Lagunitas Sucks Ale, Brown Shugga' Substitute

Limited release. E.K. Ross would have enjoyed our suffering in 2010 when we realized that we couldn't brew our beloved BrownShugga' Ale, but in that time of our deepest despair, as is common to artists everywhere - broke, hung-over, abandoned by the muse - and prepared to take a job at Arby's, we found in that darkness a spark of inspiration that would yield up this nearly sanctified hop slathered recipe tragically named The Lagunitas Sucks Ale, and now in 2012 we are stuck with it - could be worse. www.Lagunitas.com. Say - lah-goo-knee-tuss. O.G. 1.085. I.B.U. 63.21. We suck. Doggone good. How'za bout trying one of our other beers! Maybe a - homicidally hoppy - Lagunitas IPA India pale ale - or maybe a crispy clean - Lagunitas PILS Czech style pilsner - Whatever. Beer speaks. People mumble. The fall of 2011 brought with it the sad realization that we could not make the annual plan to wrangle with our most difficult brew, the BrownShugga' Ale. E.K. Ross would have enjoyed our suffering as we moved through her stages toward acceptance final, but in that time of our deepest despair, as is common to artists every; broke, hungover, abandoned by the muse and prepared to take a job at Arby's, we found in that darkness the spark of inspiration that would yield up the nearly sanctified recipe for the tragically named beer that we call the Lagunitas Sucks Ale. This is that beer. In the tale of the farmer with a lost ox, the last stages are all that matter and in those desperate final moments, salvation is found. Having named the beer in that moment of darkness we are now bound to it and it to us as an act of supplication and this name we now wear with a heart full of gratitude, humble and penitent before the recipe's creator; the muse of brewers everywhere. Come on by to hang out sometime or just give us a call! 707-769-4495. Cheers! Life is uncertain. Don't sip. The Lagunitas Brewing Company Petaluma, California. Brewed in Sonoma County Calif. Since 1993.
