Toppling Goliath Assassin...What Does It Take??

Not sure as I don't have any and haven't tried it yet, but I did trade Matt for a MD. I would rather try a bottle of this than have to try to choke down another BA Old Raspy. Most of the reviews are from Minnesota BA's who came down for the release, so I'm sure homerism is a major factor in the ratings, but I was surprised how good the Naughty Temple was.

 

I love TG, no homer.

 

I do too, but that's kind of my point. If you are a fan of a brewery in general I would guess your average review for their beers is higher. I would assume no bad intent behind it. It's just human nature.

 

I drove 4 hours across the state for it. Only planned on buying 6 (2 for me 4 for friends), tasted it when I got there, and scraped together enough to buy the limit. So in-demand, I'm already down to 5 

 

I put up an ISO and wasn't willing to give up what people wanted for it

 

IE: I need 2 Cherry Ryes for 1, Grey Monday plus for 1. I'll pass

 

LOL beer of the week. It will settle down.

 

LOL it's that good.

 

I found out the same thing. Still hoping the hype will die down, but if not i can wait till the next batch.

 

Per Clark at TG it sounds like Morning Delight will be annual release going forward based on his post in the Midwest forum. "It will happen. Keep in mind the KB has to barrel age forever! We are going to try and make Mornin' Delight annually and look for 12 oz waxed bottles of it."

 

Next years batch of Assassin is aging in pappy barrels, lmay result in even more hype.

Hopefully those who got their limit of Assassin looking to trade some don't try to gouge good BAs.

 

It's already happening.

 

For every pudtwack that twiddle their digits in goobery excitement at picking up the latest insta whale and holding out for ridiculous returns on them, there's a solid BA who won't hold these bottles hostage. And while my math sucks and you should never start a sentence with and, I stand by my proclamation.

 

That is a great chuckle. As soon as we can no longer sell it I guess I will just give it away to you.......lol. LOL.....now let me get back to my Mornin Delight, (bottle #308), while I plan our Kentucky Brunch release.

Every one here knows how I defend our beers, because of what it takes to make beer like that on such a small scale.

Cheers to the fun we have with beer, and your opinions of how to do it!

 

Keep up the good work! Maybe I'll regret asking someone to pick me up a growler of Alternate Galaxy rather than a MD at the release because I won't land one at the trading rate, but I sure enjoyed it none the less. Everything I've tried from TG so far has been top notch even if they don't get the hype.

 

aren't they all

 

thats correct!

 

"Hype dye down"??? We are dealing with berd nerds here! HYPE TRAIN is always chugging along on beeradvocate

 

Not "so good I keep drinking them" ?

 

I've only drank one so far. Got me pretty hammered too.
