Bottled Sept 10, 2016.

The date code on the bottles starts with 25316 and Laguintas uses a Julian bottle dating code. It could be fresher, but it could be a lot worse. I've never had fresh Sucks but it tasted great to me.

I didn't say I bought them.

We settled on a nice milk stout from 3 Floyd's.

Was super excited for this. It's taken so long, now I'm scared.

I had one on Sunday night and it tasted great and poured well into an IPA glass(Dogfish/Sierra) with no floaties or cloudiness. I believe it was canned in late Sept'16 but my find is a bit hazy as I looked at the bottom of the can when I was 2/3rds done and that was pint # 4 of the day for me ( no not 4 pints of this :o )

Prearis quad now showing stock at Summerhill and in Ottawa. I think this leaves just Three Philosophers as the only one still outstanding from the fall release.

Love that the SUCKS is fresher than the case of DDC Moralite I just ordered online. Got it in this week and bottling date was end of August. Brutal. Guess I'll return half or all of it and buy some Lagunitas.

Lol - point taken. But usually it's just a matter of days before beers that first appear at Summerhill are more broadly distributed throughout the GTA. I use the Summerhill release as my sign that the beers I'm tracking will probably appear at my local within a week.
