Tired Hands (January 2017)

Only time I had Vaporizer was at the opening of the Ferm. I remember liking it!

 

Looks like $18 a 4 pack of Technicolor wasn't expensive enough. $20 now?

 

It appears that this particular batch is extra special?

"Big papaya and grapefruit notes in this batch."

Cheers!

 

Will the 11% price increase stop you from buying it?

Cheers!

 

They $18 price tag had me turned off the first time!

 

So, I will count you as a "No" for the 20 bucks price.

Anybody want to bet that Technicolor does not sell out within 24 hours from the release time?

Cheers!

 

For this beer, yes. It's good, but not that good. I can count on my hand the number of beers from Tired Hands that I'd value at a $20/4-pack (or more) price point.

 

New year got to adjust for that inflation!

 

I appreciate your feedback here.

I am still guessing that this beer will sell out quickly despite its price increase. It appears to me that when it comes to Tired Hands beers the factor of Extreme Exuberance seems to have no bounds. Now I fully admit that if Tired Hands charged a thousand dollars a 4-pack that nobody would buy these beers but it seems to me that Jean is exploring the bounds here.

Cheers!

 

Yeah, the cost of living has increased by 10+% per year!

Cheers!

 

Well now that Ardmore is a premiere camping destination real estate has skyrocketed.

 

Oh I'm not saying it won't sell out, because it will. This is just more of a personal decision than anything else. The last person to get some Technicolor Splendor can thank me

 

Pretty lame that Technicolor Splendor has had the price increased. I noticed this started with Eviscerated Pathway of Beauty too, that was a DIPA at 20$ while last year the DIPA's were 18 and Milkshakes+adjunct beers were $20. Now the DIPA's and Milkshakes have all gone up $2.

In my defense before someone complains about complainers, the Tired Hands DIPA's are incredibly great beers. Eviscerated Pathway might be one of the best I've ever had but I'm still aware that it cost a higher price than the previous ones like Oblivex and PUNGE that were all $18.

For Technicolor Splendor, I've had cans from a mediocre batch and cans from a killer batch. One of those was possibly worth $20 and one wasn't, I'm not lining up tomorrow but hopefully it's another killer batch.

 

How much does Hands charge for a 64oz growler of their DIPAs though? Isn't it in the mid 20s range? Personally, I'd rather pay 20 for the convenience of having 64oz split into 4 cans that I can drink whenever, rather than 1 growler that I have to drink all at once.

That's how I look at it, at least.

 

Yeah but what they charge for growler pricing is kind of nuts to begin with...

 

But it's profoundly hopped.....

 

And before @JackHorzempa asks me if it will stop me from buying them that is not what I am writing about here. Comparisons brewery to brewery are different than me personally valuing a beer. I am trying to think of any other growlers I have filled recently, I am not going to try and do math right now but it was $20 (plus 6 bucks for glass) for 68oz of a double ipa at Tree House. Pretty sure my 32oz growler of paper mansion the other week was more than that already.

Cheers!

 

Gotta be the first 8 to get a $150 bong, I mean beer sensory glass. Only through the vaporizer can you experience the technicolor splendor.

 

Paper Mansion was $18 (+$5 if you bought a growler) and worth exactly not one penny of that.

 

$150? I think I can "enlighten" myself just fine with an empty Technicolor Splendor can and some well placed holes...
