    I'm out on the north shore by Stony Brook. My local shop got a case or two in just last week, which was nice to say. It's starting to lose a bit of its hop punch but remains extremely delicious.

    Just saw the new edition of the New Beer Guide from Brewhound and it has the release of "Lagunitas Sucks Quarts" slated for 10/1/2013:grinning:

    Sorry about the misspelling it was from a "Brewbound" news letter.

    That should be declared a national holiday!

    This beer is not describable. Right when you think it to be cloyingly sweet it fans out into some roastiness and balance that remains intriguing. I like to drink two of these and talk politics and religion.

    funny how this beer wasn't insanely popular it's first year, but from what I understand the recipe changed a bit and the second year's version was a more intense beer.

    I was introduced to Brown Shugga by my old roommate, and we loved it...then I happened to stumble across Sucks one day, read the label, and then it was off from there. Next time I went to that store, it was gone. Shoulda bought more.

    Sucks.

    It was insanely popular the first year. It was the popularity of the first year that drove the hype of the second year.

    I also think it tasted better the 2nd year, way better than the 1st year IMO

    Like it but my heart goes to Brown Shugga every time. It was a long and tough winter when it wasn't brewed and Sucks just couldn't fill the void.

    Tony said a few days ago that Sucks would only be in Cali for the time being this year.....

    Until the Chicago brewery can finally start producing beer, then Sucks will be distro'd out.

    Sucks is on the way? So's Christmas. Something tells me Christmas will be here first.

    Can we get confirmation one way or another whether this will be in six-packs again this year? My Googling skills turned up nothing.
