    Sucks by a mile, but Lags not releasing the allegedly year round 32 oz Sucks is starting to pizz me off.

    How does Sucks hold up btw? I saw a ton of it at my store this weekend and I'm assuming it's old.

    Drinking a DirtWolf as I type this. Good not great. Still thoroughly disappointed.

    I noticed a difference after about 3 months. Went from amazing to middle of the road in that time. Was surprised at the change..............this one has gotta be fresh. Or close to it.

    Just had DirtWolf for the first time tonight, and while good, is not quite on the same level as Sucks. They have similar hop profiles, but DirtWolf is a little heavier and maltier than Sucks.

    ONLY if it is fresh. Once it ages, loses it edge. Got to try the Tabby, a personal favorite...........

    Sucks reminds me of the last time I drank my cat's piss. Apparently a lot of people like that flavor. I'll take $50 for my cat, if anyone is interested.

    I can tell you first hand that Sucks sucks if it's not fresh. Drainpour!

    Can't really do a side by side since it has been a while since I have had Sucks, but I was very Meh about Dirtwolf. It was a good beer, but nothing that I would go out of my way to find. Then again I just had my first ever 6-pack of CC Jai Alai....

    Just had Dirtwolf for the first time yesterday evening. It is a solid IIPA, but it is no Sucks.

    You are right, just because it's cheap it doesn't necessarily mean it can't be world class. That being said, Hop Stoopid is not one of those beers. Hop Stoopid is good, but people get waaaay carried away with it. World class it's not.

    Greetings BA'rs. The first run of 32oz Sucks will be next week but due to our capacity constraints CA will be the only distribution area. As Chicago comes alive we'll expand that. It's capacity that has kept that genie in the bottle, so to speak.

    To those who say that Sucks doesn't age well, I take comfort in the knowledge that you'll never get to taste it pre-natal from a fermenter. Personally, I won't drink it after day -1 just before bottling. I feel your pain... Oh wait... No I don't!

    Cheers....
