Tired Hands (February 2017)

Had it, was blown away. I really feel like these are the kinds of beers they do the best, and they're the beers Jean is the most proud of, but the Milkshakes pay the bills...

 

I haven't had Rust and Decay (I'm way overdue for a trip to TH), but I agree in general. Its amazing to see which of their beers get overlooked and which get the most attention.

 

Speaking of paying the bills...
Lemon Meringue Pie Double Milkshake hitting the cafe today. Coconut, lemon puree, graham crackers, vanilla.

 

Extra Vanilla
1. I like the non fruit adjuncts in ipas more.
2. Despite having said that I just wished the coconut was the Pina colada.

 

Better last till tomorrow..

 

Extra Knuckle...

 

I'm ok with being wrong about the next release

 

What's up with the 2 can releases/week? Did they up their capacity recently? The yields still seem pretty high.

 

Managed to pick up some Pineal today, at around 3:30pm. They had already sold out of the Knuckle, but Pineal lasted until around 4. Was in and out in 5 minutes. Slowly coming around to the plus side of these Sunday releases.

 

I happened to be visiting a friend in PA today and lucked into this release. I am normally very hard on Tired Hands but I have to give credit when it's due. It was one of the smoothest can releases I have been to in a long time. The line moved super fast and I was in and out, very very easy. They have their shit together.

 

Also want to give tired hands props when due. Line moved very fast and everyone was on point. Very painless day and I am enjoying both beers.

 

If they can keep up biweekly releases this may be what all us normal working people have been waiting for. It will cut down on lines both days sans milkshake releases obviously. Fingers crossed.

 

Got in around 3:25 and got one of the last Extra Knuckles.

Sorry if this has been asked before but do the bartenders/wait staff split tips? Kind of felt bad not tipping on an $18 4-pack but wasn't sure if I should have.

 

Extra Knuckle is disappointing. It's not bad, but it's very lackluster IMO. Easy drinking, but that's about it. Glad I only bought one 4-pack.

Anyone have this batch of Pineal yet?

 

Tip on a 4pk? Nobody tips when they wait in line to grab it. Im sure they probably split tips there.

 

Tip on a Growler for sure, 4-pack is up to you.

 

FYI - Walked in at Noon, grabbed 3 4pks of Pineal. No line, no waiting. I wish every week was this easy.

 

I went in on Saturday for a nice afternoon, and just wanted to chime in here that I thought Trendler is an exceptionally well done hoppy pils, On Tap was the clear winner for IPAs in my opinion, and I wish I could find beers like Shambolic regularly. Oh, and the milkshake was good, too.

 

Looks like Secret Poncho on Wednesday.

 

If it's secret poncho and doesn't have Magic Man on the label, that is just wrong.
