And it's pretty much the only Lagunitas product I see that makes it to the kegs for wide distribution to the the pubs and restaurants. Lagunitas got into trouble bottling a ton of heavenly hopped gimmick beers the neophytes fell for and learned to hate.

I love my barley sandwiches, and even thought my go-to drink, and benchmark for all things Pale Ale is Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Lagunitas IPA is defiantly in my rotation.

Just because they are "in" doesn't change the classics. IMHO. clarice Jul 2015 #23

I agree. There are some really good newer brews. nt clarice Jul 2015 #25
