Toppling Goliath coming to MA?

Golden nugget has been my repeat buy as well. Really enjoyable beer

I gave into a bomber for the galaxy Sue. Looking forward to that tonight, super hazy in the bottle and was priced alright ($10)

 

Pompeii > psuedo > GN for me so far

 

not overly impressed with galaxy PS. Near the bottom of PS beers I've tried so far. Probably goes

SOSUS > GN > psuedo > pompeii > galaxy PS > supasumo

for me anyway.

 

So I completely retract my previous statement.

In the past two months or so I’ve bought more from Toppling Goliath than from any other one brewery. For quality/price/ease of finding, there’s really not many better deals.

Went to my favorite store yesterday. Just wanted a 4 pack of an IPA for the weekend. $20-22 for SingleCut, $15-18 for Finback/Foreign Objects/Sip of Sunshine and a ton of others, or $12-13 for Golden Nugget or Pseudo. Toss up between them and some Night Shift options, but decided on Golden Nugget since it’s been a long time since I’ve had it.

Still not spending $11-16 for a bomber, but I’ll continue to grab their 4-packs.

 

starting to see TG basically always available. Good news.

 

agree

 

Seems King Sue is creeping closer. That is, Atlas Liquors has one bottle of it.

 

Saw a bomber of King Sue tonight at a local liquor store for $25! Other Toppling Goliath beers seemed to be competitively priced. A four pack of Pompei was $11:99
I believe. However, $25 for KS seems ridiculously overpriced to me.

 

Seems and is. Haven’t heard of any place selling KS bombers for anywhere close to that. That’s crazy.

 

Agreed. I've seen it for 12 to 14 dollars. You could out em for that...

 

Scorpius Morchella DIPA dropped yesterday in IA. First bottling ever of it.

You will get an opportunity at it soon. Buy it. It is delicious.

 

Easy for you to say. You don't have to borrow money from your 401K to buy a bottle like we do here in MA.

 

Blame your packies for the pricing. They are not the cheapest in IA either. Bombers range from 9.99-11.99 here. Scorpius ran 11.99

Also, I get Trillium/Treehouse Porch drops nearly every week. I can overspend on beer as well lol

 

Have had both King Sue and Supa Sumo on tap, both of which are excellent. I can most definitely see myself ordering them on tap whenever I see them.

That being said, I'm drinking a Psuedo Sue which is a little over a month old, still pretty fresh IMO, but noticed several cases sitting in the back of the store. If this beer had sat for another week, I don't think I would purchase.

It's a good beer, at a great price point, and conveniently in many store, but I'd spend 2 bucks more any day of the week for fresh Fort Point (I get its not as easy for everyone to make that trip to Trill).

TG offerings will continue to sell, especially once the bombers get into cans, but it's clearly going the same route as most new breweries introduced to the market. Wonder what the next new shiny brewery will be.

 

I picked one up. I'll try each bomber once.

 

Not certain on hops. A mix of Pacific NW and Southern Hemisphere hops. DIPA 100+ IBU 7.8%abv. And the beer is brewed with Morel Mushrooms.

Really tough to put down what it tastes like. Really well blended tropical fruit with equals amounts of spicy, floral tones. a little sweet on top. I'd put it below King Sue and Fire Skulls, Money. I'd say it's better than Hopsmack, Sosus, and Supa.

It's an interesting beer. One of those that makes you think and has subtitles.

 

i'm drinking it now. Firmly behind SOSUS for me. Firmly ahead of Supa.

 

I can blame whoever I want, it won't make the price go down. And Treehouse is super cheap compared to the Toppling Goliath bombers. Trillium cans are at most $5.50 per 16 oz., still cheaper than TG bombers.

I bought King Sue once just to try it, I MIGHT buy this one once. But both are one and done's for me at those prices.

Prices are just higher here overall, especially in Somerville where I live (basically Boston, not the suburbs). We regularly see $8 drafts of craft beer where I live.

I prefer my beers without subtitles. If the label is in any language other than English, that's a hard pass for me.

 

I suspect this is a typo because the beer is not brewed with mushrooms but rather brewed to coincide with morel season.

 

Well that’s a relief.

 

King Sue 4pks in the next couple of weeks

 

If this becomes regular....Oh man.....

 

Yeah just saw atlas liquors Medford menu in it on their FB page.

 

Anyone see any TG on the South Shore?

 

Luke’s rockland , pembroke center & Regal in Whitman all have TG

 

Kappys Norwell too

 

Pop's in Easton has Pseudo Sue.Canned on 4/13.Dubs in Mansfield.

 

Empire Wine and Spirits in Kingston as well

 

Blanchard's marshfeild, usually in walk in

 

Bradford's in Plymouth has several cases in the walk-in cooler. My wallet talked my brain out of a trip to Tree House on TH, & ended up getting a case of Pseudo Sue for $62.

 

Anybody w/north shore sitings besides one stop in Haverhill? Their pricing is on the top end of the scale based — think they’re charging 16 for PSue 4s.

 

Is this a case discount or are they selling $10 4pks?

 

Vinnin in Swampscott. In the cooler closest to the walk-in. Can't remember what I've paid, but their prices are generally very reasonable.

 

Stopped in at Groton Market on the way to my mother's house today. They had a bunch of TG bombers going back to the initial drop of Supa Sumo. They had 5 or 6 different beers in bombers. They also had P.Sue and 3 or 4 other beers in 4pks. Seems like people in the Groton area either aren't into TG or are sleeping on this store.

Picked up a Galaxy Sue ($10.99) and Scorpius Morchella ($12.99). Looking forward to both. These prices sound like they're lower than what most places are charging for TG bombers

 

CBC's all have them, plus Bin Ends

Pseudo Sue - Awesome

Pompeii - Meh

Dorothy's - might be personal preference but I LOVE this. Its categorized as a California Common. I don't get that, but sure. Such a sweet grainy cereal flavor to it.

 

Case discount

 

Kind of north shore, but total wine Danvers regularly have PS at $11 with Pompeii and golden nugget at $10
