    Down 82 votes as of 7:07am. These guys at the dairy have unbelievable support. Time to rally the troops across the internet again.

    I put up a post at another forum I frequent that has a good beer following, and a lot of midwest folks. Hoping that adds some momentum for TG...

    Maybe you would get a bigger response in Beer Talk. Why don't you shoot a moderator a message about getting this thread moved.

    There was a thread posted there last week, but it appears to have been deleted.

    Thanks for the help beer lovers! We were busy today dry spicing our small batch pumpkin ale (Our own brewer Bob grew and roasted the pumpkin) and moving our new Hop Patrol beer: The Riwakan Dead off of it's dry hops and into a brite all the while we brewed a double batch of Golden Nugget....whew!

    So nice to know you are helping us while we keep an eye on the beer!

    61 votes down! Let's keep voting! If we each ask a friend to vote, this is easily doable.

    These types of votes seem to go down in a certain way, final day vote totals. If we keep pace with the cows until Thursday night next week we should be good. The key will be how many people we can get on Friday. Since every person can only vote once, Friday next week will be the key. Twitter, Facebook, etc.

    I've never seen cows get this kind of support.

    Just caught the link from the Great Lakes forum. Voted for you and posted to FB. Haven't had TG (yet), but can't wait to give it try.

    Down by over 100 now. This dairy is the most tech-savy, social-media mobilized bunch of small Iowa farmers imaginable.

    I voted. Morning Delight was the best beer I had at the Great Taste. Between that and what I had at Dexter's, I'm seriously considering the 4+ hour drive to Decorah.

    I am not going to re-register with fucking Facebook just for this vote but I am interested in the outcome. Toppling Goliath would have my support. I grew up dairy and most of my friends are in the dairy business, so what is the competition offering? Building a creamery, offering artisanal cheeses? The whole farm to table movement is powerful, probably more powerful than the craft beer movement so I can see why this is not a slam dunk for Toppling Goliath. There are entire TV networks advocating farm to table while small beer business has no such support.
