Tired Hands Handfarm Release 8/19

Went to the Tired Hands Only Void release (which was the last release to my knowledge). Bottle counts were extremely low (between 140 - 212 depending on variant, so 1 bottle pp). We got there at 10am - 2 hours before they started selling, and were about 80th in line. We got our allocations around 1:30pm - line moves VERY slow. Bring a chair and some sunscreen and water, is my advice, and try to get there around 10am - the releases are getting progressively more crowded. Not sure what the bottle count for this one is though.

I'm actually going to be up there on Saturday but can't make Sunday. If you don't want one of your 4 bottles though...

 

*8/18
8/19 is a Monday

Also, what is the difference between FarmHands and HandFarm?

 

Farmhands is their 4-grain Saison. It's brewed pretty frequently and is available on draft. It's one of their core beers, I believe.

HandFarm is a limited one-off beer. Not sure how this one differs from the last batch they made.

 

HandFarm is barrel aged FarmHands. It's hard to say how crowded this one will be as this is their first "rerelease" of a beer. They've gained in popularity since the first go-round though.

 

Damn. What a terrible day to have tickets to see Alice in Chains.

 

This is there 2nd time through, and I believe the 3rd batch may have been brewed and put in barrels already. Seeing how FarmHands is one of their two staples, there's not much to taking it and putting it in barrels. I would suspect this will be the closest thing they'll have to a "staple" bottle release.

 

It's FarmHands aged in white wine barrels

 

I would think not crazy crazy. As others have said, this is a repeat of a prior release. Also, the release craziness is aligned with how well the bottles trade. There have been limited posts looking for the last couple of bottles which were 1 per person so my thinking is that until the ISO's ramp up for thir bottles, the releases will get somewhat more tame. There are always those going for the first time and thinking it will be liquid gold, but I see some downturn in interest here.

 

i await my believer's club email *shakes fist*

 

This is probably my favorite barrel aged brew ive had from them.

 

I would agree that this is their best bottle so far. I do like the sound of the plum saison. The BA. 5 out of 5, I'll skip that one for sure.

 

From Facebook at 11:54 PM.

Updated HandFarm information: We will be doing 3 bottles per person. There are 540 bottles available. $12 per bottle.

 

Thanks for the new info. I can't view their updates on facebook.

Since it is an encore performance, I could see this as being a general release outside of the club.

 

I don't see why

 

I have to think the believer's club bottle privilege will end at some point. Back when it started Jean said that the membership was good only as long as you haven't exhausted your membership. I guess you could save the last dollar, but I doubt that'll fly forever.

I mean, I personally don't care since I have no skin in the game, but I'm just speculating.

 

I have no idea what the Believer's club is, but am I correct that membership isn't necessary to buy a bottle or three?

 

You are correct.

 

Wow this worked out well, I was planning on making a trip there for the last few months and chose Sunday the 18th randomly... looks like Ill be getting there a little earlier than I was planning.
