It’s only a matter of time; Pseudosue went from large format bottles to smaller format bottles to (eventually/HOPEFULLY) cans. Of course I’m just making an educated (perhaps poor) guess, but I expect at some point will see some of the basic stuff pop up (e.g. Dorothy, Golden Nugget, etc.). Perhaps reminiscent of Pipeworks; it only took them how long to get here?
Well, I’m using my knowledge of how Pipeworks started out: tap, bottles, cans…small distro to a bit more distro. I’m taking that and deceptively applying it to TG; Pseudosue being 22oz is now offered in 12oz, and rumored to be canned (http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2015/04/toppling-goliath-will-can-pseudo-sue-soon.html) Of course I’m just using an example to support my own hopes in dreams, as there can be strong arguments against my hypothesis (e.g. Surly, FFF…) To be fair though I did put “perhaps poor” in parenthesis to be counterintuitive, but mainly to warn off attackers from calling me out on the words “educated guess.” Nonetheless, I was called out, and don’t have much more support for this premise other than:
I appreciate you taking the time to respond, but I fail to see how what Pipeworks does has literally anything to do with what TG does. I mean, it's just wishful thinking, nothing more. There's nothing wrong with that, but it's certainly not an educated guess or even a hypothesis. You realize that right? Toppling Goliath distributes (barely) to only two states outside of Iowa. https://batchgeo.com/map/?i=3998076196161c7b0487a9aea9e0cb7a&q= For example, they don't even distribute to Chicago/Illinois. My educated guess is that New Jersey isn't even close to being on their radar. Your best bet is to make friends with someone in Iowa/Minnesota/Wisconsin.
Topping Goliath contract brews in Florida, FWIW. I'm too lazy to check if any stays there. http://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/toppling-goliath-expansion-through-brew-hub-fl.270388/
right, forgot about that. I'm trying to remember if any of my Tampa pals have sent me TG beers (I don't think they have).
Already got me too many friends in that fine state(s)…just providing some insight to the OP/arguably poor I was more along the lines thinking of NY, which is where Pipeworks is popping up. Nonetheless, I don’t expect TG to pop up anytime soon or ever for that matter…
Thanks for the tip about Florida. FYI - more details, including future distro plans... http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2015/04/13/toppling-goliath-brewhub-collaborate/25446027/
