    Growler Filling Policy: "Please feel free to fill as many growlers as you would like. In Pennsylvania, each transaction must be limited to 192 fluid ounces. This means that upon receipt, if you would like to purchase more than 192 fluid ounces of our beer, you must leave the premises and then return to pick up additional beer (and then repeat the cycle if you’d like any more beer!).

    We will also be opening up for 64 oz growler fills on MOST ALL BEERS. There will, of course, continue to be a few beers that we will not do any growler fills of (one-off kegs, anniversary beers, etc.), but this should be a rare occurrence.

    We will continue to fill our branded glassware only, as we are STILL exceedingly proud to put our name on our Strange & Beautiful beer. If this is a very big issue for you, we will be happy to let you “trade-in” any growler for one of ours. Sound good?"

    Growler fill Prices
    64 oz:
    $20.00
    32 oz: $10.50
    Glass: $5.00

    (prices vary occasionally for higher gravity / limited quantity beers)

    The Cafe is now selling 32oz crowlers.

    Got to try Waiting For The Gloom and Grassman over the weekend. Grassman is excellent, one of their best DIPAs I've had from them recently. WFTG is well............different. It's not bad, I get a lot of grape and lemon/lime and thought it was ok, the only thing that is really odd is the color and the charcoal bits floating about. I'm reserving my final judgement on it after I have another can.

    Grassman was perfect. Loved every aspect of that beer.

    Last Trapper Pie was disappointing for me. Love Vanilla shakes though.

    Still one of my favorites, the regular vanilla. Now this will be interesting to see how long it lasts.

    I'll gladly snag a 4-pack of King Royal. Y'all can have the rest.

    Is the trend the beers still make it to Thursday? In town on business.

    All of this release should make it to Thursday without any trouble. I would say they last to Friday or Saturday.

    Good deal. I will stroll through once the crowd clears this evening.

    What? Vanilla shake? NO way. If it makes it to Thursday it will be a big thing to me. Vanilla is one of the most popular (if not the) shakes made.

    Anyone have any speculation on how long it takes to pick up at 5 now w a shake release? I know lines are a thing of the past (thankfully) but I need to be back in center City by 550 at the lastest today and I'm not sure if that's doable w check out time, etc.

    Probably late to the party but does anyone know why they don’t post case counts anymore? Pretty annoying.

    My guess is because they are not selling out quickly. It was very nice to stroll in a 9:30 get my cans, have a couple pours with no wait and no lines. Things have changed a great deal from when I first started making trips here. For the better IMO. Cheers guys!

    Total cases produced per brand is typically on their instagram post when they announce allotments:


    However, as far as updating as it goes, the position was that they are looking to find a better way to update the inventory update system to provide more reliable availability. As it stands, if the beer is listed on the http://www.tiredhands.com/cans and not "Souled Out" then it is available for purchase.

    Yeah I know, but they used to update case counts which was super helpful.

    Agree. Nothing worse than making a trip and finding out they just sold our. FWIW tons left of Vanilla and Trapper around 10 last night, decent amount of Porter left but less than the other 2.

    I am convinced the lack of counts is due to it not selling out as quickly. FOMO beer sales are.driven by scarcity or percieved scarcity. Higher remaining counts = less need to go catch em. It's no coincidence that counts stopped right after lines and minute of release demand dropped
