I saw a beer called "Sucks" from Lagunitas. Said something about being a Brown Sugar Ale. I completely missed the IBU of 63 on the pack and had no idea I just purchased a ****ing IPA! Discovered this on my way to the party and my mood was dashed. However, maybe it really isn't an IPA? I guess I'm not sure. I actually did enjoy it though!
99 rating on ratebeer? Anyone else had this?

Sucks is a great beer - glad you enjoyed it! Funny story how it came to be, too. They have beer called Brown Shugga that they weren't able to make one year due to some issue that I can't recall, so they brewed this beer instead, and called it "Sucks", basically making fun of themselves and apologizing for not being able to brew Brown Shugga. Turned out to be an awesome beer!
The first year it came out, I was at a bar in Chicago, and when the waitress asked me what I wanted, I said "Lagunitas Sucks". She looked confused, and said that they have lots of non-Lagunitas beers, and she was sure I could find something I liked. Was pretty amusing.
