Lagunitas A Little Sumpin' Sumpin' Ale — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates Lagunitas A Little Sumpin' Sumpin' Ale by Lagunitas TREAT — score 45/90.

A genuinely well-made beer with a genuinely short ingredient list — barley malt, wheat, and a 7.5% ABV kick that's stronger than the cutesy name suggests. Lagunitas sells silliness, not wellness, so there's nothing to bust. It's still ethanol, which your liver files under 'work,' not 'food.'

Why this verdict

• Simple, traditional brewing ingredients — barley malt and wheat, no adjunct syrups, colorings, or additives
• 7.5% ABV is high for a wheat ale — one 12 oz can is about 1.5 standard drinks
• Alcohol itself is the health cost: empty calories (~230 per 12 oz) and a Group 1 carcinogen at any dose
• No health claims made or implied — it's marketed purely on taste and vibes
• Indulgent but simple: the textbook TREAT profile

• Barley malt (safe) — Natural malt for color and flavor — minor.
• wheat (safe) — Fermented for flavor and aroma; contains gluten.
