Tired Hands (August 2018)

I really enjoyed the Rustic Pentagram when I was down last month(ish).

 

CSA Week 1: Fuzzy Green
CSA Week 2: Pineal
CSA Week 3: D2H3: Motueka
CSA Week 4: Raspberry Green Tea Milkshake
CSA Week 5: Trendler Pilsner
CSA Week 6: High Road
CSA Week 7: Feliz Vendedor

 

Uh...

 

From the above post by @makalarch:

"$26.50/four pack".

Two comments:

• To the best of my knowledge/recollection this is the first 4-pack that exceeded the $26.00 mark
• This is the first time Tired Hands increased their price in the cents (50 cents) realm vs. whole dollars

Cheers!

 

didn't these guys used to make beer? Space Food Cotton Candy Space Cookie Pina Colada? Five Nut IPA? what the fuck.

 

This is exactly what I thought and was going to comment. We need a new category for beer these days. It’s like some are more like alcoholic sweet beverages than beer. I know innovation...and I think it’s cool to push boundaries but when does it not become beer? Good discussion stuff.

 

I mean its a collab with Omnipollo, who is allergic to making beers with just malted barely, water, yeast and hops. Honestly the whole cotton candy thing is a really stupid gimmick, its just sugar, it will mostly ferment out.

 

It’s a five nut American blond ale... totally different

 

Then they'll release a lager and people will go, "why are they releasing a lager? what the fuck?"

They still do Alien Church every 2-3 weeks and HopHands all the time, if that's your thing. This release even has Technicolor Splendor if you're not into all the adjuncts. And, you know, 2 whole taplists of various things.

 

Yeah but I don't care if they brew beer I do like, I only want to complain about beer I'm not going to buy and how much it costs.

 

Lol to all of this, ok so a fifty fifty split this week, two of my favorites in the vanilla and technicolor and then the other two that I wish we could buy by the single can to you know actually try product before spending 26.50.

 

Im in the same boat. Haven’t been in a while and single vanilla is my favorite. I’m hoping maybe it won’t be as bad as IG thinks. Wishful thinking that I can swing by late for just vanilla? Time will tell I guess.

 

Chances are I'm going to try and swing by around 830 but I think today is going to be ridiculous. Last hurrah for teachers, nice weather for the chairs, trade boards going crazy.

 

As of 9:39 there is no one in line.

 

So the more I think about it the more the Space Food Cream Team Double Pina Colada Shake for the Masses doesn't sound bad at all?
Cotton candy:
4 cups of sugar
1 cup of corn syrup
1 cup of water
¼ teaspoon of salt
1 tablespoon of raspberry extract (can use other extracts, such as almond, orange, or vanilla)
2 drops of pink food coloring

So pretty much take that out as it's mostly fermentable sugar with some maybe additional flavor from an extract you are left with a pineapple, coconut, lemon shake which sounds nice right now. What doesn't sound nice is still the price though.

 

I know this is Beeradvocate not Wineadvocate, but I keep thinking about the price people are gonna pay for the full allotment of this and I just wanna say look, I know you're into beer not wine, but if you switched that budget to wine you could be drinking some of the rarest, most baller-status wines in the world. And you won't have to stand in line to do it!

 

Almost $100 for 1x 4 pack of each beer today.
I think everything will sell out today aside from the Five Nut Blonde Ale.

 

Oh for fuck's sake, Tired Hands.

 

I think I just had my moment of clarity realizing I was talking about cotton candy ingredients for a beer...

 

I keep trying to tell myself this but substitute wine for Bourbon. The cost of cans, or in my case bottles of stouts in Florida, adds up very quickly.
