    Missed this one at Julios. 4 days and gone. Anyone know of any still hanging around in any stores in the area? Checked Wegmans this past weekend as well, and unsuprisingly, none on the shelves there either. Not sure if they just didn't get any, or if it just hadn't hit the shelves yet.

    Cheers!

    Founders All Day IPA or Lagunitas Daytime IPA?

    This is one of the best smelling beers around. Blanchards in JP had a ton of a couple weeks ago. Craft Beer Cellar tweeted about it yesterday, don't know if that means they got more in or not.

    Heh- apparently the latter! Though, that said- I'd love to sample the former as well!

    Jamvt- thanks for the tip, I'll look into that.

    Interesting- I heard some good reviews from the guys at Julios. So that's some good, some mediocre. Either way, interested in at least sampling a bottle or two.

    I'm curious/skeptical about that site Jamvt posted- according to that, the pokey little liquor store right down the street from me got some, but last time I checked there (which, admittedly, was a long time ago) they hardly had ANY craft. Worth a check though...

    I've gotten it in Fairfield County, CT ... amazing smell ... the taste was a little lighter in flavor profile than I expected based on the smell even factoring in that I knew I'd be sipping a < 5% ABV. Certainly enjoying my 6 pack and will see i

    It's not bad by any means but it was very underwhelming in the flavor department. I know it's a lower ABV beer but I still felt the flavor was lacking; the nose however smelled great. The price didn't do it any favors either; I'd rather have paid a couple bucks less.

    No need to be skeptical. The list is generated through L. Knife and based upon any account that has purchased the product in the last 60 days. There's a chance you could hit one of the stores and they may already be sold out, but that list is 100% accurate as far as accounts that purchased Daytime. It links directly with VIP (Vermont Information Processing) who are responsible for tracking sales for virtually all distributors/breweries in the US. The list shows phone numbers for all accounts, all you have to do is call.

    Disclaimer, I don't work for L Knife.

    Good stuff.

    heh... so I guess that pokey little store deserves a second look!

    I agree. Thought it smelled amazing but still had nice flavor even if it was a little thin.
    And I also agree with the price; Lagunitas is usually sopt on in price so I thought, given the lesser ABV that it would be a few bucks cheaper than Lil Summin or even their regular 6 packs.

    I asked this in another thread with no response so I'll try again. Does anyone know what this beer is dry hopped with? Because as said above it smells amazing.

    I have seen plenty at second tier packies and even mom and pop shops - that seems to be Lagunitas' market these days (beer bars too).

    This beer gets better as it warms up - doesn't seem as watery/thin as it does cold.

    Not sure, but I think it was hops.

    Rang up for $9.45+tax at a nearby shop. Possible error by a store that consistently charges more than others in area.

    WIN!
