Tired Hands (April 2016)

There is literally no line, I was dumb to worry.

 

Also, bottles of Ourison, Para 47, and Shambolic on the shelf.

 

That was really weird. Walked up at 5:15 to no line..walked in and out.

 

There had to be about 100 cases when I left at 6:30. Will probably make it to tomorrow.

 

Woo-Hoo! The Tired Hands fans have finally run out of money!?!

Cheers!

P.S. And Jean thanks you!!

 

Well, I ended up arriving at around 7 PM. Not a damn person in line. A whole pallet just sitting there. Got my case and then went inside for some beers. Got one of the last pints of Blackberry Milkshake - pumped I got to try it, it was delicious. Glad it wasn't a mad house for my first time.

 

Enjoy the reprieve. I'm sure things will be back to normal next week.

 

Preach it.

 

This batch of Pineal is absolutely fantastic - it's the best I've had of this beer.

Also was able to get a platinum charente anniversary glass with the teeth, which are pretty dope I think. Was hoping they still had some glassware left, and it looked like there was a decent amount left at the Ferm as of 5:30-6:00 last night.

 

50 Cases left as of about 8p last night when them moved the cans behind the bar. I'm guessing there will be a fair amount available today since they can only sell 3 4pks per person from the bar.

 

Must have been right behind you in line. Was happily surprised they had that much left over at the time.

 

I had a co-worker mule it for me, he doesn't like TH (he thinks the staff is snobby) but he lives 5 minutes away, he said there was no line. He texted me saying they had bottles for sale but he said the girl working the counter seemed frustrated when he asked her what the bottles were -- she didn't seem to know.

Nice to have 2 4-packs of Pineal waiting for me on my desk when I got in today though! Hopefully this is how things will be moving forward: lots of releases that meet the demand. There won't be long lines if they have beers available a few times a week.

 

Actually wasn't there yesterday, just saw the update on IG. I just got back from the noon opening, they had 15 cases with a 3 4pk limit. We got there at around 11:50 and were 15th in line. By opening there was a good size line - unfortunately those in the back probably weren't getting any as most were buying the full allotment.

 

Just out of curiosity, TH seems to get a lot of strange aggression on this site and on their social media, but I haven't read closely enough to figure out the exact reason, but I'm getting it's because 1. creeping prices for beer and food and 2. mismanaged bottle/can releases. Is that it?

 

I'll say that personally I'm put off by their whole "aesthetic". It just isn't my style. I really like the food and beer so I look past it but I understand people's distaste for them. Prices are undeniably high too.

edit: You mentioned your coworker thinks the staff is snobby and I see where that comes from too. Most of the staff is great though and I've had very positive experiences with most of them but a few do act snobby or annoyed. They can have that dissaffected attitude which is annoying.

 

Since cans have started releasing the amount of bitching on social media has almost tripled. Its pretty fucking sad and pathetic that people cant just keep to themselves. Between the wrist band fiasco, $22/4 pk pricing, and all the people crying over chairs this past weekend at the anniversary party its just the beginning I fear.

 

Has anyone else here drank one of last week's milkshakes recently? I had Peach last night and just poured a Blackberry can and it is not hazy like normal. They literally look like snowglobes with pretty big chunks in there. Maybe my fridge is too cold?

 

Pineal FTW.

 

I've had several of each and mine are totally normal (TH normal, that is).

 

I feel like there is a underlying passive aggressive tone to the entire online craft beer community. I just started looking into maybe starting to trade but the superiority complex of some people is just insane. It is just as obnoxious as hipsters and music. If something is popular it is automatically shit to some of these people.

I don't know - its just beer. The hunt for delicious beer shouldn't be so judgemental. I dont give a shit if your BCCBCBCBC from 1913 is better than my "bullshit Orange juice IPA"
