32oz Sucks date?

$7.99 here in Dallas, I have heard people getting them for as low as $4.99 in other states.

 

I use the "torch" app on my smart phone and shine it on the neck when I can find the Julian date code. The guys at liquor store stopped asking what I was doing a loooooong time ago.

 

PLEASE make the 32oz'ers go away and never return. Its heartbreaking seeing rows of them collecting dust on the store shelves since September.

12 oz 6 pack formats in the winter is enough to get my annual fix on them while guaranting freshness. Seasonal only for the IPAs.

 

Just picked up a 3 month old bottle today. Boy those dates are a bitch to see. Needed the magnifying glass at home to see it !

 

I know its a pain in the ass but you can just bookmark a julian calender on your phone thats how I do it, after buying a 6 month old maximus I won't let that happen to me again.

 

There are a couple of different apps for that for your smart phone.

 

didn't check the date when I picked up a 32oz the other day. Don't care what the date is, it was so good I'm probably going back to buy about 12 more of them

 

Even easier, just estimate every month as 30 days and you can ballpark it in your head in 2 seconds. Example: You see 174, so you figure 5 months (150 day) and 24 days into the 6th month of the year (June 26th)

 

Someday i hope we see a simple bottled on date. A lot of breweries are going this way and hopefully more to follow.

 

At least you guys can get Sucks! Where I live they don't allow sale of 32oz bottle ...

 

Heh. Each time I've seen these quart bottles I've picked one up and turned it round and round and held it at various angles to the light and I still haven't found a bottling date on a single one. I'm beginning to suspect that Lagunitas bottling dates are an urban legend.

 

I've actually started finding that I can rarely get ANY fresh Lagunitas. Hop Stoopid, Sumpin, even their regular IPA is two-three months old every time! And, no surprise, I was starting to find them less and less compelling.

 

The ones at my local TW are dated "301". I'm hoping newer ones will show up soon.
