Toppling Goliath coming to MA?

Any sightings in Plymouth, MA?

 

Only places in that area that got it were my store Empire Wine and Spirits in Kingston and Cedarville Wine and Spirits. Sales rep for the area had 2 cases for his whole territory. My store sold it out the same day, heard Cedarville was the same

 

Rat farts

 

Take 2: Any sightings in Rockland, MA area?

 

My guess would be Luke’s in Rockland but it really depends on what the store purchases from Atlantic, needed to be a Top 100 account.

 

I haven't seen any personally, I typically shop at Kappy's in Norwell and Regal in Whitman. I live right around the corner from Luke's but I generally don't shop there since anything they have that I would want to buy is warm on the shelf. I refuse to buy warm IPAs lol. That's definitely something they would post on their twitter if they got it in.

Also, Atlantic has a search tool on their site. It will tell you what stores have received product in the last 14 days. However, you can't search by specific beer. So it will just tell you which stores have gotten TG stuff recently.

It's gone, dude. It all got distro'd before the Fourth. Next to no one got more than a single case on the South Shore, and I highly doubt it lasted more than 48 hours anywhere. My store sold out in an hour and a half.

The question now is when will it be back? Is it brewed three times a year? Four?

 

How is KS drinking with an extra week on it?

 

Still not that good. All of their ~6% cheap offerings here drink better than KS, so at $17 it's not worth buying.

 

Over a week out and it’s still a beer that’s taking me twice as long to finish than anything else I’ve had recently. I’m hoping this was just a bad batch but I’ll stick with psuedo for now

 

This beer in bombers fresh from the brewery was easily a top 5 hoppy beer for me. I bet they figure it out sooner than later.

 

Losing faith in TG. I’ve been picking up 4s in between TH and Trill runs....got some PSue tonight w/ a 7/6 date so I figured it was safe. The flavor is one dimensional and the look is bad w lots ‘o floaties. Was trading for this beer of and on for 6 years and it’s never had this flavor/look. Won’t pay $15 for the bombers so I guess I’m done. Anybody else noticing inconsistencies w TG...especially PSue?

 

I’m suprised you found something with a can date in July. I stopped buying them in July when all the dates were 05/20 or 06/01. Either they forced places to buy more than necessary or enthusiastic packies bought more than they needed. Either way I loved every fresh(within two weeks) sue I got.

 

There’s no way to tell how old the bombers are right? Couldn’t find a date on them

 

I posted on the Midwest TG thread. PS and GN from late June to early July were chunky, thin and dreadful. Looked like milk that had separated. Disgusting stuff. Haven't bought any TG since where before I grabbed a 4pk most weeks

 

Any King Sue can sightings sice the first wave last month?

 

The bombers are dated when they are packaged but the ink rubs off incredibly easy, unfortunately.

 

@chipawayboy when you bought it in the past, was it ever >1 month old? I get floaties and inconsistency in some Trillium beers too around a month. It happened at 3 weeks with some Lone Pine I had.

I wouldn't give up on them until you try a fresher batch (if you can find it).

I more or less don't purchase New England pales/IPAs over a month old anymore. They're too expensive to take a chance on them.

 

FWIW I have lots of floaties in my New World Lager. I don't mind that much as the beer tastes great to me, plus floaties have become more common these days. But I have no idea if NWL hadn't typically had that characteristic in the past as I never traded for TG before.

 

Where on the bottle is the date posted normally (before rubbing off lol)?
