    Yeah, a sabbatical so he can write a textbook. Just like college professors.
    Maybe a cookbook with all his recipes? Yes please!

    Goose Island made him a fat offer and now he's brewing KBBS on mass scale. It's now called, BCKBBS.

    Term-Oil is back on at the taproom as of opening today. Barrel 3-C.

    Knock it off. Everyone knows this thread is only for speculation about Mike/Clark feuds, arguments about Iowa vs. Florida Sue, and bickering about base beers and which beers go into barrels and what we call them before and after. No ACTUAL news or facts are welcome here.

    Not sure how I didn't figure that out, I follow them but don't get notifications so I was staring at Clark's feed and checking facebook and finding nothing. I'm a dumb.

    A true Dorthy's fan refers to it as Dotz.

    Dear Mike,

    If you are still at TG, great. If you are not still at TG, please open a brewery near Iowa City.

    Signed,

    All of Iowa City.

    The logical explanation is that Mike must’ve taken temporarily furlough to rejoin his buddy Nate, and bust out batch 2 of Vagabond, or maybe David, or maybe a stout this time: Good Morning Assassin


    ...Mike/Clark feuds are rubbish?

    Whatever happened/happens, I think we'll all be winners. I'm sure the rest of the TG crew is competent to brew. Shoot, the Pompeii when Mike was gone was phenomenal. From my own experience, Mike is one of the most talented brewers in the world. TG can succeed at selling beer without Mike. Mike can be more than successful at making beer without TG.

    Strange...if Mike is gone, maybe the base beer for certain stouts DOES matter. I'm sure anyone could replicate Norsemans Wrath and be able to make KBBS, Mornin Delight and Assassin. Even though no one did when he left previously.

    I've actually heard Term Oil was brewed during Mike's previous hiatus. So maybe someone else can brew stout there..
