Toppling Goliath Returns

Last month, I posted a story about  Adam Carlson of Gardina’s and how he’s been working to bring the beers of Toppling Goliath to Oshkosh. I mentioned that when the next shipment arrived, I’d post a note about it here. Well, it’s here.

Yesterday afternoon, Gardina’s took delivery on two of the Iowa brewery’s coveted beers: Golden Nugget IPA and  Pseudo Sue Pale Ale.

Golden Nugget hasn’t been available here before. This IPA is a study in hops. It delivers a gush of tropical-fruit aromatics and a complex palate of hop flavors that range from citrus to floral to evergreen. Golden Nugget gets insanely high marks on both RateBeer and BeerAdvocate and is a must for any hop head.

Pseudo Sue I’ve mentioned here before. It’s a cult beer that’s actually worthy of the hype it has generated. This ale is a showcase for citra hop flavors that are framed by gently sweet malt. It’s a phenomenal beer. Don’t take my word for it, take a look at THIS.

Folks, these won’t last long, so get to ‘em. They’re available in 22 oz. bombers in the packaged beer section at Gardina’s.
