Who Shrunk the Sixpoint?

Totally worth it. But yes, I was in quite shock when I opened my 4 pack up to see the skinny cans.

 

They announced on the old forums that they would be in 12oz cans to avoid having to raise the price of their 4-packs and because bigger beers should be in smaller serving sizes.

 

I wonder if the smaller packaging is to compensate for the higher ABV.

 

It is.

 

I like the smaller cans. Feels like I could fool people into thinking I was having an energy drink in public.

 

Ah yes, the cans that sparked the infamous "Tall Boy" debate.

 

I feel like I should try this beer to see what all the skinny can fuss is about. My bottle shop only has them packed in the 4 packs for $10, so I haven't actually seen the can in person.

 

I like the packaging, haven't tried the beer yet, though!

 

I was going to pick up a 4 pack of the Resin, but it was $14 at my local bottle shop!

 

Haven't seen them yet, gonna have to look for them now.

 

I had to double take when I saw this. I thought it was some sort of optical illusion, looked too much like the Red Bull cans. No problem with it though, 12oz of a Big, Hoppy beer is quite alright for me.

 

Can't wait until they make it to CT! Hopefully we'll get all Of their offerings

 

Someone should send me one of these cans so I can closely inspect it and weigh in on the issue.

 

Resin is delicious. I was waiting a few months for this to come out and is totally worth the wait.

 

I was a little skeptical of the RedBull cans but the beer is quite refreshing and woth the price.

 

I loved the can (and the decision to offer a stronger beer in a smaller container - too often brewers seem to go the opposite way, which makes little sense to me), but sadly found the beer to be a bit disappointing. Smelled nice, tasted boring. Oh well.

Cheers to more craft in cans!

 

I gotta say I was pretty let down with Resin, I though it was too malty for a DIPA and it had an odd taste in the finish like all Sixpoint beers do for me. It's like they replaced the hops with pennies or something. After every sip I feel like I just licked loose change. I keep buying their beer on the novelty of the packaging and every time I've been let down. Someday I will learn to stay away.

 

Pretty soon all their cans will go to 12 oz talls, then other brewers will follow.
Then they'll move to 9 oz talls and there will be 3 cans per box
..but it will be a triangular box so no one notices.

Of course the price will still remain the same, citing the economy.

 

Don't worry, it's worth it.
