    Trolling through Twitter tonight and found this tweet. Maybe I live under a rock but didn't know there was this upheaval at Toppling Goliath. Regardless it appears they are handling it pretty well Id say ....

    (Also I get they're in Iowa but Treehouse and this is the only forum I post in yada yada yada)

    Haha, seriously. All I care about is that they've apparently backed out of EBF. Which is lame since they originally put out a pretty deep list of beers for the fest.

    That page doesn't go anywhere, but there is no Treehouse collab in the works that TG is aware of. Assuming that's what you were posting about.

    There's a reference on the tree house feed about hoping someone got a screencap. So I assume posts were deleted.

    The post is still there. The person was referencing the old brewer's twitter page. It looks like something may have been said about the brewer that was deleted. Also happened on the brewers page. Just looks like trash talk.

    Must've been deleted. Their old brewer Mike posted a bunch of tweets brewing with Treehouse. TG RT'd and told him to change his Twitter (still says he's head brewer at TG) and called him an a-hole and a POS ....

    Anyone else enjoy brewer fights? People assume it's all a bunch of chill stoner dudes talking hops. And it probably is until they start making money, then they're as vicious and litigious as any other business.

    Mike Saboe, the OLD brewer at TG, is brewing a collaberate with Treehouse. The brewers have a relationship, not related to TG. Still going to be an amazing beer. Or if your newmoney then it'll be shit.


    PS:
    Jared we are drinking beers ASAP.

    They were the best beers (hop forward) at EBF last year when I worked it. I believe it was King Sue and Psuedo Sue?

    I hope their stouts are as good as advertised. Psuedo sue was good but the other hoppy beers I had were not impressive at all...I have an assassin to drink so I hope giving up my flora was worth it! haha

    I have heard the stouts are very good from a few folks who's opinions I trust. I have only had Ps and thought it was great both times.

    Seems like their relationship ended amicably.

    Some people shouldn't handle the business twitter account.

    They are, Mornin Delight is the best beer I've ever had hands down. I don't know how he made something that complex and balanced without any barrel. Assassin is my least favorite of the big 3, but it's definitely worth it for Flora.

    Their beers were the best at the fest last year and there was no line most of the day...got full 12oz of all 3 because I kept going up.

    Hopefully Mike stays here and keeps brewing with Treehouse!

    TG Kentucky Brunch is the best dark beer I've had hands down.

    I put Hill, Saboe, Kimmich and whoever is responsible for Russian River as the best brewers in the country.
