*shrug* Double Brown IPA???

It's ~10% but drinks like it's 6%. I have a $2/pint Brown Shugga story as well. Bikes and pub crawls are fun, but not necessarily safe.

It was on the Jamil Show ages ago. At first they thought they didn't get it right, but had a brewer from Lagunitas try it and he felt it was dead on for a fresh sample.

IPA..not sure. think its new.

Beer advocate lists it as an American strong. I guess that fits as it's not malty enough to be an American Barleywine. It's  pretty hoppy and fairly dry considering the amount of crystal used, so that's why I thought Double Brown IPA.

I get what Paul was saying about their information on web... Not very clear.

From what I've read, the only thing on a label that has to be accurate according to TTC rules is ABV. Most of their gravity numbers make no sense.

Had this first time out in Chicago a week ago. I thought it was a pretty nice beer-clean crisp and definitely refreshing. I was easily drinking one and wanting/ordering another.

reviews seem to be kinda harsh for this beer.   I don't see it in my stores , wondering if its widely distributed.

Heineken just bought a 50% stake in Lagunitas, so you will likely see in a store near you soon.  http://www.pressdemocrat.com/business/4418467-181/petalumas-lagunitas-brewing-to-partner?gallery=4449562
