    I like 'me both, especially at $14/$18 a 4 pack. I had basically resigned myself to the $20+ range at this point sadly.

    Yep. It only has a little haze to it. It also spent an extra day conditioning :wink:

    I was greeted warmly, handed a sample of a saison with a smile, and got my beer immediately. It's nice to get heads up that you can walk over and there's plenty of beer and no lines.

    Not sure of cafe, but Pina Colada milkshake is on tap at the Fermentaria right now.

    Great release yesterday! Made it to the Fermenteria around 3 & had some beers and tacos before getting in line. All things considered, I probably could have waited and skipped the line entirely, but it was nice to meet some folks. Both cans are good, but i'm mainly glad I was able to stock up on Ourison.

    Also, the De La Senne collaboration they gave out as a sample is soo crushable. Great summertime beer. The Helles is really well done, too.

    both were still on at 5:30 last night.

    damn I wish that was on before the release yesterday.

    Had my first Tired Hands last night - Saison Hands at Cheu Noodle Bar. I'm giving the beer 4.25/5 and the food 5/5. Thanks for the win-win Philly!

    No lines because everyone is at or going to the beach.

    I am a complete noob to tired hands release schedule could someone assist me with some info? I want to plan a trip sometime this summer to PA and try my best to time it with a milkshake can release. How often do they release milkshakes in cans? Also how does their brew schedule work? Is it similar to treehouse where you don't know until the day or week of? Or is there a release schedule posted like Bissell brothers? Any helpful information would be greatly appreciated!

    They don't announce until the day before. Can releases are usually at 5pm on Wednesday although a handful of times they were on Thursday and I think one Friday. No way to know ahead of time when the milkshakes will be. Your best bet is to plan to be there on a Wednesday afternoon/evening and hope you get a good draw that week.

    Wow very much like tree house does it, smart. But definitely makes it impossible to plan around. How often to they release milkshake variants? Once a month?

    It seems it's been even less than that. They just did one 2 weeks ago and the time before that I want to say was at least 2 months prior.

    Your best bet is to check out their Instagram. It should have all the past releases on there.

    Less than once a month. They have released Milkshake cans 4 times so far this year. Some of those actually were teased on instagram the week before release but last week was Calamansi Milkshake and I don't think that was announced until the day before.

    The best you can really plan is to just be available wednesday and thursday afternoon.

    Just hope that you don't take a day off and then a storm happens and then they lose power and then they postpone for a day and then you forget how replying to Instagram works.
