Anyone been to a release at Tired Hands?

Probably need to get there by 10am (two hours before open). Once they open, I've found that the lines mice slowly. Bottles are usually around $15 each. They will NOT fill growlers with other breweries' logos/labels. They usually will fill store growlers (e.g., Wegmans and such).

I have gone to a few but I would get there around 8:30-9am the lines can get long.

 

I would say 3 hours to be safe. There are always late arrivers who join their friends so go a bit early to ensure you get your bottles. They prefer you don't drink in line but people will often ignore that especially in certain spots in the line.TH will frequently provide coffee or stuff like that while you wait. Growler question covered.

 

after they open you will be lucky to get a spot at the bar or a table as it will be a madhouse there this afternoon.

 

Cash only too I believe for this one which will help the line move.

 

$16 a pop, 3 bottles.

 

150+ people will get the full allotment this release. you should be ok as logn as the line is not past the post office

 

How about the other side of the question--if I wanted to get a growler fill and didn't feel like fighting the crowd, how long until it starts to thin out?

 

Will this beer be on tap at some time in the future? I don't need to wait in line if they will tap this at sometime.

 

Zee, the line for bottles is a diff line. If you get there at opening, just use the front door and walk right in. If you come later, you will then be fighting the crowd in the bottle line who want to sit at the bar, etc.

 

Last release, they said they're going to have one of their staff out there to cut down on shenanigans. Anyone notice if that worked?

The first "emptiness" beer was bottles only, so I doubt they'll put this one on tap.

 

Thanks nfo. If you read the TH Facebook, one person said the line cutting was atrocious for the last release with the two people from TH simply BS'ing with people they knew in line with lots of jumping then taking place. The couple I went to had a slew of people showing up late and meeting up with friends in line. I don't think TH really cares about the jumpers to be honest. If people can't act like decent people, why should TH have to hold their hands. Can't say I blame them. The only answer is to ticket since the people who frequent TH releases don't seem interested.

 

They will fill your outside growlers as long as you cover all logos with electrical tape.
