Tired Hands (May 2018)

Here you go.

 

Horchata Milkshake growlers at General Store. Short line for TacoHands at a half hour out -- hasn't passed the parking lot. Cheers!

 

Agree with this. I had one over the weekend and although it smells like a shake, the mouthfeel is not as creamy as normal. Good beer, but not one of the greatest shakes.

 

Vanilla beans are in shortage now and apparently cost more than silver. I wonder how this will impact the shake price creep

 

I posted something about that on one of the Tired Hands threads from a couple months ago. So far doesn't seem to have impacted Tired Hands but I know of at least one local brewery that didn't brew their vanilla bean stout this year because of it.

 

Lush life is great but I feel like they just brewed it. Fully expect this one to sit until Thursday

 

It feels like they released it on 3/28/18, but that's just me.

 

Looking forward to just strolling up tonight to grab some Church and Lush Life. Can't imagine the line for this one being any longer than 20 people.

 

yeah shouldn't be a big turnout this time around

 

Jean needs to whip up another batch of Trendler. A hoppy pilsner is all I want on a hot day like the ones we've been having

 

Prefer trendler over the helles

 

save yourself some time and money and go to your local establishment that sells beer. Pick up whetever 6/12/case of Prima or Sunshine and forget about Tired Hands and Lagers.

 

Won't work, that Prima is never fresh. And Sunshine is meh.

Half the canning run is left over today, as are ~100 cases of TacoHands. Place was deader than I've ever seen it for a can release night.

 

...or Stoudts Pils or Sly Fox Pikeland Pils. All about half the cost.

 

Still love Alien Church, might grab some more of that.....can never have enough.

 

Prima and Sunshine are both awful imo. I really enjoy Trendler Pils and don't mind the cost

I'll give Stoudts and Sly Fox a try

 

If you don't like Prima you probably won't like the Stoudts or Sly Fox. I do think Trendler is the best of the 4 but it's not all that either. A better one is South County Pullman Pilsner, but it seems like they haven't canned that in forever.

 

Awful? Taste is subjective, but that is a strong word when you are definitely in the minority. Prima Pils is the #3 weighted ranked Pilsner here on BA, a 4.02 average from 5,000+ ratings.

Sly Fox just updated their cans for Pikeland, so if you see the new design you know they are fresh.

 

hitting Tired Hands sunday, is everything at the Cafe usually available for crowlers?
