Tired Hands (October 2017)

47 and 8 and 9?

 

Yes.

 

Hard to say, I didn't look around. Maybe 15-20 on the shelf, but there might have been more out of sight because the girl at the counter said she was thinking they would last the week when I expressed surprise at the fact that they were still there.

 

Thanks!

 

Apparently folks are saying the Am I Okay cans are super green and tasting awful. I had it on tap yesterday at the Ferm and thought that while it was a bit fruit forward, it tasted great. Anyone here have a bad experience with the cans?

 

I found the first batch a bit green too, they were much better with a few weeks age on them. I still have one or two left, but they taste great. Let them sit for a bit I say.

 

I opened one each of Am I Okay and Five Leaves Left last night. Five Leaves is significantly better, but I wouldn't say Am I Okay is super green or awful. I didn't get much fruit from it though. I'm glad I only got a 4 pack.

 

Okay... 110 cases each of Am I Okay and Five Leaves today at opening, plus Pineal in the General Store. Normally I would head over around noon, but at this these price points, I'm passing. Guessing based on the leftovers, many people are making the same decision.

 

I was thinking price had something to do with the lingering Para, as well, especially combined with the heavy release schedule Tired Hands is employing. It's definitely what made me hesitate on two $22 500ml bottles (didn't they used to be like $16-$18?).

 

It'd be nice if we are at the point where if you'd like some Tired Hands cans (albeit expensive cans), you don't have to stand in a long line. Of course, the exception would be milkshake/OV/collab releases.

 

Para 5 was $18 bottle back in 2015. The $22 may be in line with the rest of the inflation that has occurred there over the last year.

Technically you haven't had to stand in line for a non-milkshake release for several months. Now it seems we are at the point when you can go at your convenience to get them.

 

Speaking of OV is there any word of another OV day coming soon?

 

While not OV I think I might pull the trigger on that all Hallows eve dinner this year.

 

I assume for $140 you get a take home Magnum.

 

I assume that as well.

 

Anyone know if there is any left?

 

Just called...sounds like they still have a good amount of both. Is Am I Okay any good?

 

If its anything like Are you OK? it probably will take a week or two to really shine... Found that to be totally different a few weeks later than it was on the day of release on tap at the Ferm.

 

Thank you for the reply. I am 45 minutes from Ardmore so just wondering if it is worth the trip. They said they have 2/3 of a pallet of that one still.
