Tired Hands (August 2017)

Chairs are already half way down Athens and Ferm isn't very crowded....

 

I don't understand people complaining about special releases anymore. If it isn't the price, it's the line. If it isn't the line, it's the allotment size. If it's not cans pp, it's that the keg got tapped quickly. If it's not the scarcity, then it's the taste. Then it goes into opinions ... Blah blah blah.

If you truly wanted to get it, either trade/pay more now for it ... or before Sunday you could of just did what I did ... Create a fresh popular beer cache in order to trade, drive 3 1/2 hours to get there before sunrise, put your chairs down, make about 3 dozen trades with some of the best beer line people I've ever met before opening, purchase your allotments @ noon since you are comfortably 40th-50th in line, and walk away with the most beer I've ever seen in order to share with friends and family.

Honestly though food wise the highlight was finally trying Dalessandro's for cheesesteaks. God bless PA for that place.

 

Well done sir! Reminds me of my trip to other half last year except I go the other way around and try to leave with as many different things as possible but at least you picked a good one!

 

The chair nonsense is really annoying...hopefully they put a stop to it at some point.

 

It is, I understand doing what I did, putting a chair down and going into the brewery to drink and spend money, but clear that is not what happened today based on his the number of people in Ferm when I got here.

 

This is such an old discussion at this point. This is how it works. This is how it's worked for over a year. People can drop chairs after 12PM. People can then do whatever they want - go eat, have a couple of drinks, go back to work, etc - and then by 4:40 everyone gets back in line. It's the way it is, and probably the way it will be until Hands is forced to change it by the township.

If you don't like it, don't line up, go to Stickman or something.

 

Hey look everyone it's a person complaining about something the brewery is completely fine with. I bet you this time the person gets his way and Tired Hands does exactly what they say.

 

Don't be a tool, man. Just my opinion

 

A small part of me wishes that someone would, just once, throw all the chairs into the street or put them in a pile and watch the ensuing hilarity.

 

It's my opinion that the world is flat. Why are people making fun of me? Just my opinion.

 

I just want to see people 1-up each other with types of chairs. What is the most absurd chair one could put into line? A rocking chair?

 

I know you're trying to humblebrag with your post, but people like you that hoard limited release beer just end up looking like jackasses. Why do you need over $600 of a beer that's supposed to be drank fresh?

 

Lol, you sound like a real treat. His opinion is valid because it's an opinion. It doesn't matter if the brewery is ok with it. Just like having an opinion on the quality of the beers even though the brewery is obviously ok with their quality too.

 

I take back my compliment lol. Let's move on, didn't get to try Sticky Drippy Crystals last time, what did people think of that?

 

It's my favorite easy bottle to get from them.

 

I hope that Ochre Graves will last tonight. Still haven't tried any of the coconut oil IPAs yet.

I've enjoyed the previous batch. I thought it was dry, tasted like honey, and it's not very sour.

 

What if I told you I wanted relatives to try this beer because they live in ME, NH, and parts of MA far away and have jobs and family to where they can't come down to try this. Also I'm holding a party in the next few weeks for a large group of people. Also I love this beer and it rarely comes out. God forbid there is someone in this world who doesn't trade all of his allotment or sell it.

Dub X Vanilla is one of my favorite beers. Honestly, I MIGHT hold 1-2 4 packs to trade. Also after dividing it up between us I only came away with 33 cans. Not a lot.

Only took 11 posts to accuse me of being a huge POS beer flipper. Love this community.
