    It's interesting that most of those are their more aggressive offerings. I think their true talent lies in the more balanced and delicate beers, but that list is pretty much all hoppy.

    I was in Ardmore last week and stopped by Tired Hands for the first time and I totally agree with you. Tired Hands is taking brewing in a new direction.

    Just had HopHands this past weekend. Very clean grain bill, super easy drinking. Lovely hop flavor & aroma. About to tear into a growler of The Light...

    All the beer I've had was fantastic and I had with high expectations which really says something about the quality they have.

    They just need to open early on saturday and possibly a weekday. I want to drive out before it gets dark and before the afternoon rush hour starts.

    Not a fan of the hours either. My only issue I have with them is their growlers. Got one filled on a Friday night. Went to drink it Saturday afternoon and it had already lost a lot of it's carbonation. Excellent beers though.

    I've noticed this as well. Have opened a number of growlers and all have lost a lot of carbonation.

    Have you asked for them to CO2 purge before filling?

    Their Growler business seems to be a large part of their sales yet they suck and only last 1 day and even then the beer is degraded a lot.

    They should really work to get that in order because I have all but stopped getting growlers from them unless I plan to drink them that night. I dont like spending 20 bucks on 5 beers and them being flat the next evening.
