Tired Hands (April 2017)

I thought Copy & Paste tasted great when I had one on Thursday...something reminiscent of Mimosahands from the Sunday brunch menu. And the ferm taplist right now has two of my favorite "OG" beers, Honey, I Love You and Go Ride a Bike! Progression Through Unlearning rules too!

 

There is certainly a pattern to Milkshake releases (one every 3-4 weeks, right?) but there doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason as to what type of Milkshake gets released. I wouldn't bother trying to guess or worry about it (also, they infrequently can the same milkshake twice... it happens, but not often).

And (I'm not sure if this is the general consensus itt), in my opinion the Milkshakes are not handily superior to all other Tired Hands cans by any estimation. While the Milkshakes are often great, there are duds here and there and some of the other one-offs or infrequent cannings are just as good or much better than your average Milkshake (even though they might not have the same name recognition or trade value).

 

They were handing out Go Ride A Bike samples at the release. It was fantastic.

 

Cool, thanks, just what I was looking for - I overloaded with some local IPAs and don't really need any more for the usual and obvious reasons, but am a glutton for punishment and have just [unfortunately] discovered the whole mail trading thing and have a whole lot of catching up to do with both Tired Hands and Other Half as Trillium is oh so backyard to me at this point...!!! Cheers!

 

Anyone have an idea on the line?

 

What line?

And agree on the shakes. There are definitely misses. The Blueberry pancake ones are almost undrinkable now.

 

Prob next weeks release line. '...there will be chairs'. '...I drink...your Milkshake!'

 

Looks like Rosé is on for next week. Sounds good -- anyone try it last time it was brewed?

 

Wasn't my favorite, it is pretty fruit forward. Reminded me of St Oner. It reminded me of fruit punch.

 

Rosé is all hibiscus with no fruit, right? I remember it being in line with some of the sweeter beers where it is really unique, interesting, and tasty but not an "everyday beer."

 

Rosé is a bright and zippy IPA that we brewed with hibiscus flowers, conditioned atop heaps of calamansi and lemon purée, and then dry hopped intensely with Citra, Amarillo, Centennial, and Simcoe.

It was a decent beer, but not one I would stand in line for....

 

It definitely had fruit in it. It was some combination of citrus fruits that I'm too lazy to look up at the moment.

It was one of my favorite cans they've put out, though there's a lot of can releases I haven't had.

 

My mistake!

 

Rose was like fruit punch. I enjoyed it the first time but not sure I'd want many of them. Think I got a 4 pack and that was plenty and it would have been a better beer come July/August when the heat is in full swing

 

I'm most interested in the lager they brewed and bottled into 750ml bottles (see instagram post last week). A change of pace would be nice. Any idea what that's about?

 

? it's about what they said it's about in their instagram no... ? lager bier with lemon juice that will be conditioning at the dispensary till it's ready..

the things on the left are some sort of signals/signal tower http://www.auer-signal.com/en/products/product:704

maybe the talk about it having been bottled on the same bottling line as the 1st bottle, handfarm.. means that the signal tower is something to be used for a new bottling line or something else...? who knows exactly but i'm sure in time we'll find out... 6/3-6/4 for anniversary stuff they plan to open the general store... I'm sure some new things will be going down with TH this summer, what precisely.. who knows


They recently sent Honey I love You over to the dispensary for conditioning as well

 

Prayer group is on tap now

 

Did anyone else assume that those were just grinders?

 

I took the bottling line talk to mean that they aren't expecting the beer to be entirely clean. I don't know why else they would bottle condition a clean lager.
