    I can't afford a Tired Hands bender. It's normally one or two, then move onto cheaper beer like SN or Sly Fox etc.

    Do this. As said above Hop Hands is solid but nothing special. Check what’s available and get a growler or two instead/in addition.

    HopHands is SPECIAL...lets not get crazy here. A 4 pack of HopHands is a great deal compared to a few growlers and is much more shelf stable.

    That may be true, but the beer itself isn't special. There are options just as good or better at a similar price point.

    SaisonHands is special. HopHands is par for the course. Lotsa folks got that juice nowadays.

    Good call on SaisonHands, pick up a bottle of ourison so that it is easier to transport

    Don’t get me wrong, I like Hop Hands, and cans are definitely easier to transport. However, there are plenty of other beers out there at least as good, and many better. Also, if you’re looking for something uniquely Tired Hands, this beer isn’t really it.

    Highly recommend the bottles they usually have in stock if you like funky and sour beers. They’re expensive but I’ve been really impressed by stuff like Hysterical Obelisk.

    The fact that HopHands is mentioned before their barrel-aged saisons is a shame. I know most taste-buds nowadays gravitate towards the hazy hops, but their bottled offerings are fantastic. Opened up a Singing Swans this weekend, was definitely not disappointed.

    Was Ourison always $15? Prayer Group is now $11 at the General Store, I thought it was $10 when first released.

    Wow BA decided not to notify me of all of the updates to this thread and reading it backwards to get all the way to the definition of "tired hands" was a treat. Yes Prayer Group was 10, sorry I spoke too highly of it and now it's 11.

    I still have not grabbed a bottle of Prayer Group, I keep forgetting. I did get a bottle last night of Peaceful Invasive, can’t eait to try that. And yes, Ourison is still a huge fav of mine.

    Keith, permit me to encourage you to do so. I very much enjoyed drinking my bottle of Prayer Group.

    You also might want to add drinking this beer in draft as well. I was speaking to Jean last week and he made mention that the Brett aspect is notable on the draft product but not in the bottled version. I did not pick up any Brett character in my bottle of Prayer Group.

    Cheers!

    I noticed it some between batch 1 and 2, I think I had just had the last of my batch 1.

    It’s $10. At least that’s what the sign said today at the general store. I bought one (along with a mixed case of cans) but didn’t get a receipt.
