Toppling Goliath King Sue

King Sue hasn't been bottled since I believe September, you don't want to trade for it now. PseudoSue is bottled regularly, costs something like $6-7/22oz. bottle, and I think even gets out to distro in Wisconsin and maybe a few other places. It's very easy to get (and awesome).

 

King Sue was bottled and released once so far, this past August, and was $9-10/bomber with very limited distribution to IA and WI (sold out in minutes most places). PseudoSue comes out every month or so for $7-9/bomber, with limited distribution to IA and WI (available for at least hours if not days most places).

 

You might want to consider other hoppy TG beers as well, what's fresh rotates but Golden Nugget is brewed at least as often as PseudoSue, Zeelander occasionally (last bottling was about 3 weeks ago so should be drinking great if stored cold). With Cantillon and 3F and the right trader you should be able to get a bottle or more of Twisted Galaxy and Imperial Golden Nugget, both released a few weeks ago at the taproom.

 

I think he was saying if you're going to be trading for PseudoSue anyway, might as well get your partner to put some of the other TG beers in the box too since the shipping is going to be fairly expensive compared to bottle price probably. I don't have a massive number of tastings to go on, but I'm pretty sure I liked Golden Nugget better than PseudoSue.

PseudoSue has definitely been easier to get as of late, though I wouldn't say it's 'easy' to get unless you're in IA or WI (in which case it isn't very hard at all).

 

FWIW, while it's gotten easier, even in IA/WI I still wouldn't classify PseudoSue as "easy to get". It's hanging around longer in some spots, but I think the last two deliveries sold out in 4-6 hours in the two shops closest to us that get it.

 

Agreed. I know it was sitting around in Hudson for a couple days for a while there, which is what I was basing that on. Not easy, but if you're interested it should be doable at some point.
