    Although it does contain some very good tidbits of information the "Tired Hands to Can" thread is a bit overwhelming - especially for those people who have never been to the brewery before. So I thought that I would create this one in order to streamline information for all things Tired Hands in the month of May.

    Useful Links:

    * Tired Hands on instagram (can releases usually take place on Wednesday/Thursday afternoon)
    * Tired Hands brew cafe
    * Tired Hands fermentaria

    Hours of Operation: Tired Hands Brew Cafe is closed on Mondays and the Fermentaria is closed on Tuesdays

    Growler Filling Policy: "Please feel free to fill as many growlers as you would like. In Pennsylvania, each transaction must be limited to 192 fluid ounces. This means that upon receipt, if you would like to purchase more than 192 fluid ounces of our beer, you must leave the premises and then return to pick up additional beer (and then repeat the cycle if you’d like any more beer!).

    We will also be opening up for 64 oz growler fills on MOST ALL BEERS. There will, of course, continue to be a few beers that we will not do any growler fills of (one-off kegs, anniversary beers, etc.), but this should be a rare occurrence.

    We will continue to fill our branded glassware only, as we are STILL exceedingly proud to put our name on our Strange & Beautiful beer. If this is a very big issue for you, we will be happy to let you “trade-in” any growler for one of ours. Sound good?"

    " tomorrow at 5:00 we will be releasing Dystopian Forest, but it's Okay AND Calamansi Milkshake! Dystopian Forest, but it's Okay is our foraged IPA brewed with our great friends from @jesterkingbrewery. Brewed with wheat and oats. Spiced with PA spruce tips, lilac, spicebush and Texas False Pennyroyal. Palindromically hopped with Mosaic, Citra, and Amarillo. Calamansi Milkshake IPA is our latest iteration of our milkshake IPA series dreamt up with our comrades over at @omnipollo. Calamansi is a strange citrus fruit that exists somewhere between yuzu and kumquats in flavor... It's a very beautiful addition to our already drippy juicy Milkshake IPA. Allotments will be announced ASAP tomorrow. See you soon!"

    I think it will be a benefit that there's only 1 variation of shake so the base isn't split between two flavors but yeah it should be big.

    That's kind of a bummer. Was hoping to make my first can release but I don't really get the milkshake hype, especially considering I'd probably have to get there by 3pm to get some. The other one sounds interesting though.

    I am more interested in the jester king collaboration than the milkshake...

    Calamansi is good stuff. I'll definitely be trying to get cans of both of these.

    I didn't realize that was one they'd done before. Not sure if that's good or bad as far as crowd goes.

    I absolutely loved the calamansi milkshake. To me, it tasty like a hoppy orange creamsicle.

    They've had it at the brew cafe in the past but this is the first time for it being canned I believe. This is a really good shake .

    Anyone know anything about bottles? Cans are always a no go for me as I don't really love close enough to make those released, but I joined the club to get access to bottles. I can't seem to remember the last bottle release, but I know it's been a while.

    Other than Ourison and Shambolic, the last bottle release was Para 47 in mid-February.

    3/18 they sent an email in regards to the Believers only bottle for I guess year 1?

    "The beer is currently bottle conditioning, which means we could be a month or more from it's availability. This was a one-off that we brewed just for YOU. It will never be brewed again and will not be made available to anyone except THBCBC members"

    so they were obviously more then a month from it's availability.. coming up on 3 months since the email went out. Also no other bottles since then. They certainly have some OV in either bottles or barrels still since they put the OV in over a year ago now.

    I believe any Tier 1 believers have no more access to reserve bottles as the 1 year point since Para4 has lapsed.. think that was 5/17/15... kind of sucks for Tier1 there wasn't another release from February through May to at least get one more bottle without having to have to stand in line.
