Tired Hands (September 2017)

The line never made it to Athens. The 2pm rule made a huge difference! Way less chairs than usual.

 

Curious to see what impact it would have on a shake release.

 

Thats a given.. as long as it isn't a pilsner or a lager.

 

Any left for today opening?

 

Called it. Super easy release. In and out in 6 minutes. Bonus that there's some really good beers on at the Cafe now (for a while everything I wanted to try was usually at the Ferm, last night it was reversed.

I could get used to this!

 

They haven't updated yet, but I'd be stunned if any of the 3 were sold out. I picked up a 4-pack of each after 9 last night, and there were stacks of everything still sitting there.

 

Feels Like it Might Be Alright? Nectarine IPA? I'm assuimg that was one of them, how was it? Might have to growler if it's good.

Yeah, the Ferm tap list right now is meh except for AC.

Just updated. 15 cases of American Youth and 50 of Bug.

 

No more Infinite left, 50 cases of Bug and 15 of American Youth.

 

False. 40 cases of Infinite.

 

Didn’t love the Feels like, but Sticky Sphere was awesome.

 

yeah sticky was great... the nectarine ipa was a miss

this has to be the first release where every can made it to the next day? granted only 1 new can but still... that was a case limit and it still made it to the next day

 

Whoops, thanks for the correction. No idea why they split it into two posts.

 

I had a glass of the Oktoberfest yesterday during lunch. That beer is excellent!

I would encourage others that enjoy drinking high quality Oktoberfest beer to order the Tired Hands Oktoberfest.

Cheers!

P.S. I also had a glass of AC as well.

 

@JackHorzempa I really wouldn't mind some cans of their Oktoberfest for the season at all... Especially if they can be found in the General Store without much fuss.

 

I wanted to try this. I have a friend who is a homebrewer, a German beer aficionado and a ardent hater of all things Tired Hands (and hazy beer in general), who begrudgingly admitted that beer, from the sound of the description of ingredients, is probably delicious.

I really enjoyed the last batch of Helles Other People cans and I do believe Jean's Germanic beer program is improving. It's cool that despite all the crazy stuff he still pursues this lane.

 

Shane, as far as I know this is a draft only product but who knows, maybe it will be canned in a week or so?

Jean has canned other of his lager beers (e.g., Trendler Pils) so maybe he will choose to can this Oktoberfest as well?

Cheers!

 

FWIW I have always thought he produced a number of high quality German beers. I think the Helles has been and continues to be top notch. I would place Trendler Pils in the "improving" category (he stopped dry hopping this beer with 'unusual' hops). He made an Altbier that I thought was excellent.

Cheers!

 

Also Prayer Group - which was a bottle release - was great.

 

On a separate but related note, yesterday for lunch I ordered the Chicken Enchiladas in mole sauce and I thought it was very good - excellent. This is the first time I have seen this item on the menu.

If anybody is a fan of mole sauce I would strongly recommend you order this item.

Cheers!

 

I had to look that one up (I am personally unfamiliar with it):

“This Springtime Wheat Lager was brewed with German Pilsner malt and a blend of both raw and malted wheat. Hopped with Hallertau Blanc & Crystal and fermented cool with Lager yeast, then cold conditioned for five weeks on just a touch of lemon juice. Lots of white grape, fresh cut grass, and a touch of mineral water in this one!”

A rather unusual sounding beer. I am uncertain whether Germans would ‘own up’ to this being a German style beer.

If I ever see this in tap I will certainly order a pint to try it out.

Cheers!
