Topping Goliath (2023)

if it’s like last year, you can order multiple KBBS as long as they’re different vintages. for instance my buddy’s 4 pours were DB KBBS and 3 different years of reg KBBS.

 

Did they have other options other than KBBS on tap last year? Can we expect Assassin or Mornin Delight, or an Aurora / 52 Hertz to stay on tap alongside the 6 years of KBBS, or is it pretty much a KBBS tap takeover?

 

For anyone traveling through Rochester on their way to TG this weekend, Forager just announced some special drafts they're tapping today, with a special nod to this weekend's events in Decorah.

 

One more question. Are they real sticklers to the ticket timeframe? My ticket is at 3 and I am hoping to get there earlier.

 

I have gotten my bottle(s) before my time slot in previous years.

 

Do people tend to do line shares at releases like this? I haven't been to a big release since we switched to the post-pandemic world of internet pre-sales, so I don't even know if line shares are still a thing.

 

Am I correct in my understanding that they track compliance with the four-pour limit by marking hands? If so, couldn't people evade the limit by just washing that off?

 

TG Term Oil shelf turds all over Minneapolis at Total Wine and everywhere else. $30 a bottle and it's not moving....

 

I've seen Term Oil, Naughty Temple, and Toppling Timber for $30, $30, and $50 per bottle multiple places. No one's biting.

 

This might explain why TG just started showing up in Virginia--looking for new markets where their product will move since it's stagnating in established markets.

 

Toppling Timber hit shelves? Dang. That didn’t happen in the Quad Cities to my knowledge. Thats one I missed out on

 

Ask a buddy in WI. Seen it a few times around Mke and have to think it's still around. Was at a busy store on Black Friday and everyone kept picking up the bottle like "Whoa!" then putting it down after rotating it and seeing the price tag stamped on the side.

 

TG desperate to dump their Fluffernutters. They include it in nearly every "package/bundle." Wanted to buy the Assassin Coconut today but couldn't do it unless I bought the bundle with fluffernutters.

 

Clark Lewey provided me the best experience I could have imagined today. I did purchase a bottle of Fluffernutter.

 

this was available yesterday?

 

It was. Available as part of a 5 bottle package.

 

Going to chime in to say 52 Hertz is the best TG beer I’ve had

 

It's one of the best I've ever had, TG or otherwise
