Lagunitas - Sucks in Six Packs

Ditto! A sixer of this stuff for $9.99...really can't beat it. Delicious.

 

Rumor around Lagunitas HQ is that this is going to be year round in sixers now. When I asked why the paper parts still said "limited release" I was told that they want to use up the existing stock. We will see I guess...

 

Glad to see sixers around here, I've picked up a couple different batches. But this beer just isn't the same to me. Used to be a pineapple bomb, but I don't get that anymore. Aroma is noticeably different as well, not in a good way.

 

Any more recent batches? I'm only seeing Julian date # 48 around (feb. 17)

 

Seen it at Discount Liquor Milwaukee. Drank 2 last night. Tastes better than the 40 for w/e reason.

 

Just grabbed a quart dated Julian date # 70. Not sure why they feel the need to keep bottling quarts, it would be fine if it was once a year. but bottling quarts at 6.99 + each seems stupid when the sixers are 9.99. I love lagunitas more than any brewery but this just is greedy to me to be honest .

 

I remember the Jan. 2014 sixers being very passion fruity but the quarts I've been getting since last fall have been less fruity and drier.

 

48s just hit my area last week. Tasting quite good considering its age. The 32s seemed to really suffer almost immediately out of the gate. I had such a bad experience awhile back. But now nearly a case into the 48 sixers, I hope my area sees a newer run shortly.

It's different from what I remember. But maybe the price is making it seem okay.

 

Thread of the year.

 

Saw #075 today near Sacramento, glad its in 6ers but would really like to find it with less than 30 days on it at the time of purchase.

 

Great news but I haven't seen Sucks in Florida for years. I really does suck!

 

It was there in quantity for $9.99 in Jan. 2014, I know because I bought a sixpack from a stack of cases at the Orlando Whole Foods. But they had none this past Jan., that was a Big Downer. I had not seen the Dec. '14 BA thread explaining that it would not be out in sixpacks.

The one quart I have bought since had no readable date and was not up to fresh Sucks standards by any means. And of course it's a helluva lot more expensive in quarts, usually $8 here in the northeast for several ounces less than the equivalent of three bottles, and you have to drink it all in one sitting or cap it off and hope it doesn't go flat before you want more. While I applauded Lagu's attempt to provide Sucks year round, the quart route just hasn't worked out.

Very disappointed that none of the Sucks sixpacks have apparently reached the northeast. Meanwhile Lagunitas IPA has become almost as common as Bud. Waiting for Undercover too (what's up with that goofy ad copy?), only saw it at one store so far and I bought something else instead, dammit. Might have been old stock though, you never know what some stores will occasionally cough up from the lost back corners of their storage.
.

 

Fresh Undercover is out and is as tasty as always.

 

Wish they did the Stoopid in 6ers also...too many 4 - 6 month 22 oz bottles on sprmarket shelves,
great brew when fresh.

 

Would love to buy 4 pack cans of Hop Stoopid and Sucks, I'd even buy some of the older stuff it were in cans but knowing how Lagunitas feels about how cans are made I know that's not going to happen.

 

Ok never been much of a Lagunitas person, not by choice, just never tried them. Tried Maximus, loved it, Stoopid, fell in love and is one of my favorite beers now so grabbed a 32 oz sucks and took it to Louisiana with me for the weekend along with a couple of Lil Sumpins (I think I am falling in love with Lagunitas now). I really didn't think the Sucks was overly outstanding, but when arriving back in Houston today, stopped and grabbed pizza at Mellow Mushroom, saw Sucks on the board, next thing I know I had slammed down 3 of them. So I am sold.

 

The Feb. 17 bottles have fallen off a cliff. This may as well be an old Maximus, Stoopid, etc. Has that same telltale sweetness/lack of body that embody aged Lagunitas IPAs, but at two months it shouldn't be this pronounced. A QC issue for sure. Sucks on tap is sublime.

 

Saw distro unload a big brand new box of sucks last week at my local liquor store. I was so stoked for fresh sucks. They cut it open and..... Quarts from last fall....

I always check dates.

 

I got an email from Lagunitas a few weeks ago and they said sucks is coming soon everywhere in 6s! I cant friggin wait! I keep looking at all my places every week! I hope its soon! I cant afford to keep buying quarts!They also said sumpin sumpin is coming in 12 packs soon! cant wait for that either! getting sick of the IPA when I have to buy a 12 pack.

I agree with the people above.....its weird how good sucks is when you get all that passion fruit pineapple goodness....then if you get a stale one its so mehhh!

nighttime ale in the 6 packs has been holding me over! super passion fruity! way more fruity then the 22oz bottles for some reason!
