Tired Hands (August 2018)

I love Tired Hands as they are my favorite brewery but yeah, these prices are offputting. I'd much rather just go there and have them on tap whenever I'm craving their beers. Hop Hands is cool but even at $15 a four pack, I'm a little off put when I can get something like Daisy Cutter for 10 a four pack.

 

While your disappointment is obviously understood, on the bright side, Trendler Alt is a dramatically better beer than most of this sugary trash.

 

The price points are bonkers now for the Shakes / Culinary IIPAs , but I can't really blame them . Look at the massive number of ISO/FT and Mule offers on IG today. Total trade bait , so the linebros will come and pay. There were 80% less comments last week. As long as they keep the more normal DIPAs, Church, etc releases seperate from these overpriced hypebeasts, Im personally happy as it pays the bills and makes the other releases easy and quiet.

 

Yeah more from a financial and availability standpoint is where the disappointment comes in.

 

Called it, hahahahahahaha.

 

So there is less cases of the milkshake this week and yet the four packs are 3 instead of 2. Anyone else find that odd? Purely for discussion, I guess they’d rather move it quick as possible than have it sit to the night?

 

Yeah they probably want it out of there as soon as possible. Pricing, fatigue, etc will deter people from lining up imo. Plus, a milkshake IPA is not necessarily what I would personally want to drink in 95 degree weather

 

I think they mentioned they set allotments partially based on the lines. Must not be too many empty chairs today.

 

That's interesting. Didn't know that. Kind of makes sense on one hand, but I'm sure # of chair bros is dependent on allotments also so some circular logic there

 

Ah, damn how can I forget my beloved Alien Church? I will buy that beer until I die, so TH please keep the price low.

PS. Another dry hopped iteration of Hop Hands dropped today too at the GS.

 

Someone on IG said it best.. they don't want their ego's bruised again with shakes lasting next day.

 

At least as of 8:30pm last night all three are still available. 100 allotments left of the Cherry Cheesecake Shake.

 

That's as of 8:30 this morning. Plush Life almost sold out too, so $27 looks like a fine price point on that one.

 

I gotta say Tired Hands executes the brewery experience far better than any brewery I have ever been to. Being able to stroll in and pickup cans with no line was great. We had a great dinner at the fermentaria and I got to pick up swag at the general store. I also liked how you can choose the size of your pours. I might have had a better time at the tired hands money making machine than my kid had at sesame place.

 

Among hype breweries I assume?

 

Yeah- eating food, choice of half/full pours, and no-hassle buying of bottles/cans is pretty much a baseline for a normal brewery experience.

 

Right haha, that's what happens there...
Granted a year ago that's not what would have happened there...

 

And......the shakes lasted until the next day anyway. Walked in today and got a 4 pack just to try them. Got there at 1:00 or so and walked right up and got them. Hope it's good.

 

Hype worlds collide, Pizzeria Beddia Tomato pie at Tired Hands now.

 

Bah, I'm a Corropolese guy. No hype for me.
