Toppling Goliath Brewery appreciation thread...

yep silly you

 

Agree. Wonder what Citralicious or the recently barreled Don't Worry About It stout will trade for. That's the real test I hear.

 

Some interesting stuff on the horizon per TG Twitter: Well time flies. We are liking cans but soon better news about @BrewmastaMike #MorninDelight this year.

 

I'm guessing @MWolverines66 only asked Clark that question. Since it is his brewery and his contract.
It looks to me like Paste sent the questions and they had time to respond with written or typed answers.

 

Yup, the question was only directed at Clark. It was done through email.

 

Brewhub made Morning Delight in cans so everyone can hate on that too.

 

Haha. I'd hate the shit out of that mediocre crap!

 

As long as they used Clark's family maple syrup, I'm fine.

 

I thought they didn't use the family syrup for the most recent batch?

 

something that isn't rover truck.

 

All I know is there was a tweet a month or so ago saying KBB was slated for September '16.

 

I respect someone's right to think a beer is mediocre. I also respect someone's right to use rankings as a place to start.

To say that others on this board have no basis for comparison because they've never ventured out beyond what's local and that trade forum demand determines the quality of beer is just plain dumb. Using this logic, 515's hoppy beers are mediocre too (ha ha see what I did there!) since the coasts aren't beating down doors for them.

Having drank plenty of tree house, hill farmstead, and trillium I still think saftig is fantastic and I've heard mr hoppypants is even better (from people who've had many "higher rated" IPA's than myself). I don't think it is better than Trillium, but I don't think anything is. That doesn't mean I don't still love it. I guess if a brewery isn't trading for the big boys 2.5 years into its existence it might as well close up shop because the mission has failed...

 

I guess Pulpit Rock defense is the new Florida Sue of this thread. My bad.

 

And as we all know, TG tweets are solid as a rock when it comes to relaying information.

 

Is anybody else getting a little antsy for a "different" TG pale release?? I really want Intergalactic Warrior, Zeelander, or something of that ilk. I love pompeii, but I miss mike messing around with those New Zeland hops!!!!

 

Zeelander remains my fav TG hoppy beer, no other Nelson hopped beer even comes close. Speaking of New Zeland I wish they would bring back The Riwakan Dead. Killed the last keg of it on my first visit to the taproom in 2013.

 

I had some of that last keg of The Riwakan Dead and I remember it being outstanding. I believe that Clark said it would most likely be the last ever keg of The Riwakan Dead because the Riwaka hops would no longer be grown or available. Not sure if that has changed. I would love to see that one come back as well.

 

I handed out the numbered stickers as people arrived for the MD/Assassin release (2013). We hit about 120 around noon... Those days are looooong gone. Haha
