    From http://beerpulse.com/2012/04/laguni...ing-founder-sounds-off-on-craft-beer-industry

    "On Lagunitas Sucks (paraphrased):

    Lagunitas is also “working hard” to put Lagunitas Sucks in 32 oz. stubby (squat) bottles. “We’re going to cram it in next to the Schlitz malt Liquor and all the ‘Hood beers.’” It will be a year-round release with varied packaging beginning this fall. Gives credit to Les Claypool and Primus who put out bumper stickers that said “Primus Sucks.” Had wanted to do a beer called “Lagunitas Sucks” for 10-12 years and finally had the opportunity when the company ran up against capacity and couldn’t produce some of its usual beers this past winter."

    I can't wait for this gloriousness! They listened to us good job Lagunitas.

    Lagunitas is the people's brewery.

    I'd probably pick a couple up just to reuse the 32oz bottle. It would make a good homebrew growler.

    I wish this one would have stayed around as an inexpensive 6 pack.
    But, I'm excited to see it back none the less.

    This is great news. I just hope it will stay as good as it was this past winter. I love Lagunitas.

    $11 (in Chicago) for the 6er = $5 32oz bottle (I hope!)

    I do agree I'd rather see sixers of this, but this is still awesome news.

    He's quoted as saying "varied packaging," so there's still the possibility of a sixer.

    But the real question... are 32oz bottles more environmentally friendly than a 22oz?

    I am pretty sure he is bullshitting, so we will see... If you read all his responses, he is such full of shit (in a funny way). I wouldn't read too far into this.

    Im glad this is happening. I happened to run into the founder a month ago and he told me about this so I posted it on these forums. Then I was thinking I should have shut my mouth, since it wasnt really official and I thought they may have scrapped the idea. I cannot wait for this!

    Anchor Glass still lists a stubby quart bottle as a standard off-the-shelf bottle and I've wondered who still uses them (Yuengling did up until a few years back, when they went with a long neck quart).

    I don't know, I miss the old steinie deposit/reusable quarts* - they were the perfect size for a "dinner" beer. When bombers first got popular and everyone saw them a "Big" beer bottles, I thought, "WTF? It's a rip-off- 2/3 of quart!"

    *It was my standard bottle for homebrew back in the 70's and 80's. When I sold most of my homebrewing equipment to a friend's son a couple of years ago, I couldn't bare to get rid of all my steinie quarts- kept the shells and a few bottles, too. Who knows why...

    If this is true, he can just shove it up his "California Artifice" ass. 22's are bad enough, we don't need another MFing format clogging up the shelves.

    I don't know if it's my palate that's changed, or if something Lagunitas has changed, but it seems over the 3-5 years, their beers aren't as good tasting to me as they used to be. Except for trying something new when it comes out, I haven't bought any Lagunitas beers in probably 2-3 years. Congrats to them on becoming more successful, and I hope things go well with the Chicago brewery. But seriously, 32oz bottles? Wrap 'em in aluminum and shove 'em.
