Lagunitas Willettized 2022

Nice, I need to find some of that.

Enjoy

 

Nothing will beat the 2016 and 2017 High Wes 12 oz bottles. They were like $12-14 a sixer and damn good!

 

Whats SMS

 

Weyerbacher Sunday Morning Stout:

Cheers!

 

ive had that
Willettized is better by a small margin i think

 

They are both great beers and i would take both in a heart beat

I am biased to California

That being said. Listen to this while enjoying SMS

 

Yeah these were $11.99 / 6 pack in ohio and pa in 2016.

I was absolutely enamored by the beer and actually remember finding it on craftshack for like $2.50 a bottle and contemplating if i was willing to pay the markup! Don't worry I did buy them.

 

I'll disagree with that (opinion though). A much better comparison of SMS is to KBS though as sunday morning stout is VERY coffee forward and willetized is subtle at best.

I'm drinking an SMS right now and while I think its a better beer than willetized, its still far less enjoyable than HW.

Sadly SMS is now a $25/4 pack whereas its last appearance was a $12-$14/pack. Inflation sure but okay Weyerbacher... your last batch in 2018 sat on the shelves... bold move playing the scarcity card by not releasing for 4 years and then doubling price.

I'm really detracting the willetized post at this point but I do definitely want to give a nod to weyerbacher on their consistency as this SMS never missed a beat. It's 100% the same beer they didnt brew the last 4 years but did the last time that they did. Impressive (and also nostalgic to taste) when other brewers csn barely brew the same beer a few months apart.

 

Went looking for this and SMS today, and only found SMS (which is tasting great).

Five years back or so I got a case each of SMS and High Westified and used to cuvée them fairly regularly. I loved the HW, but didn’t think it had enough coffee profile.

 

Ouch…..I saw a case for $108 at one spot and I paid $14.99 elsewhere for a 4 pack this year.

Enjoy

 

We used to get SMS around here, but not lately…total shame. Now I have to buy it on road trips to other states.

 

Anywhere near Erie? Otherwise, I get it from Ohio.

 

I’m hoping the local craft store beer manager gets Willetized at all. He’s more into porters, so I’m starting to notice more of those lately. Porters…meh.

 

I sorely missed SMS and I agree it is tasting mighty fine. 18 bucks a pack around here, going back for more. Kind of an interesting divergence between SMS and willettized. With SMS I get tons of coffee with a little barrel, with willettized I get plenty of barrel and barely discernible coffee. Love both for very different reasons.

 

This standard SMS talk has me thinking of Sunday Mole Stout and how much I miss it

 

I see everyone's SMS posts and raise you a Peruvian Morning by Central Waters. Best Coffee BA stout <$5 for a 12 oz bottle.

 

Haven't seen it fresh around here for years, but I remember loving it. Central Waters has a stellar lineup of BA beer.
