Tired Hands Brewing Company |
|
Ardmore, PA. This brewery is in the heart of the Main Line, right off the main road. They actually have 3 separate locations all right near each other in Ardmore, one of which is just for merch and to-go. I went to the Fermentaria, which opens for lunch. The food menu looked quite good, but I didn't eat. They have 12-15 beers on tap (small pours available), and a bunch of bottle pours as well. The beers are a range of styles, with a focus on IPA's - specifically milkshake IPA's, but they also have others - and saisons. They also sell cans and bottles to go - they had 6 can and 3 bottle options when I was there.
Little Log Cabin Always Better Here
Imperial Milkshake IPA - 11.5% ABV Pete Scary dangerous amount of alcohol in this one based on the flavor. Creamy with tons of mango and vanilla. Basically a mango milkshake that happens to be 11.5% alcohol. Byeeeeeee. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Tired Hands Alien Church
New England IPA - 7% ABV Pete Really damn good beer. Tons of varieties of citrus up front with a dry, slightly dank finish. This is my style. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Tired Hands Curvature of Certainty
Imperial Milkshake IPA - 8% ABV Pete This has a lot going on. Sweet potato, rice, lactose, raspberry, vanilla, and hops in it - could go pretty much anywhere. It's definitely different. The vanilla and raspberry come through the most, with some earthy hops on top of it. It's a combo that doesn't sound like it would work, but it did for me. Some of my friends did not share my opinion, but I guess they can't handle this much weird. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Tired Hands Eviscerated Pathway of Beauty
Imperial New England IPA - 8.6% ABV Pete Pictured front left. Excellent. Quite creamy, and with more carbonation than most. That sounds weird, but it didn't take anything away from this. Ripe melon flavors. Goes down dangerously easy. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Tired Hands Explicate Order
Imperial New England IPA - 8.4% ABV Pete Collaboration with Crooked Stave. Super creamy yet pretty easy to drink. It's quite dank, with even a little bit of funk to it. I like that. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Tired Hands Frequency Illusion: Grenache
Saison - 7.8% ABV Pete It was really hard to figure out what the hell I was about to drink when I was looking at this bottle. And drinking it didn't exactly clear things up. It's sour first, then funky, then fruity sweet. The best comparison would be a funky fruited sour. Whatever it is, it's very worth drinking. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Tired Hands Grassman
Imperial New England IPA - 8.7% ABV Pete Incredible beer. A little sweet from the honey, but not too much. Some citrus flavors in there on top of it with some dankness from the Nelson, rounded out with a pretty creamy texture. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Tired Hands Helles Other People
Helles Lager - 5.3% ABV Pete Incredible name. The beer is as you'd expect. Not a ton of flavor. Super drinkable. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |

Tired Hands Honey, I Love You
Saison - 5.8% ABV Pete This is a great beer that could double as something you'd have a sick person drink. The honey, high carbonation level, and zestiness could really take the edge off a headache, whether it's from a cold or a hangover. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Tired Hands HopHands
Pale Ale - 5.5% ABV Pete Super crisp and lemony. Really good and extremely drinkable. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Tired Hands Invasive 4: Hydrilla
IPA - 8.8% ABV Pete Outstanding IPA. Extremely citrusy with a little bit of creaminess, along with a pretty bitter finish to balance it out. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Tired Hands Milkshake IPA: Apple Cider Donut
Milkshake IPA - 7.2% ABV Pete Super creamy texture, as you'd expect from the style. The flavor is definitely cider - it almost comes off with an apple cider vinegar-like flavor that balances the creaminess. It sounds weird, but it's quite good, and it grows on you as you drink it. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Tired Hands Milkshake IPA: Cranberry Tart
Milkshake IPA - 7.2% ABV Pete Tastes like a cranberry vanilla milkshake - even has the creamy thickness of it. If you like that, you'll like this. I was with 3 other people, and everyone loved this. That's impressive given divisiveness about this style. It's the red beers in the picture. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Tired Hands Milkshake IPA: Orange Creamsicle
Milkshake IPA - 7.2% ABV Pete They nailed this with the name. Smells and tastes like an orange creamsicle. Hard to put it any better than that. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Tired Hands Ourison
Saison - 4.8% ABV Pete A little funk, a little earthy spiciness, and a load of carbonation make this a flavorful beer that keeps you coming back for more. Super easy to drink. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Tired Hands SaisonHands
Saison - 4.8% ABV Pete Excellent saison. There is some added lemon flavor from what you expect from the style, but the prevailing flavor is a zesty spice you expect, and the flavor level is very high in this one. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Tired Hands Sticky Sphere (Double)
Imperial IPA - 8.3% ABV Pete Super citrusy IPA that smells absolutely amazing. The only issue is the aftertaste is a little bubble gum-y, which is a bit odd. Still, awesome beer. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Tired Hands Tongue Extinguisher
Imperial IPA - 8.4% ABV Pete Damn good IPA. Some citrus and a good amount of dankness to it. There's also a good amount of bitterness, which is balanced nicely if you have it with food. Definitely recommend this with a meal. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Tired Hands Trendler Alt
Altbier - 5.5% ABV Pete Really good alt. Malty, smooth, and flavorful. This just isn't my style. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
