    Was going to initially be a one-off last year (Nov/Dec) because of capacity issues with Brown Sugga, but it was so popular that it is now going year-round.

    There was a second batch after initial release called Lagunitas Holiday Leftovers in January, but it was the same recipe.

    I know all that, I'm just asking if the year round production has started yet. They announced it quite a while ago, and it usually takes 6-8 weeks to get their releases in PA so I wasn't sure what the deal is.

    Then, no, not yet. My mind skipped over the "already" in your question. :slight_smile:

    Is this what the "mystery release" is on their website? I've been thinking all along that it wasn't because it's pictured on the "large format" side of their release calendar, but it clicked in my brain a minute ago with the 32 oz container.

    Can somebody tell me what that red blob is supposed to be? I miss the Santa Cookie already.

    They're throwing a tomato at them... because they suck.

    I'm guessing it is a tomato thrown at Lagunitas, e.g. Vegetables being thrown at a terrible stage performer

    Hmmm, should have kept the cookie. That means the beer will SUCK now. Teehee.

    Wouldn't it be strange to your average consumer to see a beer in the cooler with Santa on the label in, say, April? They'd think it was old stock.

    Wouldn't it be strange for the average consumer to see a beer called "Sucks?" They'd think it sucks. :slight_smile:

    Real Ale here in Texas brews a beer called "Oklahoma Suks" once a year.

    Oh wait, that one is true. :wink:

    My dream of pounding a 40 oz (close enough) IPA is nearly here! If only I was still in college...

    I don't think you could put ANYTHING on a beer that would keep the average consumer from buying a year old IPA.

    It was out last year and sucked so bad, they're making it year round. Isn't that strange?

    "Share it with an amigo", eh? Only if you guys make it more plentiful than the last time! I was fortunate to get the last sixer in NJ. :wink: I can handle two pints, no problemo...
