Summary: Tired Hands Brewing Co. is a small local brewery in Ardmore. While it only opened in June, Tired Hands has already gained some recognition for its beers. “Hophands,” an American pale ale, was ranked #4 on a list of the Top 6 New Beers by the Philadelphia Inquirer at the 2012 "Brew-vitational," and is almost always on tap, along with Farm Hands, a four-grain saison. That's in addition to a rotating list of beers, many brewed with some creative ingredients—including one fermented with blueberries, another made with roses, raisins and rhubarb, and an upcoming brew, Oktüberfest, made with sweet potatoes.See what's on tap here.
In addition to the eight beers on tap, Tired Hands offers "simple and satisfying" food, including duck prosciutto, house baked bread, a variety of cheeses, and a few paninis. All meats and cheeses are locally sourced within 100 miles of the brewery.
