer not living up to some predetermined expectation.

    feedback on the aggregate has been positive by a vast majority, and most customers love the upgrades to the beer. We have been sold out for a couple of weeks, so whatever you see on the shelves is all there will be until 2016. cheers
