    That was an awesome visit. Got to try 5 beers thanks to their convenient 8 oz pours. Flavor Aroma (which I couldn't help but notice a lot of people calling it "Flav-o-rama") was my favorite, just a killer IPA. Farm Hands and Hop Hands were also excellent, though I think Goblin was my second favorite. Also had an Everything Was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt. I thought it was good, a little off-beat, probably my least favorite beer but I think that speaks volumes about how good everything else was.

    How are their sandwiches? They looked pretty good but I was taking my lady to Teresa's for her birthday so we didn't partake. The bread looked awesome.

    the sandwiches are delicious, and the bread plays a huge part. you should try one of the cheese and bread plates just to get a taste.

    also - it looks like they're selling bread to go this week on tues and wed:

    Flavoraroma and Zombie were great; let's not forget about past hoppy masterpieces like Delicado, Foliage, and Sea of Green, though! Long Way Ipa was pretty tasty too.

    Just got back from TH and tasted Westy13. Kind of a stupid name, but the beer is really nice. Not really a saison, but more like a belgian barleywine if there is such a thing with lots of caramel and vanilla sweetness. Highly recommend stopping in for a pour.

    The Slava Oner, Everything Was Beautiful And Nothing Hurt, and M.A.P. are on as well, all 3 worth trying, though I cared less for the MAP than the other two.

    I stopped in tonight to try Westy13...I thought it was great and look forward to hopefully snagging a bottle when they're released. Itll be a sublime dessert beer IMO. A growler was going to be too much for me! Thought MAP, EWBANH and FlavorAroma all tasted great. Have to say, besides the opening and the beer dinner, tonight was one of my favorite trips to Tired Hands.

    I'm headed there later today. Deciding on what to get in my growler is going to be tough.

    Westy13 was very good, but I opted to get a growler of EWBANH because if I ended up drinking an entire growler of westy on thanksgiving, I don't think I'd make it to work the next day.

    Also stopped by last night to try some of the new beers and pick up a loaf of bread for the holiday. Westy 13 was solid, very rich and boozy but really bursting with flavor, although there's no way I'd want a whole growler of that.

    Slava Oner and Flavor Aroma were my two favorites of the evening though. Goblin was also put back on when HopHands ran out - I can't remember having a porter with such a hop profile/presence before.

    I stopped in to pick up one last Growler of Flavorarmoa last night. I had a glass of Westy. It was pretty good but sort of a style I never had before. And potent and sweet.

    Im excited about drinking my flavorarmoa.

    First trip here on friday, what a great spot. Enjoyed tastes of Earthbound, EWBANT, westy and others. Took some growlers for the road. I wish it was closer but im sure ill visit a few times a year. Cheers!

    I was in here for my first time a few nights ago. Not currently living in the area but will be moving back soon, and looking forward to spending ample time there. Had HopHands, MAP, FarmHands and Westy13, and they were all quite excellent, especially the HH and W13.
