Tired Hands (September 2016)

Cafe is a totally separate system with a different head brewer actually. What is brewed at the cafe stays at the cafe. But I do wish they would really put more attention to consistency. My main concern with the expansion has been can they grow and keep up quality....

 

I didn't get any cans of MT, but that response really pissed me off. The arrogance is insane... I thought the same thing when I saw "Listen...". The tone deafness is absolutely mind numbing.

How do you fuck up and not own it, and more importantly apologize?? Sorry for the rant, but it really makes me wonder the level of reality Jean and company live in.

 

I've been on this train since February/March with HopHands. It's really disappointing.

 

I think I might have had my first experience with this diacetyl in HopHands you guys have been talking about. A local bar that I frequent has HopHands on tap in perpetuity. Been drinking it pretty consistently from there for the last year or so. Never had an issue with it until the other day I got a growler fill and it didn't taste right. Not sure if I'd call it "buttery" but it definitely didn't have that juicy smoothness that I've grown accustomed to. Had Crystal Lyght in the same sitting and thought it tasted a lot better than HopHands. That is a good session.

 

It does look completely different than an other batch, this one looks like mango juice compared the the standard hazy most Tired Hands IPAs have.

Brew cafe last week

Can opened yesterday (9/29)


The can was super hazy pouring, color diffence is not because of the glass.

 

The consistency is so weird. So I had Fuzzier Yellow on tap at Fountain Porter tonight. I had it at the Ferm a few weeks ago. When my beer was poured I thought maybe I had the wrong beer -- I could see through it! It wasn't like Bud Lite clear but it was definitely see-through. Tastewise it was the beer I remembered - maybe a bit maltier/boozier. But they assured me it was Fuzzier Yellow, which I recall as super OJ looking, soft to taste, light and peachy.

Very strange.

 

i wouldn't say consistency is ever something thats weird. you either have it or you don't.
