    Right on. Guess I'm not crushing beers as hard as you guys. Or maybe its the fact that I'm posting this around noon on a weekday.

    Drinking 2 pints is "crushing beers"?

    Except they are $7 and $11 around here. So $1.83 for 12oz Sucks vs. $3.50 for 11 ozs Hop Stoopid. Not blaming Lagunitas, its just the reality of the situation in the Boston market (and others). May not make a difference if you are only going to buy one or two bombers - but I bought 120 bottles of Sucks this year. The difference in price on that would be $200.

    The more I think about it, the more stupid I think a 32 oz. bottle is. Someone pegged it perfectly before as a novelty. And a lame one at that. Just got to try this great beer and then they pull this stunt. What a rip.

    What's wrong with 22oz if you're not supplying a 12oz. pack option? It's a perfect weekday amount.

    They said they're doing it so home brewers can use the bottle.

    So what you're saying is they still have 5 months to rethink this 32oz. bottle...

    it's a screw off cap, isn't it? homebrewers can't use screw off caps to my knowledge. i mean you could I suppose...but it's not the same. oxygen can probably get in easier once they've been popped.

    That's an even dumber reason. What % of people who purchased Sucks last yr. homebrew?

    it should be full 1l bottles, but so it goes.

    and if you can't enjoy 32 oz of sucks, don't buy it, because you are a bad person and should feel bad.

    I emailed Lagunitas when they announced the 32oz bottles would be coming asking them why thy would choose this format, and that 6 packs were such a better value and more versatile. A rep responded via email saying that 32's are a favorite size of home brewers and that's why they are doing, so home brewers could reuse them. I'll look for the email when I get to my laptop.

    Love the idea so long as the price is comparable to the six packs
