Tired Hands (June 2017)

[QUOTE="jojo2112, post: 5484271, member: 868419]...but I really don't get the psychology of it with HopHands. It's a really good beer, but I'll take a South County Cosmic Nod over it any day, and I can buy that at my local distributor any time I want.[/QUOTE]

Here to do two things:
1. Undo my TH thread virginity (long time reader, first(?) time poster)
2. Echo the comments on Cosmic Nod. Great beer and at 11.49/4 pack.... well, yes.

 

Anybody have an update on the line? Getting ready to head that way.

 

Im going to say its probably closer than you think. Look at Alchemist.. every other post ISO:FT used to be Heady/Focal.. now they produce so much of it nobody bats an eye.. same thing will soon happen for TreeHouse after their new building is up and running.. It soon will happen with Tired Hands with all these new buildings they continue to buy for expansion purposes..

 

eventually you are no longer the latest and greatest and move into a model of more quantity smaller margin... etc... bring in a distrib to spread the suds etc etc... I think TH is actually on the pulse a bit however and may actually hit a point where they find a groove.. i think it was a bit back but there was a insta post about trying to figure out how to become smaller... also with the recent notice on insta about a focus back to saison... this could be starting to occur... i know they bought some new tanks to occupy space the was probably being eaten by other stuff that now moves to the general store or dispensary but I think they may just be happy with the two locations and the store.. it's kind of an end game type scenario... but who knows... things can always change but to stay a hypeboi they may need to keep the status qou of specialized can releases once a week and keep qty down to the point people still line up so they can continue the high price point per unit

it's an interesting case study for a brewery for sure... one that i'd imagine a lot of startups have focused on or if they haven't should because it's been impressively successful.. if TH had stock.. i'd buy some!

 

As of 20 min ago line was to the end of the ferm lot. Plenty left.

3. Use the quote (and insert quotes) or reply buttons so your post (quote) won't look like the above

 

Yes I agree with the supply for sure. It's like once a beer is always accessible it is no longer water anymore, kind of bizarre but so true. Hopefully that is what happens with hop hands but you never know anyone coming to a release is gonna go to the shop and get HH I feel like. Great discussions right now in this thread. Cheers.

 

Got there around 7 and they were out of Go Ride a Bike. Oh well. There was a bunch of Alien Church. General Store was stocked up with Hop Hands. Thanks for the advice fellas

 

If ever obtain some facts here vs. "guess" I would greaty appreciate hearing about it.

If I ever obtain some facts I will share them with you in kind.

Cheers!

 

I actually got the exact opposite impression from that Instagram post. In that post they boast that the Dispensary adds to their overall volume capacity and then at the very end makes (what I took) an insinuation that they may start distributing. They stated bottles will show up at the General Store "and perhaps even beyond..."

Cheers!

 

I think the "and beyond" referred to beyond the August/September timeline that they mentioned.

 

The bubble will burst eventually, but I wouldn't say any time soon. The advantage a brewery like Tired Hands has over most of the others (including Tree House) is how many new brews they put out seemingly on an almost daily basis.

 

All I know is I love most of their beers, and a few like Alien Church are the best beers I've ever had. PS. I'm still a huge fan of Hop Hands too and the thought of being able to walk into the dispensary and get it anytime exicites me truly.

And why Go Ride a Bike sold out before AC is baffling to me. AC is the best non-milkshake beer they make, amazing. I've never had GRAB but it can't even get close to AC.

 

There were 80 less cases of Go Ride A Bike.

 

And its a beer that hasn't been canned yet.. #MaxTradeValue

 

Go Ride is very average in my opinion. Had a tester of it at the Ferm a couple of weeks ago and was really surprised they canned it. Having said that I have also been unimpressed with Refreshing and New Horizons of late. I would gladly accept another canning of Brain Teaser although I find that unlikely so soon.

 

Lazy mobile posting is not a good excuse. Lap taken.

Edit: Although, do we need two /Quotes?

 

Any cans left from yesterday? Flying in today, should be at the brewery about 4-5

 

nope all out. general store should have hophands, and a selection of 5-7 different bottles. also they are still doing select growler fills on anniversary beers which is a great opportunity to grab some stuff to go that you won't likely see again in the near future.

 

They replenished the HopHands already?
