    I'm not "sprouting" any rumors. I'm telling you he's right, it's exactly what happened, and I am not going to source it- nor should he.

    The crowd that instantly comes to TG's defense regardless of circumstance is a weird one - almost as weird as the threadshitters in the ISO/FT forum that go "HURRR DURRRR TG IS ALL HYPE" every time someone tries to trade some.

    I didn't say it was a bad beer. I drank it Tuesday, it's very very good. Great, even. But it is what it is- a botched assassin batch that was kept in barrels for an extended period of time.

    I think I have posted this in every TG thread so far. But you guys are good at outdoing yourselves. THIS one is now the reigning champ of stupid TG threads. Yaaaaaay.

    So either you're an employee of TG, or you're good friends with one of the brewers. If not, your answer is just as much speculation as the rest of us.

    Hey that was me! I was surprised to see it released on tuesday after he had said no, gave me a chance to make the drive down there after my PT job.
    Still haven't opened my SR but waiting for a good time to do so, it's killing me not to open it after reading some of the reviews and hearing about it.

    Like MNBeerGeek, I post this in every TG thread (until the whole thing gets deleted) and it rings more true every time - 'Beer is tearing this community apart!'

    I'm of the opinion that Regifter was supposed to be King Sue. What I heard right after Mike left was that no one knew where any of the beers in tanks were at in their dry hopping stages because he wouldn't let the assistants be around when he was doing those schedules. I'm of the opinion Clark knows them, but without knowing where they were at in their progressions it's impossible to replicate the recipe.

    We can start saying the sky is falling if they aren't able to produce the next batch of beers. I do believe that will mean a period of time with no Sue or Nugget though.

    I dunno. I think I'll believe that homebrewer dude over the owner. :rolling_eyes:

    This thread is awesome, better then reality TV! I wonder if Clarke, Mike, or any other TG person checks these threads out and giggles over it all?

    I'm going to hold on to my SR-71 for a while...maybe drink one in the fall?

    Honestly, how can you believe anything their Twitter says?

    Drink it or cellar it? That tweet says both.

    My money is on @Ivan_drago and @SaulTBauls being correct and it's refreshing. I wish TG no ill will but I am not sure I'm believing the TG twitter account. We already know where this info is coming from and we don't need them to name names. Also while @tgchief is on here please explain the #pos comment in depth also? I think Mike had ton to do with the light shined on your brewery and that was classless.
