Tired Hands (2020)

I've had Tired Hands's Helles, Alt, and Schwarzbier. They are pretty good, but at $15 a 4 pack they doesn't make much sense as they are not appreciably better than what is available from the old school regional breweries at much lower cost to consumers even after going through the three tier distribution system.

I just picked up a 4 pack (16 oz cans) of the Stoudts/Sly Fox collaboration Black Lager for about $10 at my local beer distributor. Sly Fox Helles is about $10 for 6 pack of 12 oz cans. Troegenator is like $12 for a 6 pack. And all of these beers are cheaper yet by the 12 pack or case, but Tired Hands doesn't give any discount for case purchases.

 

Agree. Saison Hands, Ourison, whatever. Just can the damn beer please, we need it.

 

FYI - Forest & Main at least occasionally releases can conditioned saisons. I recently picked up a pack of their "Winter's Friend" black saison.

 

You hit the nail on the head @jmdrpi I do go and buy their lagers when they have a couple in stock, just bought half a case of pils and schwarz. I like supporting these places when they brew them but money wise it doesn't make sense for me to do all the time. Just bought half a case of tonewood schwarzbier too, 11$ a four pack. I know I'm sure this is due to rent in ardmore vs oaklyn NJ but that is a huge difference in price.

 

More schwarzbier for the rest of us!

 

Had the Frequency Illusion - Gewürztraminer at Pizza Boy on Saturday. It was excellent. That and a pint of Saisonhands. Both very flavorful, both light and crisp. And best of all, I didn't feel overly full after having a couple AND I felt fine the next morning

 

Anybody have the Crawling Out Of Hell yet? Has Rye Whiskey Barrell Aged Coffee (which is excellent). Wonder how much Crowlers are?

 

$16.50 for crowlers, and it’s excellent. Picked one up there on Thurs after trying it on draft. Assuming they will crowler the rest for the general store with the Cafe closing down as of tonight.

 

Some cool things I'm seeing from how Tired Hands is handling this coronavirus situation

1) Two dudes were fighting in the comments on IG about a potential line for Sunday. Tired Hands proceeded to basically tell them to stop fighting, take the blame for not being clear enough, and just show positivity all around

2) Free shipping on Dudley.

Say what you want about their prices, lines, etc etc etc. But Jean and the crew seem like legitimately good dudes that are all about spreading love and uplifting people. I will continue and always support them

 

How does Dudley direct work? I'm trying to buy one four pack but it says I have an invalid quantity. Do I have to buy a minimum of four 4packs?

 

All orders must be made in quantities of FOUR 4 packs. (So 16 cans, 32 cans, etc)

 

Cans are sold out. FYI

 

Just checked for delivery. Wanted to grab some. Maybe next time!

 

They just put on a new imperial stout, that sounds pretty great

 

Went to order cans for delivery. Really expensive for some of those 4 packs. IIRC, a couple were like $26. And the free shipping didn't apply to me. No thank you.

 

Looks like free shipping is for certain customers. Surprised you didn’t get free shipping. I got it in Harrisburg

 

Saw they have bottles available for delivery...is there a minimum?

 

Nope

 

I agree. Its now $28.00 per 4-pack for Memory Care. This is very unattractive price point in my opinion. I am a huge fan of THBC and want to see them succeed. My favorite brewery over all the others i have been blessed to try. However, why doesnt THBC focus on beer with more favorable price points (under $20 per 4-pack)? We are in uncertain times at the moment and this strategy of cranking out high abv beer at price points $22 per 4-pack and up does not make sense to me. Crank out session style milkshake ipas and/or change the pace; get into the lager game!
