Tired Hands (November 2016)

I guess one man's trub is another man's "haze".

 

What are they releasing this week? Is it at the fermentation or brewpub? I have off and may be able to go

 

Almost always on Wednesday, cans are at the fermentaria.

 

I still have a Watermelon, so I'll crack that one and see how it is. That's over 2 months old, but each time I've had one over the past month they have still been great.

 

probably a monkish and or half acre collab can this week.. don't think it's another HF collab, i think people are just taking the fact that the design is similar to the HF collab can to speculate it could be another HF collab can.. i speculate the design is just being used as it's a different TH/xx collab can.. monkish was there not long ago and i believe half acre was as well.. maybe some other brewers/breweries have been there recently?

 

They tagged Hill Farmstead in the instagram post with the art, so it'd be pretty surprising if they weren't involved

 

3 collaboration cans tomorrow. "No chairs at all" would've been better but at least they are responding. How quickly did the HF collab sell out last time? I was away and missed that release but will try going tomorrow at 5:30 like normal and hope they brewed a lot and kept allotments low.

 

Assuming they keep allotments reasonable, it should last maybe 2 hours. There is going to be so many people though.

 

"before noon"? Man.. how early has people been staking out their spots every week?

 

Good to see Jean's narcissism continues to grow by putting a picture of himself on the label, with a college girl "lets act natural" pose.

 

I have heard of people dropping chairs at like 8 am

 

I'm out, I hope one or some of them are on tap in the next couple days, will fill a growler but nope, I'm out. Have fun everyone!

 

They said at the last Milkshake release that chairs were out around 7am.

 

So, basically it is now an affirmed acceptable practice to place a chair as a line holder starting at noon, regardless of whether or not there is an actual person anywhere near that chair (or the Fermenteria, for that matter)?

 

The Fermentaria actually opens at Noon on Wednesday. Assuming that you are inside the Fermentaria drinking and/or eating, that's cool in my book. Before that, there is no justification for your chair in line. Even the Brew Cafe doesn't open until 4pm. If Tired Hands wanted to make it official, they could give out something to put on your chair, so people would know that you are ahead of them and actually inside spending money (not elsewhere like an asshole).

 

It's not a good setup for people that can't base their whole day on chasing beer cans, that's for sure. Unless they really increase production we are going to end up with a situation where you need to go to the brewery at noon to put a chair down then at 5 to start moving. Forget that.

It's bizarre that people on instagram think these chairs represent people inside sitting at the bar. Some of the chairs do but that's being pretty generous or maybe fully naive.

 

The whole damn insta post is filled with ISO/FT. These wanna be "beer futures" traders need to relax so people who want to actually drink the beer can get some. I hope someone takes a pic of the line of people waiting in line to put their chairs in line at noon.

 

The chairs are annoying for sure but it's not like the entirety of the line is made of empty chairs. For big releases there's probably 100 at most with a lot of those people being inside. Its just spread out a lot.

 

My buddy calls their beers "Tired Pants" for this exact reason.

 

So it sounds like this is a different version of copy/paste? The label is slightly different and Crystal, & Galaxy were replaced by Mosaic & Centennial. I really wish they would change the name when they do that (even if it is just putting some kind of version reference on it).
