Other Half Brewing

Lest we forget Mission Dolores + Bierkraft! Uncle Barry's, too! Sounding like a substantial crawl already

 

I am worried if we start at OH, I will never leave there ! Always end up staying longer than I expect!

 

A collaboration with Evil Twin and being featured on Brew Dogs!

From their FB:

 

Game over.

 

A quick trip to Other Half and Threes:

Beer and Chocolate pairing next Thursday (11/20):

 

I'm thinking of heading in to Other Half this weekend. I know they fill 32 oz growlers but do they fill screw top or swing top growlers? Anyone know where I could find a draft list? Do they limit the number of growler fills per customer? Anyone know if I could hit Threes brewery on Saturday as well?

 

They fill screw tops but it has to fit their counter pressure filling system, someone else could probably explain exactly what type of growlers these are. They just updated their draft list on beermenus yesterday. I don't know if they limit number of growler fills. Threes is not open yet, the event last weekend was a one time thing until they officially open possibly later this month. I'm swinging by the taproom tonight to get some growlers filled as well, based on the check-ins on untappd last night I would say their beermenus page looks accurate. Hope this helps!

 

Yeah as @rojapa mentioned it's standard screw top 32/64 oz growlers, no swing top since they don't work with their counter pressure system. They will even give you new counter pressure screw caps for your standard growlers. But they do have growlers for sale there too.

No limit on fills as far as I know. Last week I saw a guy fill up 6 growlers.

As for the draft list - it'll change throughout the day, but here is yesterdays list:

Unfortunately Threes wont be open and you can't get any of their beers at bars yet since they are not distributing at the moment.

 

Best way to see what is on tap is check the untappd check-ins. Also, people sometimes post pictures of their beer list chalkboard. They don't always update their list on www.beermenus.com.

If anyone is going tomorrow and wants to have a beer, I will be there from around 1 to 5 with a friend of mine.

 

This is nice. I dig the Raaka chocolate. It's "raw" chocolate, so it's a different approach.
I recently had one of their bars with hops added. Interesting stuff that should make
for a fun pairing with the OH beers.

 

Brew Dogs crew was there doing some filming in tap room yesterday. Episode will air sometime in spring.

 

First Gold is on the horizon. Possibly the best beer ever brewed by Sam + Matt. Keep your eyes peeled over the next few weeks.[/QUOTE]

Damn just read this. Missed having this last night. Got there at last call so only had time for the Grand Cru which I thought was really good. Grabbed a growler of All I See is Green for the weekend.

Heard someone ask about canning and looks like we are two months (January) away from this happening. Green Diamonds as previously stated.

Is First Gold on now? Didn't see any untappd check-ins for it.

 

Yes they had it on last night.

 

Yeah I was going to go last night for the chocolate, but decided to get my new home brew kit up and running.

Fingers crossed I'll have a nice hoppy IPA!

I guess I'll stop by this Sunday afternoon for a drink and a growler fill.

 

Oh boy!

"Just brewed Hop'Deded, our newest Imperial IPA. More hops than All Green Everything. Three weeks away!!!"

I dropped by last night and had a pour of the In Absentia Luci, which is the best non-IPA I've had from them. I was really impressed. Silky and rich with great dark chocolate notes. Really a top notch stout. They are aging some of this batch in bourbon barrels and in wine barrels. The latter is to be bottled.

Also, that BGH event looks outstanding. I wonder if the Citra is from the last batch or if they brewed more. That and the Nelson can easily stand up to New England's finest.

 

They will be open wednesday early and Friday early also.
