    Hi All!

    I've used BeerAdvocate to look up many ratings, but this is my first time posting/participating in the community.

    As many of you might already know, Lagunitas Brown Shugga had disappeared from shelves a few years ago. They tried keeping us fans pleased with Unrefined Shugga, but it was just not the same.

    Lagunitas recently responded to a comment I left on their Instagram saying that if I did -actually- start a petition to bring it back, that it would honestly help. Well, I did just that!

    If you are passionate about this limited release, know someone who is, or just wants to help possibly bring back a special beer, please consider signing my petition.

    Here is the link:

    Thank you BeerAdvocate Community!

    Sincerely,
    Taylor

    Can you add the original 12oz Sucks recipe to that as well.


    Enjoy

    Also, Hop Stoopid. It was the best priced quality bomber back in the day.

    I'd be happy if they contracted and made nothing but their normal IPA forever and ever. Love that stuff and I appreciate that it's typically fresh even in "beer deserts."

    Fresh Stoopid was the bomb. I drank some Shuga back in the day but I think my palate has shifted and it's not in my current happy flavor/ABV zone.

    Sucks was one of the first beers I had that I thought was overrated for all of the hype that it got. Then I had Brown Shugga, etc. and while enjoyable Lagunitas is just one of those breweries where so many of their bigger beers taste too similar to me.

    Hop Stoopid and a few of the others were a killer value, though.

    Hop Stoopid was my go to palate wrecker and I miss it, I do enjoy Maximus as a close sub....but not the same.

    I could definitely go for some Hairy Eyeball and some Sucks. Haven't purchased a Lagunitas product in a very long time. Take that back, I did buy a sixer of the last Willitized release. But ... that Hairy Eyeball was amazing.

    I had given up on Lagunitas long before they sold to Heineken. I no longer care, but good luck to you buddy.
