Does Lagunitas Brewing Company brew a bad beer?

I didn't care for Brown Shugga. I know I'm in the minority here, but that brew just didn't do anything for me...

 

I honestly cant think of a single beer that they brew that is bad.. but I do tend to find some of their beers tasting the same, but I love that Hop shot flavor.

 

Cappuccino Stout was a drainpour to me. Tasted like a mixture of half stout, a quarter vanilla flavoring, and a quarter water. Their RIS is mediocre as well. And while not bad, I'd say some of their strong ales are a bit too similar, to the point where you could interchange the labels and I don't know if anyone would notice.

Those are all nitpicks, though. When it comes to IPAs and other hoppy beers, they're pretty spot-on. Brown Shugga is fantastic with 6+ months as well.

 

Coming back in 32 oz bizottles. You can take that to the bank.

 

Have you ever aged it? I heard the crazy hop flavor fades and it turns into a much better beer. I will be aging a few 6 packs this year

 

I was told they are scraping the 32oz bottles now.. please correct me if I am wrong.. They have taken forever to get this beer to the market

 

Yeah Cappuccino stout was probably my least favorite beer that they have made, but not so terrible that i poured it out.

 

A beer that you don't care for or a mediocre beer does not equal a bad beer. Other than the hype extravaganza I don't care for the way that beers are purported to be either Awesome or shit, there doesn't seem to be any gray area here.

 

I got an email from them saying that they aren't gonna do 32s any time soon, if at all.

 

I am a big fan of Little Sumpin', however, I had a pint last week that was bad. I have also purchased a case back in August (it was about 3 weeks old) that was not very good (I assume that case had been mistreated somehow).

I would try it again if you can get a reliable pour or a fresh bottle.

 

One of my all-time faves as well, full of pineapple/orangey goodness. I'm kinda like Colorado Bobs with it:

They don't make bad beer but outside of their IPAs, I think the rest of their beers are pretty average.

 

This. This is one I most likely won't ever revisit.

 

I drain poured WTF so I am going to have to go with that. Everything else has been solid to excellent.

 

Lagunitas Censored was terrible for me. The rest (including WTF) have been awesome.

 

Yea their Pils is pretty underwhelming, besides that they've never let me down.

 

Probably not "bad," but they weren't playing to their strengths. It's their one beer that I probably won't ever buy again. I'd go out and say they're probably my favorite brewery.

 

I haven't had a bad beer by Lagunitas but I tried the Copper Red over the weekend and thought it was really forgettable.

Lil' Sumpin' Sumpin' and Lagunitas Sucks are fantastic, though.

 

Haven't tried them all, but so far sooooo good!

 

I happened to like their Gueuze...had it on tap in NYC a while back. I would say that their stouts are underwhelming and I think that Little Sumpin' Extra was terrible...not too fond of the regular Sumpin' Sumpin' anymore either. First release, thought it was liquid gold...pretty sure it's just my palate has changed though.
