Toppling Goliath (2019)

That sucks. When I got the 2nd chance email it had a link that went to a page with 8 options for sessions.

 

any word on pre-MD events happening around Decorah on Friday?

 

Also, any word on bottle shares at any of the hotels? I'll be at the Quality Inn on Saturday and have a couple of things I could contribute to a share.

 

Pulpit Rock is having a Pre Anniversary (4 YRS) party starting at noon Friday with several 4pk releases.

 

I'm sure he does. Moving time slot probably costs his company money. It definitely doesn't lose his company money.

 

How is 2019 MD tasting?

 

I really enjoyed it! Seems more coffee forward this year than maple forward like last year’s was to me but I enjoyed that. Really like the coffee they used in it this year!

 

This is my first year going to any TG release... is Pulpit going to be insane the morning of? We are driving there and back on Saturday so leaving super early (like 3 AM) to get to pulpit and get in line. Are we overreacting?

 

Yes!...I got there at 8am(I believe an hour before opening) last year, and got the allotment of cans....had buddies that got there about 820ish and missed out.....Now I have heard they are preparing better this year, and the limits are lower, so it may last a little longer(I Hope).....getting there Friday night and camping at Pulpit Rock(campground) through Sunday....

 

Well we are in chicagoland so leaving at 3 gets us there at 8... so guess that's our plan

 

Anyone have an idea of what TG posted on Twitter/Instagram this morning? The links they provided just go to a missing image.

 

Just a picture of a can of Psuedo Sue floating around the Iowa State Fair.......

 

I had MD twice last weekend in Madison and I agree with really enjoying it. But I thought it was more maple and less coffee forward... maybe it was the keg that went to Hollindars. Looking forward to seeing how it tastes tomorrow!

 

MD is very good. Agree that it is more coffee forward this year. Enjoyed it a lot more than the Term Oil variants. Thought they were very sweet and hard to get through the pours I had of each. The outdoor party looked very busy. The line was super long by 11:45 when I left my MD Session.

 

Agree on the MD. More coffee forward this year on tap, however that’s how I felt about tap last year and bottles were more maple forward.

Disagree about the term oil. Felt the Mexican hot chocolate was a great blend of all, usually peppers take over the beer for me and this one was a perfect blend. Felt the coconut pecan was a good blend as well, but was surprised favorite of the day was the Mexican hot chocolate

 

I do agree though that place was busy AF, think they made a huge batch of this and most everyone who wanted to travel was able to get it

 

I found the Mexican hot chocolate to be very sweet, it was hard for me to finish. The coconut (where was the pecan?) term oil was decent as was MD. Funny how I didn’t get much coffee from it but I mostly drank it cold because I didn’t want to carry around 3 beers.

 

Well the draft MD at TG is way more coffee forward than the draft I had in Madison last weekend which was more maple forward. Wonder how the bottle will taste?
Coconut pecan term oil a bit too sweet for my taste. Liked the Mexican hot chocolate better. Another enjoyable day at TG!

 

I actually had it Hollanders as well but it was way later in the day. Multiple kegs maybe?!?

 

I loved the coconut pecan Term Oil, although I didn’t get much pecan and it was pretty sweet. The wife loved Mexican chocolate Term Oil, and I liked it quite a bit too. First time trying any TO variants for me. Was impressed.

Agree that MD taps were a little more coffee than maple, which was not a bad thing - MD is fire again this year.

Thought the event was well run with no surprises and no bullshit. Nice pleasant day to hang outside w the fam. Mission accomplished.
