Tired Hands (September 2016)

Maybe they'll move to the system Three's is using and run it out of there. then again releases at the ferm are producing a good flow of income from food/draft

 

Couldn't agree more. Had it on tap last week after picking up cans and it was subpar at best. For the longest time I was anxiously awaiting them to release this stuff in cans, but now I'm pretty sure I'll pass if this is what is offered this week.
Can't wait to see the outlandish ISO:FT's for this on their Instagram post, lol..

 

Makes sense, but I can't imagine they would rent out an entire separate building just for a gift shop...right?

 

Hopefully it will be for off-site beer, like growler fills and cans. I was just pointing out that the 192 oz limit will apply for any to go beer sold there.

 

The latest batch of MT a few weeks ago was OK at best. Was not the hazy juice bomb it once was. Wondering how this run of cans will turn out.

 

Coming to a TH can release sometime in the near future.

I agree the MagoTago release is a couple years too late. Admittedly I haven't had it since they first released it a few years ago, but I would bet it hasn't changed...just our palates have.

 

Nice to see Mago Tago finally making it into cans.

 

It most definitely has, at least the most recent batch. Not that it's terrible just not the juice bomb we had become used to

 

Predictions? Is this Milkshake level? There's no lager to take the edge off the hype...

 

I don't know how you can definitively compare a beer you had recently to one you had 2-3 years prior. Chances are it tasted juicier back then before juice bombs became so prevalent and now our palates have adjusted.

 

Milkshake level confirmed... This was one of Tired Hands first beers that made people go nuts. I remember going to the cafe and kegs of this kicking within a matter of hours. Of course thats before they limited growlers.

 

$2 cheaper per 4pk than milkshake. doesn't look as "hazy/turbid" than milkshake. maybe less people will show? prob not.

 

Not true this beer varies more than just about any beer I have ever had. This latest batch sucked from the brew cafe. I think they are using lower quality fruit due to the volume.

 

Or it could be that I've had almost all of the batches of mago and can tell the difference.

 

This is my weekly entertainment.

 

Agreed. I have had all of the batches of Mago Tago, At least I think I did. The best batch ever was the Mosaic Mago from the 3rd Anniversary party. The next best batch was the first one. There has not been a good batch since they opened up the Fermentaria, And frankly the batch from last summer that was brewed at the fermentaria was not even drinkable IMO. It was terrible. It was watery and flavorless.

 

Can't agree more, that mosaic was killer

 

As long as it trading beast, that's all that really matters. I never heard so much trade talk as I did at the double watermelon milkshake release. I can't underestimate how much of this stuff is not kicked back locally. I would like to see the Fedex traffic locally after milkshake releases. Fedex must think it's Xmas

 

a few years? common, they haven't even had the canning line for a full year i don't think... a few years

watch this batch of mago will be killer... and everybody will be ISO.... also Pineal is consistently one of the best cans they do

from my recollection after the ferm opened and they did that horrid mago i was told mago wouldn't be on at the ferm again as it simply takes too much processing of mangoes.. i feel they probably went to the mango puree method and this beer hasn't been the same since... maybe they had 6 people processing magoes for a week straight at the ferm recently to make this batch special.. .who knows... i do think that most fruit ipa's they did in the past were amazing b/c of the amount of love that went into them and the batch size being smaller.. not sure they'll ever be as good as they once were but you never know
