Toppling Goliath

They are all over SE Wisco

 

I picked some up at the Mars Cheese Castle last weekend.

 

Mars was pulling the old you have to buy this to get this trick though...

 

Picked up some day before NYE at Tenuta's in Kenosha

 

In Madison, several grocery store's liquor departments received several cases within the last week. Though, if you're looking to trade for some, keep in mind that the temperatures in the midwest are probably too cold to safely ship (unless packed in a styro shipper, and, even with that, I'd still be wary of the recipient finding PseudoSlushies).

 

Yeah, they make it pretty far south, as I've been able to grab 'em not too far from the WI/IL border. With that being said, they weren't incredibly fresh (within the month), despite having arrived at the store 3 days before I picked them up.

 

Any way to keep posted on Toppling Goliath hitting Wisco stores? Any store that posts on fb or beer menus?

 

Yep, they were. Very annoying. And the cans aren't the freshest. Still good though. I checked Tenuta's and all they had was Golden Nugget.

 

They've done a good job keeping the quality up while increasing distribution here. Hoping we'll see more kegs if they sign e a distributor.

 

Worst place to buy beer in the Midwest

 

I won't disagree. But it's the closest place to the city that had PseudoSue and I needed some for a trade.

 

I got suckered into the Mars deal too! Held behind the counter - was in two minds but went for it. Ended up with a four pack of golden nugget from August as part of the 'deal'. Woukd have gone to woodmans but was with friends that wanted to go to the castle. Ah well

 

Does Woodmans carry TG?

 

I'm honestly not sure as I only venture into WI a couple times a year, and only once since I heard TG was distroing south of Madison. But Woodmans was where I was planning to go just for a general beer stop.

 

I'm pretty sure Woodman's doesn't carry TG. You should be able to find it at most Sendik's though.

 

Awesome, thanks. I'm heading up to Only Child Brewing in Gurnee tomorrow and figure since I'm going to be more than halfway to Wisconsin, I might as well head up and try to grab more TG.

 

Not much consistency in batches from these 16oz cans so far. The latest January-dated cans pale in comparison to the previous batch IMO.

 

Agree with this. In Madison at least, neither east nor west Woodmans carries TG.

My 1/5/16 cans taste great. I've felt like every batch of cans that I've bought so far have been consistent. You pretty sure it didn't have to do with something else you were recently/currently eating? I tend to think that's where a lot of people pick up onion/catpiss or just plain weak citra notes, assuming they're drinking reasonably fresh gear.


So nice to be able to get Sue and Nugget so often (and so cheap, comparatively) these days...
