Tired Hands (May 2016)

Mine are still getting cold in the fridge - I stopped inside for some fence mender - fuckin love that beer.

 

I feel like a dickhole complaining about this, but I've gone to 2 of these things, and both times one of their square readers wasn't working. Ended up taking way more of my time than I wanted. Sucks this is still happening regularly.

 

Sometimes I wonder if they would just go back to a cash only system but I cant imagine they want a table full of thousands upon thousands of dollars.

 

Yea, they actually got everything back up and running after about 15-20 (or I am guessing you were there, so you already know this) But anyways, the general consensus with the group standing around me was they will be bringing cash from here on out.

Edit: Tried AR last night, I thought it was delicious. I get where the Pineal comparison can be seen. However, I felt like the back end was really unique (and awesome).

 

The line scared me away, too. I enjoyed some Piña Colada Milkshake, got some growlers and drove past around 5:20. The line was all the way down to Cricket Ave, so I decided to skip it. Oh well, next time.

 

I got in line at about 4:45 and it was wrapped around to McCloskey's. I don't get these lines at all anymore. The only certainty in all of it is that if they can a lager, you'll be good.

 

It seems to be at least for the last several, as long as you get there by 5 you're good. Of course that might not be the case if they do another milkshake release but that's fine with me.

 

How was the milkshake? I have some growlers coming my way and am hoping it was as good as it sounds.

 

I have only had peach and blackberry on tap, but I was surprised at how ordinary they are. They are tasty beers for sure, but they're nothing crazy and I would honestly rather drink one of their regular IPAs.

 

I have had them all except for the blackberry and love them. The pina colada one sounds right up my alley. I think the passion fruit milkshake from the tap might be one of the tastiest beers out there.

 

I guess I'm just not big on IPAs where they add fruit or fruit juice during the brewing process. I don't mind big and juicy, but I want my juice flavor to come from the hop profile. When they add the juice flavor from other sources it always tastes off to me, almost artificial.

 

@TKozuch I really enjoyed the Piña Colada Milkshake. I have to say though, Go Ride a Bike, is an absolutely killer beer. I was surprised how good that was. Never had the 'original' release so I can't compare, but this one was delicious.

 

Sea of Green. Having one right now. Holy shit this is good. Might be the best Tired Hands I've had. It's like a juicy Weedeater.

 

Was Sea of Green at Ferm or Cafe? So hard to find updated tap lists...

 

I had it at a local bar 2 hours west of Ardmore. I believe the Fermentaria has or had it. I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's what they served to the people in line at the can release this week.

 

Yeah, it's on tap at the Fermentaria. At least it was yesterday. Tasted good at the can release, a Tired Hands DIPA and similar to Punge.

 

The Pina colada milkshake was awesome, one of their better ones imo. Audrey was really good too I thought.

 

I found it danker than Punge, which is a good thing. But I can see the comparison. I guess you could say it was like they mixed Punge with Weedeater.

 

I'll usually check Untappd locations to see what people are checking in at each place.

 

Acid Raindrops is probably my favorite beer I've had from these guys. So good.
