    Has anyone else heard the rumor they are going to bottle soon? Only place I can seem to find their stuff near me (I am in Carroll, Ia) is Zombie Burger in Des Moines and they don't fill growlers...

    Rumor is true. We'll be bottling within the next few months. Our filler recently arrived on this side of the pond from Italy, so as soon as we finish up our new building we'll look to start bottling right away! Maybe it'll be hoppy or maybe it'll be barrel aged... hmm, what will it be? :slight_smile:

    Going to distro to Minnesota once you start bottling? Wishful thinking :slight_smile:

    This is awesome news! Probably the best beer made in Iowa. Keep up the good work.

    Probably!?!? Don't make me laugh. When TG goes to bottles, my pocketbook is going to cry like a kid who learned Santa isn't real.

    I've only been able to try Golden Nugget on tap at The Root Note in La Crosse, WI. Fabulous beer, fabulous place! Would definitely try anything I can get my hands on from TG!

    Just make sure you get some stuff down to Davenport. I've never been to the brewery but I've had some stuff at Sanctuary in Iowa City. This is good news

    Just what my wallet needs is a Barrel aged bottle debut from TG!!! Having said that, please do exactly that!

    Truthfully, whatever TGs initial bottle release ends up being, it is going to be costly to me. But in a good way.

    What size bottles???Personally, I'm getting tired of all the bombers etc. Bigger beers only need 12ozs at a time. I will probably get my fix at Red's on tap though. 2 for 1!!

    Except Rare and King Henry, those should come in 3L's. :slight_smile:

    My money is on 6 packs of 12 oz bottles. Also betting Dorothy's, G-Nug and and Pseudo Sue will be some of the first to roll off. Especially the Sue, considering they posted the label on twitter awhile back!

    We can not wait to serve them to you and hear how we did capturing the essence of the hops you have enjoyed in our draft beers! Remember to watch our website for scheduled releases. It's our goal to have our own bottles served with our first brewers meal of moral mushrooms in 2013. Thanks for your patience with us as we grow! :slight_smile:

    In the meantime, I can tell you that we are working on Naughty Temple and will be surprising you with that this spring too. One final blending test and it is ready for blending of barrels and bottling. We have never bottled this one before and it is sure to please you. Very limited, we age this one well over a year in Templeton barrels.
    The last time we did this the beer was one of my all time TG favorites.

    It will be posted on our website and go on sale in our taproom brewery only, if the blend is small. If all the barrels are chosen, we may have enough to send a small supply to our established markets. They will be 22 oz bottles this time around. Either way it will be very limited as the range of perfected final beer amount is between 100 - 300 gallons only.
