The Tired Hands Thread

[drgarage1]

ODB screaming into an MTV camera. "THIS IS FREE BEER! WHY WOUJD YOU NOT DO THIS?

THE EMPTINESS IS FOR THE CHILDREN!

 

[DigDug1810]

Can't kee up 18 was wonderful! Wish I could have gotten a growler.

 

[Hayden McCall]

Small showing today. Nowhere near the 200+ people the bottle limit supported. Multiple trips through the line were definitely available.

 

[Max]

LOL @ 25 people in line at 7:30. LMFAO @ I'm one of them. Wurst.

EDIT: "Wurst" just autocorrected to "WuTang". I don't post nearly often enough from my phone.

how is it i never run into you when we're both there at the same time? i am confuse

EDIT: that means you were pretty close to hayden, no?

Yeop. Hayden and his 14-pound Wagyu brisket. Him talking the security guy's ear off kind of cockblocked me from enjoying more "coffee".

 

[ilovestouts]

I'm going to be in Trevose for work for a majority of February, if anyone wants to meet up at Tired Hands on a weeknight, shoot me a PM. Can bring bottles and immature humor.

 

[owlsfan]

what time are people going to line up on sunday?

 

[ForkAndSpoonOperator]

what time are people going to line up on sunday?

Less than a dozen people in line now. Have tent and beer, bring propane and food.

 

[DigDug1810]

Won't be shocked to see 200 by 9:45

 

[Hayden McCall]

Front of the line around 5 A.M. Things generally pick up in earnest around 7:30-8. As far as the point of being shut out is concerned, I've seen the last few releases permit people to go through the line again, and those releases have served a similar number of people given the bottle count and bottle limits.

Won't be shocked to see 200 by 9:45

Me neither

 

[jakeox]

You guys are doing it wrong. I already have the beer. Time travel, yo.

(Uh, if anyone wanted to send me one don't let this stop you though.)

 

[Shakedwnst]

Whoa, they are future rustic...

 

[Hayden McCall]

Anyone up for an IP trade tomorrow? I'm going to be bringing a bunch of stuff. DeGarde, Cigar City, Schramm's, Funky Buddha, a 3 year FW Anniversary vertical... Have a ton of Hill Farmstead glassware too if anyone's looking to scratch that itch. I have their standard stemware in sets of four in 3 different patters (white and black print, and silver etched). I have a set of four willibechers as well. Shoot me a message if you're interested in such stuff. Looking to snag a couple extra bottles of tomorrow's release to take care of my regular trading partners/trustees.

 

[Jonada]

Beer is stupid

In case you can't tell, that's from around the second corner and behind the post office.

 

[Shakedwnst]

How many people would you guess are there already?

 

[Beerontwowheels]

More than 250 from what I'm hearing. People will get shut out easy.

 

[Shakedwnst]

Seemed like it from that pic...

 

[axeman91821]

Yup, definitely happy I'm home, in my pajamas, on my couch.

 

[drgarage1]

Was this Parageusia?

 

[Beerontwowheels]

Was this Parageusia?

Yeah, #3.

 

[Max]

showed up at 10 and stood there for a couple minutes and left. the line was past the mail trucks and around the corner behind the post office. i was basically standing in the ihop parking lot.

as long as i've been there before 10:30, i've never been shut out of a release. today was bonkers.

 

[Max]

and my buddy just texted me that the growler line is out the door and down to the optometrist.

can. not. wait. until the believer's club starts.

 

[Max]

oh yeah, meant to mention that if anyone has an extra bottle, i'd gladly take it off your hands.

People had to wait in that line in crap weather. Waiting for the FT: Para3 ISO: late-model car.

 

[reaper16]

I'm the dude in the green jacket in that pic. I was, of course, shut out.

They weren't expecting the biggest bottle release turnout they've ever had, that's for certain. My argument is that Jean needed to call an audible and change the allocation to 2 bottles per person, or at least compromise and give 3 bottles to the first 100-150 people and make it 2 per after that. The people that were shut out today were largely locals -- aka the people who sustain the business week in and week out. So many mules and out-of-state trade group peeps.

I can't be too mad that I got shut out -- I don't feel entitled to any beer release -- but it's crazy that I showed up at 9am and was already 50-60 people past the eventual cutoff point. I showed up at 9am for Handfarm a few weeks ago and was like 68th in line. Today I was about 270th or so. 200 more people were in line at 9am than with the last release. Nuts.

 

[PepeSylvia1]

Wow... Got in the car at 7:15am drove 15 min and turned around decided to take my son sleigh riding instead of waiting for beer. I would have arrived at 9:00 and would have wasted my day. I feel much better now.

 

[GoozySosa]

I slept til 12 then got high and laughed at my stupid friends that were saying I'd regret not going when they got shut out.

I don't know who "they" are...but I certainly expected this to be the biggest turnout yet. The first two Parageusia's have been oft spoken of as their best bottles thus far. With a nice 3 bottle limit, this was going to draw all the flies. This is pure speculation, but I have to imagine at some point, lowering the bottle count just puts more people in play. Nearly 100 more. That puts the line where, inside of IHOP?

We got our bottles and went upstairs for a quick drink or two. We were by the window and the line was out of sight up until we left. However, to my surprise, when we left, we found the line wasn't for bottles, but just to get in the door. The place was at capacity and there were 30 or so people in a queue just to get in the place for anything whatsoever. I can't imagine another 100 people in line would have helped that any.

As for those that are Believer's...yeah...I'm sure they can't wait to not have to deal with weather and lines like today. It was cold and the sidewalks and streets were in absolute **** condition.

As for showing up at 9 and getting shut out...I'll bet the cutoff point occurred around 7:15. I showed up about 15 minutes later than typical and the line was already around to the front door of Tired Hands.

I think what happens is that people get shut out and make it a point of arriving earlier, and as such, it makes the normal arrival time of everyone else insufficient to maintain roughly the same place in line they're used to filling in.

Sorry you got shut out.

I got there at 8:45 and was 6 away from the door so the cut off point didn't occur anywhere near 7:15.

That was a typo. Meant to say 8:15. Even then...if you got there at 8:45 and were only six from the door, I'm sort of at a loss. We got there at 6:30 and were set up right where they had the coffee. I guess in two hours and 15 minutes, just six more people showed up. Perhaps I should pay better attention.
