    Agreed - this should be done by Mike ASAP. (And also remove it from any other social media - Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.)

    What an immature, douchey and jealous thing to say to a former brewer who made your Brewery what it is today on a public forum. It would have been easy to message Mike and ask him to change his Twitter bio. Instead, he took the classless route, when it would have been much better to just wish Mike luck and move on with life instead of sounding butthurt.

    I think someone from TG had a little too much SR-71 today.

    Go home, you're drunk!

    Since we are all here on BA....I'm betting we've all hit submit at some point when we shouldn't have.

    Brewing is a passion more than a business when done best, and that passion can sometimes cause problems. I'm sure it's a regret already.

    Mmmmm yeah...telling off your former brewer who made your company what it is, is kinda on another level than posting something dumb on BA.

    It's not a great thing to do that's for sure. I didn't mean what you post here, I meant it's likely
    We've all gotten drunk and had an issue at some time we regret.

    You would think the person running the account is a kid or something...

    i am very anxious to try the mike-less TG as well as whatever Mike does in the future. He was a magician with hops and BA.

    Mike just changed his Twitter to read "Former brewmaster at Toppling Goliath."

    So is Mike at Treehouse now? Or just hanging out with some friends?

    Edit: I meant is he permanently at Treehouse. I know he's physically there today, haha.

    Hopefully just hanging out with some friends. Because that is what drinking a beer is supposed to be about. Unfortunately, as shown in most threads involving TG, people lose sight of that.

    Yeah, I think. Then he needs to come to Des Moines and take over the space from Raccoon River. He would kill it here.

    Another event that is cementing Clark as a total douche in my mind. How unprofessional can you get?

    Let's be honest, they're both being unprofessional. Mike just walked off a job, Clark is responding in a less than stellar way. I've never had any personal dealings with Mike so I can't make any inferences there, but I have had 4 or 5 with Clark and he was always the exact opposite of a douche in those situations.

    What's Mike doing now that's unprofessional? I'm sure his departure wasn't the way TG would have liked it, but I find it hard to believe there weren't events building up to his decision to leave. He left and has pretty much kept to himself and hasn't made any negative feelings he may have public. Clark on the other hand, well we saw that last night. If he seriously believes Mike's success is due to TG and not the other way around, he's absolutely delusional.

    I'm assuming Mike was able to do some awesome stuff with the help of Clark's financing, but to say his success is due to TG is ludicrous. I've had great interactions with both individuals and I've had some with Clark that have left me scratching my head.
