Interesting. Wonder what's next. For them and BTV.

 

[Kahler]

very interesting.

Sad story...

For us at least. I'm sure each had their reasons and will end up doing great things

 

[JDoubleDuBB]

I sure would like to know what the real story is here. Both Keeler AND Dawson leaving at the same time? I've been defending NB in regards to getting rid of the flat rate shipping but this just crossed the line...

If there is foul play afoot here NB will definitely be losing my business.

Say it aint so.

Is the Cobra still at NB?

If there is foul play afoot here NB will definitely be losing my business.

I live way too close for this too happen.

Jake has created a blog for his new endeavors.

You can view it here.

No word on what Mike is up to. I'm not sure if he has a twitter account. As for what went down, some one asked Jake on twitter and he wouldn't comment.

That's the pro way to handle it, airing out dirty laundry makes both sides look dumb...

 

[CoalCracker]

What a bummer. I looked forward to BTV episodes.

 

[CadillacAndy]

I was wondering why they weren't on the last episode of btv.

 

[JollyIsTheRoger]

What a bummer. I looked forward to BTV episodes.

They are still putting out episodes, a graff episode posts today actually.

 

[brehuh]

Damn that blows

 

[Homercidal]

What's the big deal? There was an apparent falling out, but those guys are now free to pursue other things and it might turn out great for Homebrewers after all is done and said.

 

[TyTanium]

Something may have gone down, but maybe not. They're friends, they talk, it's not uncommon for folks to move on at the same time; drama is not a requisite, IME.

 

[Indianhead_Brewer]

Nooooooooo!!!! My 4 year old is going to be crushed. No more COBRA

 

[Veedo]

Wtf!

 

[earwig]

This blows. I hope they get jobs soon and it's something that they love doing.

 

[signpost]

Is a new craft brewery in the cards, I wonder?

 

[earwig]

It didn't sound like it by reading his blog.

 

[GatorBru]

Maybe a future times brewery or something like that? Wonder why they both left though. I could see one or the other, but both? Someday a good story I bet.

In case anyone is interested, here are their new blogs.

Very sad indeed. There's a new brewery opening here all the time, maybe it's wishful thinking, but maybe...... Either way, BTV won't be the same w/o them, especially Dawson, he's hilarious!!

 

[bumstigedy]

I'm sad to see Dawson go. I didn't care much for the Cobra.

 

[NordeastBrewer77]

Figured this was the appropriate glass for a great beer. One of my faves, St. Peter's India Pale Ale from Suffolk, UK.

I'm looking forward to the next incarnation(s) of Keeler and Dawson.

 

[Veedo]

I'm sad to see Dawson go. I didn't care much for the Cobra.

how could you not like the cobra!? :cross:

 

[andycr]

I know Northern Brewer is the primary source of funding for BTV, but I hold out some (perhaps misguided) hope for them to continue to appear in future episodes.

It does make me wonder what's up at Northern Brewer, though.

 

[earwig]

I asked Mike Dawson if he would ever fill his fans in on what happened but he said no, it's between him and NB... We may never know.

Bummmer!
