Anyone seen Lagunitas Daytime IPA

Heard from my rep they aren't doing it this year due to lack of hop contracts necessary (!!!)

 

That was pretty much the story I heard. IIRC, Sumpin Wild is the next 12oz seasonal, and Gnarleywine (?!?) is the next 22oz release.

 

I agree, I'm bummed. My current go-to is Boulevard Single Wide. 5.5%, bright and light (for an IPA of course). Actually created after they'd already created Double Wide, which I think benefited this session-esque IPA.

 

Can anyone confirm this? Ive been looking forward to this since last year.

 

Anyone have any word on this? Still looking everywhere and don't see it.

 

I love daytime fractional. So underrated.

 

I can't speak for its availability outside of Chicago, but my local Binny's just got it in today.

 

I got some in SoCal yesterday, however it tastes quite different than last year. The hop profile seems to have less flavor/aroma.

 

Well that's disappointing. Did you check the date?

 

Yes I did... There is a code on btl but no date.

 

I just got learned - thank you!

 

2696711

 

Old code...so that's from the 269th day of 2012. No wonder the hops have diminished!

 

I knew it tasted stale but wtf are these 6 packs doing coming out at the end of summer. Daytime was cleaned off the shelf last summer here in so-cal and the place I purchased has a huge beer turnover.

I was stoked when I saw a 6pack in the cold box, as this was one of my favorites from last year. At the same time I knew the beer was on hiatus from the hop contract but rolled the dice, and got burned.

Apparantly I need to use Julian code more often... However it really isn't an often issue here as most stuff is fresh.

 

Yep September 25th bottling date. Ewww...unless you just didn't know your were driinking a future beer!

 

ISO: future beer

I'm guessing this was the distributor's call to sell it, but Lagunitas shouldn't have let it happen, or they should pull the product ASAP. Not cool.
