Tired Hands (April 2018)

That's a ton of $$, too.

 

Glad to see them make that $$$

 

Sorry if I'm out of the loop, but does anyone know what these are? From their instagram story.

 

^^^^^^^^^^shaved ice syrups

 

I would assume it's kombucha, but there's little they could put out for sale that would surprise me.

 

Pretty sure it's beer (It's beer). They had a picture of clear bottles laying sideways in a storage rack a few months ago. Dig the labels and colors!

 

Had my first experience yesterday of people blatantly cutting in line. Pretty absurd that people have the audacity to that when others wait for hours.

 

Merlot, Riesling, cider

Seems more like wine than beer.

 

Were they called out? When I went a few weeks ago they had a couple employees outside monitoring the line. I think they were also marking hands for a short time as well

 

King Royal is an outstanding Baltic Porter.

 

This Gabe Fletcher beer they canned this week is incredible. Easily my favorite one off DIPA that Hands has done in quite some time. I really hope they brew this again someday.

 

Wiccan Worship Circle is a great contrast to Prayer Group but still very easy drinking and refreshing with a nice roast.
Picked up the Merlot and Riesling bottles as well, will have them this weekend. The general store is getting to be a dangerous place for my wallet.

 

Severe Head Wound is a bit disappointing for me. For all the adjuncts, I thought the flavors were pretty muted. Will re-visit in a few weeks. Anyone else try it?

 

Unfortunately they were not, I should have said something but I bit my tongue.

I guess the employees missed it. They did mark your hand with a sharpie when they checked IDs.

 

I think they used "goopy" in the description and I would agree with that assessment strongly. Super-thick mouthfeel, but the flavors are a little muted (I prefer muted raspberry as opposed to having this being overpowering, though). Feels a little one-dimensional. Good, but wouldn't put it among their best lately.

 

I thought it was pretty good. I'll probably get bashed for this, but I enjoyed it a lot more than Lush Life.

 

What are the chances of a Sunday can release this week?
