Tired Hands (November 2018)

We should also add the weekly can availability web page to the monthly thread, I don't see it in the links above.

Predictions on what shake we get this week?

Hoping its another fall themed one. That apple cider donut would have been perfect?

Jean is gonna F around and do a turkey dinner one for Thanksgiving smh

 

So trend says milkshake this week, but perhaps he throws a curve ball? We shall see.

 

The can page doesn't bother listing how many cases are left of each can any more. One assumes a Milkshake will still sell out in a day or 2, but who knows?

 

Had the pumpkin shake last night. I think it was well done. Nice balance of hops with the pumpkin spice flavor. It was good but not something I wanted more than one can of, nonetheless finish the can that I had.

Hope we get a no nonense, single fruit milkshake this week

 

Growing up in a Filipino household, fresh tamarind and tamarind candy was always around. I also love peach and other stonefruit in the milkshake IPA series. This one is a new brainer, I just hop the tartness of the tamarind doesn't overpower everything

 

I always love a little condescension in my beer announcements.

 

Never had the Jarritos Tamarind mexican soda referenced in the announcement - but I eat at Indian restaurants all the time and tamarind chutney is usually one of the chutneys served for eating papadums or other appetizers. Good stuff, good balance of sweet and earthy flavor, but I know that also has other spices in it.

They must have gotten some grumbling about the one with cardamom?

 

Or anything beyond just straight fruit, I just talked about it with one of the non shake beers where I could have done without everything past pineapple puree.

 

That shake is tempting me to make the 1 hour drive to just grab a single 4 pack.

I've been really hoping for like a Passionfruit shake or something for a while, though

 

Just for discussion sake, does the case allotment for a beer actually make that big of a difference in how long it will last? I mean obviously that is their goal but other than people who resell or just trade a crap ton, is there many people buying a case of a milkshake beer?

 

Most people buying shakes use it for trade bait. I personally can't have more than a four pack of a single shake. Lactose/vanilla IPAs just isn't something I want regularly, no matter how tasty they are.

Contemplating this shake or going for the Glitter Parts mango from levante. Decisions decisions

 

It's been psychologically proven that imposing limits on items causes shoppers to buy more than they would buy without limits. It will sell out quicker if no limits were imposed.

 

Isn't that a contradiction?

 

Not really, only if you assume everyone is buying the full limit each time.

Hypothetically --

Limit two 4 packs: "Oh, I NEED to buy both because it's harder to get and I don't want to miss my chance"

Limit six 4 packs: "Oh, it's not that hard to get and I'll have a chance to get more if I want, I'll just buy one and see how I like it first"

obviously this exaggerated but you can see how it's not contradictory.

 

Yes. It will sell quicker with limits imposed. I wrote that wrong.

But this is also probably correct for the shakes because people expect lower limits.

 

So why isn’t the can page updating the number of cases left. Does that mean boatloads are still available?
