Tired Hands (August 2017)

Does it? Man I need to dig into some old stock then, can't honestly say the last time they hung around in my fridge anyways.

 

A week of two is old? WTF? Granted I haven't had Tired Hands but I would bet if it's anything like Alchemist, Treehouse, Trillium, 2 weeks after canning is as good as it's gonna taste. All those beers get better with a little time and if you ask the brewers they would all tell you the same thing.

 

Ok. I just have had HopHands that has been in the fridge for a few weeks and the taste kinda died off. Maybe I had a bad batch.

 

Unfortunately that is a distinct possibility.

Cheers!

 

Any cans left at opening today?

 

Looking at Insta comments, Daydreaming sold out around 10 last night, Copy and Paste was down to 4 cases at that time, so presumably it's gone now too.

 

You gotta swirl if it's been sitting a few weeks. Get that haze back up in suspension, that's where the flavor is.

 

Forget swirl...shake the crap out of it.

 

Cans from last night gone, but they still had a decent amount of Go Ride a Bike.........which is excellent by the way. I grabbed some of that at the General Store, but they had it at the Ferm too. Got some Sticky Drippy Crystals and another bottle of Exactly Almost.

I personally am loving the General Store..........

 

exactly.. i shake them till they fell like they'll pop.. open the top realllllll slow.. hiiiiiiis like the nitrous section of a phish lot..... then pour half... then swirl.... full suspension

 

But it's delicate! Says so on the can! You're gonna kill the Strange and Beautiful, man!!!

 

Interesting that they are offering tasting of Prima Pils - why alert their customers to a similar beer that they can buy for half the cost of Trendler? Are they trying to just turn their customers onto lagers in general?

 

They probably just like it; it's a great beer and hugely important to the PA craft beer scene

 

Chances are if you're familiar with Tired Hands, you've probably heard of Prima Pils.

Also, can't it just be that they're doing something cool for their customers?

 

The other likely reason is that Jean loves pilsners, especially PP which was his first pilsner. I am so glad he makes Trendler Pils as well as his delicious German-style Helles and Schwarzbier. Obviously, his other offerings are off-the-chart delicious as well.

 

Maybe, but it seems a good portion of newer craft beer drinkers, and those who are into the hyped beer trading scene, seem to think "shelf beers" are unworthy of their attention. Hopefully tasting a beer like Prima Pils will open some eyes.

 

IMO, for what's worth, the single varietal hop Victory pilsner known as the Braumeister Pils, is still my all time favorite American-made German style Pils, especially a slow pour version!

 

Yup, I've seen Victory beer on tap at the General Store in the past too. Most of the time when I've been there it is non-Tired Hands beers on tap.
