    Just had my first HopSlam, and think think I agree with you. Even if the price tag was switched!
    I'll probably get a few more Sucks while it's still here and infuckincredible!

    Might get one more HopSlam...maybe but I kinda doubt it now.

    I bought one sixer last Saturday at the TW in Tucson and I regretted not buying another after just two sips. Sumpin is good but this is sublime and dangerously drinkable as per the previous posters.:D

    Yep. As good as Sugga is, I'm happy for the 2011 fallout.

    Yep its basically twice as many Sucks for the price of one of Hopslam. It's hard to argue with that if you only had $20 to spend between the two of them.

    In eastern MD sucks is only slightly less expensive than nn was last year. That being said, sucks beats Pliny, nn, and just about every other hop monster I've ever had.

    This beer is great. Anyone have experience brewing a clone yet?

    How the hell is everyone getting Sucks for $10-11?? Around here (Buffalo, NY), it's $12.50/sixer.

    I'm spending $50/case, but loving every minute of it. I sure as sh!t wish I could get it for $40 like the rest of you guys. This REALLY sucks!

    Bought my first six pack of Sucks yesterday, had my second bottle today while having some lunch. VERY satisfied with this beer. Cost me $10 plus change here in Chicagoland. I like it better than Hopslam even (first time this year as well)

    I only have one bottle left :(. I Was actually surprised to find a six pack of it, shared one with a co-worker and gave one to a friend I was staying with. I hope they liked it as much as I do.

    Are batches of this stuff still being produced or is it pretty much over and done with?

    I wouldn't care if they never made Brown Shugga again. Sucks whoops its ass handily, it's not even close.

    I definitely like both. Just picked up 2 6ers of Sucks last night cause I was running out. Also having had both Sucks and Brown Shugga, I tend to agree that Brown Shugga was slightly better. Both are amazing, but 1 has 9.99% ABV

    I have a case left at my store in Temecula, CA 9.99 a sixer. No limit on amount.

    Aaaannnnnd Hopslam slaughters both, so it doesn't really matter. End thread, ty!

    its almost an apples to oranges comparison though.
    I wont argue Hopslam is the shit. Had it on draft twice yesterday :-D

    Or they could continue to make both... which is the plan. Yes, that will be better.

    The most recent brewed batch I've seen in my area is 1/15. Would love to be able to have this stuff fresh through the end of the month.

    I live in bakersfield and seen nothing. Its so frustrating because our distributors are out of all the lagunitas products .

    Yep, I had Hopslam (acq through trade) and SUCKS back-to-back. Consensus is Slams takes the hop title but SUCKS takes the taste test.

    I live out by sag harbor on the south fork. Got it at my beer place for $10. Steal of the century!

    I paid eight bucks per growler at bottles in mt. Pleasant SC for sucks. Great deal for a wonderful brew.

    Well damn, I wish I could score some for $8.99 around here, but it's ridiculously overpriced in our local stores at $12.49 for a sixer. I guess it COULD be worse.... like some folks around here they can't even get any in their area. That really WOULD "Suck". I like my beers, but just knowing it's 30% more expensive here in Buffalo makes me a bit angry. I mean Buffalo isn't really a high-rent district. It's pretty depressed around here, but beer is priced at a premium. Go figure.

    hard to disagree with this. Sucks is a great fuckin beer. And it wont cost you 40 dollars for 12 of them. Plus Sucks is everywhere. I can go get it on tap, or get it in most beer shops. Actually its sold out in Durham but its still all over Chapel Hill

    Just bought my third case , love it. Cheapest case, 63, 46, 39.99

    Almost done with my third as well :) Forty-five bucks a hit...this will be my go-to beer for as long as its around (in six packs). A lot of people try to compare it against Hopslam...Not only do I think it blows hopslam out of the water..its the same price as two-hearted! It's hard to buy anything else while this is an option.
