Lagunitas Sucks to be Year Round

That's great! It does seem like Tony's been messing with us. Enjoy! I'm off to the bottle shop to look for fresh sixers of Sucks!

 

Road trip in the morning!!!!

 

So Sucks is showing up in places, great news. I remember 2 years ago when I was in MN on a trip that I brought back 3 six packs for my good friend and I. Needless to say we were blown away by how great it was. Simply put, ever since then we've been hooked.

 

If anyone's still doubtfull, tasty bev's website confirms they got in sucks today, though it's already sold out http://tastybeverageco.com/beer/

I can say for the rest of NC folks, greensboro hasn't gotten any in yet. I might drive down tomorrow to Durham and grab a 6pack.

 

that is totally a '12 bottle broseph stalin. nice try.

 

Six packs of Sucks showed up about a week ago here in Vegas in some stores.The Lagunitas writing on on the cardboard carrier mentions something about "...here in 2012...", so I really don't know if this is old beer or if Lagunitas is just using old packaging.

 

Pretty sure Sucks is gone at most Durham bottle shops... just so you don't waste a trip.

 

id bet those are old sixers. i saw the same thing about a month ago at total wine.

 

did anyone in the triangle area try a bottle yet? wondering if this is fresh or old stock....?

 

My buddy in Raleigh said it was great, bottle date says two weeks ago..

 

They still had lots of it at carrboro bev and tj's in carrboro last night.

 

Until they hit the Indianapolis market, I don't give a F. Just wish our distributors would get their sh!t together and work this out.

 

Come on man, the date codes on the necks of Lagunitas are so easy to read, its clear from the picture that this is fresh.

 

Sounds like a great idea.

What were the composite rankings?

 

Good question! I still have everyone's list, let me put it on a spreadsheet. Will report back.

Sucks

2.75

Zombie

Alchemy

Head Hunter

5.25

Full disclosure, it turned out the Zombie Dust was about 6+ months old, so I don't think it represented as well as it should have. It's also an APA and those are some pretty beastly IPAs/IIPAs. I wasn't that surprised honestly that Sucks ranked so well, but was surprised at all the BA hype around Head Hunter and it almost universally scored lowest (one person scored it 4th of the 6, one 5th and 2 dead last).
