Tired Hands (September 2016)

Would be no different than a shake release lol.

 

Anyone know if there were any cans left around closing last night?

 

From the latest Instagram posts it sounds like people were still buying cans at close last (~1145pm) so its likely there is *some* left today, but cant be sure

 

For those who were curious..

 

Just got back to work with my 3 4packs. Probably 30-40 people waiting in front of me when I got there at 12:10pm. I'd be surprised if it wasn't sold out yet.

 

Could anyone tell me retail price of roomarak? Trying to make sure I'm not being taken advantage of in a trade

 

$25

 

Thanks man. Was it good is the next question

 

I haven't opened my bottle of Roomarak yet but I did open Rustic Pentagram this weekend and it was amazing. It's hard to choose how much of these bottles to grab when they're available tbh. I just get 1 if I get any but I'd have gotten more Rustic Pentagram if I could.

 

I shared the Roomarak with a few friends a couple of weeks ago and we all loved it. A lot of their saisons can taste a little "samey" but this was unique, and the wine flavor was definitely present in a cool way.

Anyone find it weird that despite all the hype and trading regarding Tired Hands beers there's so few reviews on Beeradvocate? (Roomarak has exactly zero, for example).

 

I thought it was great after a couple of months, but I opened one over the weekend and drainpoured most of it. It has taken on a rather overwhelming note of funk with not much else going on, not even much sourness to speak of. I'm going to sit on the last bottle for a good long while in the hopes it transitions into something better, but this one was a pretty big letdown all around, despite the brief period of time where it was really good.

I hope this isn't what all of their wild yeast beers turn into.

 

I try to do my part, but I'm only one person with limited time and money. I actually try to be a little more detailed in my reviews because of this.

 

Yeah, I've noticed this too. It doesn't help that they release so many different beers, rather than concentrating on fewer. Of course, they release some with decent frequency, but a lot of one offs.

 

I'm convinced that they use the same IPA recipe for a lot of their beers, and just rename it 25 different times.

 

I feel that they just play with the hops at least, but most seem like it is the same malt bill and yeast. It doesn't help that they also seem to love certain hops (Mosiac, Citra, Simcoe and Galaxy) which usually at least one of those hops makes it in to every beer.

 

I'm kinda in the same boat. Got my hands on a mixed case of fresh Trillium last week.. They really have their shit together up there in Boston, stuff is amazing. That being said, not sure I need the extra beer at the moment.
I really wish TH would have this stuff on tap a day or two prior so we could try and it decide for ourselves if it's worth our time and $20 a 4pack to purchase.

 

I might have to do this just to see how painless the line will be!

 

The advantage of a "meh" release!?!

Cheers!
