    Someone from Toppling Goliath told my distributor when they entered WI that their ipa's have a 7 month shelf life. Those were fun days.

    They certainly don’t do that at the taproom. After the reach their date if they can’t sell them at discount Clark sells them at his other factory.

    This was 6 years ago. Frank Family probably ate 6 figures worth of outdated beer back then. Magically the shelf life became 4 months after that fiasco.

    Edit: Part of the deal between them was that the distributor eats the outdated beer that TG sold to retail. If that wasn't fishy to start then I don't know what is.

    Still remember Clark arguing that year old bottles were tasting quite fresh. Even Mike joined in on that non sense unfortunately....

    Went to the Mornin' Latte release, enjoyed the drafts but there are better alternatives at a much more reasonable price. I skipped on the overpriced bottles. Not planning on future TG purchases, will still sample at festivals.

    My apologies, Mornin' Delight. It's definitely an excellent pour, but not at the bottle price point.

    CO and BB dates are on the cardboard box and stamped on the bottom of each can, Most are good for 120 days from canning.

    4/30 King Sue is tasting sublime. 3 weeks after CO date is the sweet spot for me on this one.

    That sounds weird af. Have never had a really solid tequila barrel aged anything without adjuncts in it.

    Twitter said “whose ready for another assassin release this weekend. Details coming soon.” Then that tweet disappeared. IG just says tequila assassin details coming soon.

    there also appears to be some discussion, but don’t have a IG account so can’t Follow that b

    Mike Tweeted that it is not being released this weekend.

    The Assassin release weekend is another round of the Vanilla/Coconut/Regular pickups.

    This is correct. Was a misleading/error message they put out. Looking forward to trying it. He was tight lipped on its production process only stating was only some of the best tequila barrels he had ever seen.

    Thanks for the update. Probably why it was deleted.

    Can someone help me figure out if I’ve got a b5 or b6 MD. Had a couple of each now I can’t remember which my last remaining one is. Different label color, one stamped in the wax?

    Pretty sure both the labels are the same and neither is stamped.
