Tired Hands (May 2018)

Predictions:

Shake makes it to the bar.
Technicolor makes it to Thursday.
Pineal makes it to the General Store.

 

That's what I'm predicting too. Great for me, wont be able to get there until 6-7pm. Hopefully I can get shakes by then. Especially with the rain, I do not want to stand in line outside

 

Not that I remember, pretty sure it's a first. That being said, I'll pass. Not an apricot or chamomile fan.

 

I could also see this being a case where Technicolor gets a really small yield and so doesn't last as long as I'm thinking. Gotta think if they're doing a 7 can release in a couple weeks we might start seeing a drop-off in yields in the coming weeks as they prepare for that.

 

If they do 2 four packs per person with 300+ cases for the shake, I'll make the trip. Pretty much a guarantee they last until at least 730-8 with those allocations

 

Yeah I went, wrote about it a couple of times, I'll try and look them up. Had a great time, lots of great beer on tap but just heads up it's different going to a show where every beer is at least 6% or so.

 

Keep in mind it is more of a show that features a bunch of Tired Hands beers and a few guest taps from some far off breweries like Holy Mountain, Monkish, Half Acre. So you will have people there just to see the bands and people just there for the beer. The beers are spread between 4 different bars, some of the bar areas are more crowded than others, if you start a tab at one of them, you can put beers on it at any of the bars, but need to go back to the original to get your card back.

 

Cool. I'm taking my friend who doesn't really drink much with me so she'll likely drive. However, PATCO and Uber will get me home safely regardless. We'll see what the vibe is - maybe I'll leave early and go to one at the brewery instead for beers.

 

Realistically speaking, what's the latest I can get there to have a pretty good shot at the shakes and Technicolor? The last shake to get 3 per person was the Peach Double. What time did that sell out?

 

To be absolutely safe I would get there by 5. A little surprised they went with 3 four packs instead of 2 with "only" 335 cases of the shake.

 

Yeah, I would have gone if it was 2, but don't want a shiteshow

 

Yeah with the decreased number of allotments, I passed this week. Would have gotten there at 6:30 and didn't wanna run the risk of empty handed.

Oh well, more money saved for the anniversary

 

Exactly my thinking.. with a 7 can release and bottles galore you better take a loan out.

 

Yeah, the steady rain mixed with the fact that there were 3 cans made that line slow as hell. I had the shake both on tap and from the can. From tap, the flavors, particularly the apricot, tasted a bit muted to me. From the can, it was much more in your face and sweet.

 

Nope.
Nope.
Almost assuredly a nope.

 

FWIW, Pineal is at the General Store...

 

I'll be visiting some friends in the area on Saturday, and we plan on hitting up TH for some pours. Is there any chance of cans either being available or dropping (I know they don't usually do drops on Sat)? Whether they are at the GS or fermentaria?

 

There will be cans of hop hands and may be cans of Pineal remaining, both at the General Store. Crowlers available at the Brewcafe, and Growlers available at the Ferm. Any release of cans this weekend would be an unlikely surprise.

 

Pineal made the General Store!

Do we know for sure the Shake didn't make it to the bar? Either way, 1 out of 3 ain't bad. And that was before yields were announced. I would have changed my predictions if I knew what they were.
