Tired Hands bottle releases?

Is this really even an argument? Cash is always faster. On credit machines, you have to wait for the transaction to go through, you have issues with the reader, issues with peoples' funds on their various cards, you have to switch the paper out, you have to think about whether or not to tip on a to go bottle (hint: you don't) then you have to sign which of course requires some pens. Then in the case of some places, setting up a POS separate from where it normally is. Cash is bing-bang-boom. This is why some places do cash for releases: to speed things up and eliminate the headaches.

What is the best way to found out about TH bottle releases now? They don't seem to be posting info to their website or even twitter anymore.

 

Facebook.

 

11 has gotten bottles at every sunday release so far, no? No need to be there at 9am.

 

Gotcha. Thanks.

 

cons of getting rid of facebook.

 

So a travel coffee thermos would work also?

 

I sadly can't go now (family emergency), if anyone does want to part with their 2nd bottle for something message me (I appreciate the help).

 

I can't make it tomorrow unfortunately but First Level is fantastic, Belew is mighty tasty, Forever Time is really yummy, and this batch of Mago Tago is absolutely beautiful, super drinkable and very very pleasing to the palate.
You guys will have a very good time!!

 

Already 5 cutters. Seriously why pay dudes to watch the line if this shit constantly goes on.

 

Is the line big enough to worry yet? If there's not 200 people yet you all get your share.

 

I know that's why didn't say anything. Just pointing out its worthless for them to pay these guys outside if all they are going to do is BS with the people up front.

 

Well...my girlfriend's dad was a victim of the line cutting today. He was in the area, and was nice enough to stop by around 11:15 to see if there would be bottles left since we couldn't make it. He was told he was #189 when he got on the back of the line. After waiting ~90 minutes he got shut out. I just don't understand why they don't give ticketed #s when you arrive - it would prevent this kind of stuff from happening. I cant imagine ever giving any money to this brewery after the experience he had today....

 

THIS. We were told we were around 140 when we got in line around 1030, then after waiting a good 3+ hours, we got shut out when the bottles ran out on the guy directly ahead of us. The guy in the black leather jacket walking the line wasn't giving any info about anything, and I saw mad assholes cut in line. They need to start ticketing at a certain time and then go back through the crowd to make sure all the people in line have tickets every 30-60 minutes. If there weren't so many self-centered A-holes, most people in line would have got bottles.

 

Glad I didn't end up going to the this, I was gonna leave around 9 and get there about 10:45. I hate beer.

 

I was shut out as well I was three spots away from scoring. I noticed groups of five plus people jumping in line. I think if enough people complain on their Facebook maybe they will give out tickets at the future release.

 

Got there at 8:30. Didn't see much line cutting where I was at. However, security is a joke. People drinking in line all day. Kinda disappointing people go against the stated desires of the brewery they are there to get bottles from. The entitlement issues people in the craft beer world have is astonishing!

 

I got there around 10:45. got to the door around 1:40 and was 3 people away from the bottles when they ran out. a rather bitter first experience for waiting in line for a limited release. someone from tired hands could have at least came out to inform the 30 or so people that got shut out but they were just like, well we're out. you gotta move, we're over capacity. whatever...no big deal I suppose.

around 11 I was informed by leather jacket dude that we were around 170 in line. either he made a poor approximation or people cut in line. regardless, it was nice meeting you guys in line! hopefully we'll be able to drink some brews together sometime.

 

Stop supporting them! Seriously, every bottle release is the same at this place. THEY DON'T GIVE A SHIT! They said they would address it, they haven't. But Bowie's old guitar player posted a pic with TH beer so it's all good. Here is all you can do [email protected], tell him about your experience. Doubt it does any good but WTF.

They named a beer after someone complained about loud music, maybe their next beer can be named Line Cutters that Spill Into the Middle of the Line and Screw People that are Waiting.
