Tired Hands (May 2016)

The JK collab was brewed in Texas, hence the "Texas only release." Also, Shambo that is sitting on the shelves is tasting awesome. And Ourison is always tasting great.

 

Can anyone confirm that the Shambo/Ourison are still sitting on the shelf?

 

I'll have to go find the picture where you can kind of see "para 6 and 7" written on boxes in a pallet, but I'm fairly certain it is already bottled.

Someone I know also mentioned that they saw RP somewhere on the floor.

Related to RP, the glass I had at the anniversary was much better than the original glass I had of it when it was first released. Anyone else experience this? Basically tasted like two different beers to me.

 

They were yesterday night, I bought a few of each. I know I saw other bottles behind the bar but not sure if they had anymore stored somewhere else. Hope I don't come across as a hoarding dick, it was my impression these bottles have been sitting there for awhile so I picked up a couple extra for friends back home.

 

Bottles of Ourison shockingly last for weeks, so buy 'em up. You got 2 great beers, Shambolic was the first Tired Hands beer I ever had, after having it on draft in Lancaster I immediately decided to drive 1.5 hours (out of my way) to the brewery. And I think Ourison is one of the best beers they make.

 

That's great to know. I wanted a sample first but they didn't have any on draft. I was kinda concerned about how the hoppier one holds up.

I also kinda figured buying 3 of each wasn't an issue since there were no limits and they lasted through the anniversary party. Thanks for the info.

 

Can Release, Tomorrow @ 5p:

HopHands ($14 per)
Helles Other People (Helles Lager) ($15 per)

 

If anyone could provide a line update when they arrive, it would be most appreciated. I won't be able to get over there until after work around 6 and would hate to drive over and not get to grab anything.

 

Given the options, I'll be surprised if that doesn't last deep into the night, maybe even the next day. Of course that's assuming normal allotments/yield.

 

with all the folks intown for CBC though even if the regulars aren't lining up they will have a lot of people in/out of there so don't be shocked to see a lot of stuff sell, people will take whatever they can get often enough

 

this might add a wrinkle to tonight

tiredhandsbrewingToday is the beginning of our two day CellarMaker Séance. Roughly nine months ago, our great pal, Tim from @cellarmakerbrewing, dropped by the @fermentaria to collaborate on a very special Imperial Stout named Tony Vecchio. At the time, it was the biggest beer that we had ever produced at Tired Hands. The grain bill was painfully intricate, as was our fermentation program. After a month-long stint in stainless steel, Tony Vecchio was then racked into a melange of red wine barrels and Bourbon barrels... a good portion of the Borboun barrels were sent to us fresh and wet from @breckdistillery! The red wine barrels were also inoculated with our house Emptiness culture. The beer conditioned for a long time, and then we blended it all together. The resulting Imperial Stout is exceedingly refined with drippy notes of ripe red berry, dense Belgian chocolate, sticky caramel pudding, vibrant oaky-vanilla, and mature coffee bean. Tony Vecchio finished at 11.2% abv. While we will be bottling a good bit of this beer, today we present to you a sneak peek of great bottled things to come. We will be doing 4oz and 8oz pours of Tony, as well as 32oz growlers to go. Tim and Connor will be at the FERM this evening too, so swing by, meet our sweet CellarMaker dudes AND Tony Vecchio, grab some cans, and enjoy some tacos. Cool! See you soon! #dreambeer

 

Wasn't going to go today, but....

 

Yea...looks like I will be getting a growler filled now too.

 

Don't sleep on that gose with the salted ants in it either!

 

i am looking forward to the bottle release of this one. So that is 3 upcoming bottles para 6, para 7 and then vecchio

 

What are the odds they push the limits on Tony? Think they'll stick to the $4/$6 pours or exceed that price?

 

Look how cheap the bottle openers were.

 

How about growlers? 40$? 50$?

I'll try to get the Helles and a pack of Hophands though.

 

I guessing minimum of $20 for a 32 OZ.

 

Also - cans now feature date stamps on the cans
