    This makes me so happy. Crazy to think it hasnt been bottled since 2011. Cant beat a $4 bomber of barleywine.

    Hairy Eyeball is more of an English barleywine/old ale to me, but it's out now :slight_smile:

    I thought the same until I had the uncensored copper ale. That was the only sub par for them. Other then that I am fan of them especially with the price point.

    Hilarious. That one turned me on to them. Was it super old, mishandled or something?

    Where are the sucks six packs? No information anywhere is getting frustrating. Big fan of Sucks but the 32 oz bottles just aren't cutting it. Too many other options to mess around with these big bottles.

    Brown Shugga is out in MD, got a six pack last week of it. I would expect it hits PA shortly.

    Their website indicates otherwise.

    The release clearly says- Nov 2013- Jan 2014

    Why was seemingly everybody expecting them to release Sucks in 6'ers again?

    I loved Sucks for it's quality and price. Key word: loved (past tense). I was waiting all year for the 6'ers, and I just heard Lagunitas is sticking to distributing Sucks in only 32oz form, despite, until only recently, displaying on their website that 6'ers would be released in November to January. Bad form. My local Total Wine used to sell out of the seasonal 6'ers of Sucks in a month, but the 32oz bottles that have been there since its first release are simply shelf turds now, which is even worse considering it's an IPA.

    I hope they change their minds. In the mean time, I won't be purchasing any 32oz bottles. (Yeah, yeah... More for you guys who will. Just my personal preference.)

    From what I understood, the 32 oz form was to be available all year round, and the 6'er form was to be seasonal (Nov 2013 - Jan 2014).

    And it was.
    I'm trying to figure out why people were expecting it to come back this year Nov 2014 - Jan 2015.

    Earlier this year (until recently), the website displayed that Sucks would be available in 6-pack form. When 32 oz bottles of Sucks started appearing much earlier than the posted date of Nov 2014 - Jan 2015, it was then reported and distinguished (by whom? I'm not exactly sure) that 32 oz bottles would be the format in which it would be available year round, and that the 6-pack form would only come out during the seasonal period.

    Usually, on breweries websites the previous years seasonals will remain until the time they decide they're no longer gonna do it.

    Sumpin Wild is listed as Aug. - Oct. on thier site right now, I don't, and nobody else should expect them to keep to that for 2015.

    Kinda sucks they aren't doing six packs this year. 32 oz of 8% is too much of a commitment in my opinion. Sometimes I just want one or two 12 oz servings at one time. Havent seen fresh 32's in my area since they started showing up on shelves. Freshest I've seen is around 3 months. Hopefully they go back to sixes in the future.
