Tired Hands (August 2016)

2 week old growler????? Yikes.

D2H3 Galaxy is pretty good. Not sure it improves on HopHands but it's probably about equal to it. Maybe slightly more bitter than HopHands. Actually had a D2H3 Galaxy and RAR Wood'R back to back (which are similar ABV) and thought the Wood'R was the superior beer.

 

Jean would give you a severe tongue lashing for your cruel treatment to his unusual beers.

 

The saison-y bottles all seem to be very close in flavor, I've noticed, but I've only had a few. Still, I commend them for having their own kind of homegrown funk and not a store-bought generic "Belgian" flavor.

 

I'm going to guess the lines will be short for this one. Trendler didn't sell quickly the last time they canned it, and they just released TS a few weeks ago.

 

What time do they stop the main sale and move them behind the bar usually?

 

Usually around 7ish.

 

If you get them from the bar they max you can get is 3 - 4 packs. But I think they let you go out and come back in

 

Darn see that's the problem. I work till 630 I'd never get there before 7.

 

You can still purchase cans after 7 just 12 at a time, but as mentioned you may be able to go out and then come back in to purchase more cans.

 

The 3 - 4 pack rule is state law, not a TH thing

 

What are the chances these cans will make it to Thursday? I'd plan on getting to the fermentaria right when they open.

 

I think very good chance, I'd be shocked if trendier didn't but I bet both do. Seems like things have really slowed down, thank god the hype is dying a little, sans milkshakes.

 

I understand that, but selling out the garage door there is no state limit yet TH limits it. I wasn't sure if they allowed people to loop or put a self-imposed limit on how many cans they would sell to a single individual.

 

I wouldn't say that. I think people are waiting for consistency issues to be resolved, Pilsners to be a things of the past, and every release to have fruit in it.

 

And don't forget that this is the month of August which is a popular vacation month.

I am guessing that we will see more robust lines once August is over.

Cheers!

 

the only time i was there I saw a lot of people walking out with full cases of 16 ounce cans. Not sure if the got back in line or just walked away with them.
