Tired Hands (April 2016)

They will let you trade any of your growlers for theirs free of charge. The 32s are $5 fir the glass of you don't trade.

 

Why do I keep hearing of bad cans that taste like butter ?

 

Not sure about cans, but the latest batch of HopHands at the Brew Cafe was terrible I thought. Buttery, and tasted nothing like it usually does.

 

was it salty?

 

Anyone know what these cryptic messages are about on TH's Instagram? Theyve released 3 over the last 3 days with supposedly the 4th tomorrow.

 

Buttery flavor in beer is a result of having a perceptible amount of a compound called diacetyl.

Below is something I posted in the other Tired Hands thread:

There are three pathways to obtain perceptible diacetyl in beer:

· Fermentation (insufficient time in the fermenter)

· Infection

· Oxidation of alpha-acetolactate into diacetyl in the packaged beer

There are more details here: https://beersensoryscience.wordpress.com/2010/11/18/diacetyl-1/

Cheers!

 

Has anyone here had coffee Only Void before? Think it will be worth the probable wait?

 

Had coffee and cherry only void, it was good.

 

Is it blasphemous to say that I found them to be overrated...will have to give a few more visits but I have been reading so much hyped up-ness that I was underwhelmed..

 

Not blasphemous - but it is hard for places to live up to hype... I know I was underwhelmed when I finally got Pliny/ Heady etc... I would definitely give it more chances before writing them off, not every beer there is a 5 and some are way better than others. What location did you go to? What beers did you get? Just curious.

 

They were definitely good. I had been dying to visit for forever now, and reading/hearing nothing but stellar stuff. I had had Hophands at other bars previously. I went to the Fermentaria this past Friday and had Fencemender, Punge, a sip of someone's Rose, and Alien Church.

I think that I definitely would like a few more visits..when its not as crowded to try to appreciate it a little more. Again, nothing is bad, nor am I writing it off..

 

Gotcha, I have been somewhat underwhelmed by some of the IPAs lately, they are still good, but tasting similar to each other, exct Punge, secret poncho. I do think they have really stepped up their saison game though. also if you didn't get to the original brew cafe, make sure you get there. To me that place is way better than the Fermentaria

 

They were sold out of Saisonhands this night! >:[

Don't worry! I intend to!

 

They are quotes from a crazy man.

I wish they would throw Only Void in a barrel... man that would be fantastic.

 

They have done red wine barrel only void and rye whiskey only void in the past, but that was a few years ago and I sadly missed out on that release....

 

hop hands and high road (which seems to be dedicated to all the haters) tomorrow

 

I've heard Villanova is planning a parade on Lancaster Ave, hopefully not tomorrow.

 

I'm pretty sure it's going to be in Philly.

 

there's a parade in center city Friday at 1
