Other Half Brewing

Heading over at 5 when I get out of work...should be there by 6. If there's still cans left I'll grab a four pack, if not I'm good with a growler. Can't wait to try Greenbacks!

 

Just got back. Plenty of GD cans left. The G is for Green is awesome. The Jimmy Brett is very interesting and tasty. Town and Country is worth a try.

Specials thanks to @JGam115 for the bottle tastings!

 

I remember saying you typically wear a Mets hat, saw a guy with a Mets hat, talked to him and took a shot, it wasn't you!

 

Haha yea I wear a mets hat all the time except today. I was only there for about 15 mins. Was standing by the door in the taproom with a teal UNCW shirt on. Had a pint of greenbacks. Really good. Reminded me a lot of GD.

Everything went smooth besides the 2 hours of traffic getting home. There is never not traffic.

 

2 hours is insane. Once I realized how much drinking I can do at OH, started taking train instead of driving. Anthony always asks me if I am training it or driving! Greenbacks is awesome.

 

Just got here and greenbacks kicked about an hour and a half ago
G is For Green is tasting pretty damn good though

 

Great time as always, OH awesome, stellar lineup of beer. Great seeing @Hirshi , @Kanger, @dar482, @Iamjoe and many thanks to @JGam115 for bottles he brought!

 

Bummer, great beer, filled a growler and drinking it now, awesome smell, very clean taste.

 

Definitely a bummer but eh I'll get over it...hopefully they brew it again. Not my first time at the tap room and certainly not my last

 

Cans sold out, according to their twitter.

Had I known they'd last so long I would've headed down. Oh well...hope you guys enjoy 'em!

 

Bushwick's Fine Fare Market are selling 4pks of Green Diamonds for $24.99, if you're interested in supporting assholes.

 

How much do they have? Must have muled it. Anyone paying the equivalent of $28 for a six pack of beer gets what they deserve. Hopefully no one buys it and they eat it. As each day goes by GD deteriorates, not a beer that lasts long.

 

I thought G is for Green was the best beer of the day imo

 

"Just to be clear... We do not condone or endorse the resale of any of our beer that is released in cans. We sell direct from the brewery so our supporters can enjoy the freshest beer possible at a fair price. When cans are released to retailers, we will announce it and will inform you where to find it. Any mark up on our beer is negotiated between Other Half and the retailer to come up with a fair price. Do not overpay for our beer. We will always make more. Thank you all for your support!
Stay tuned for a brewery exclusive can release next Sunday....."

 

I don't even think it's legal what they're doing but I don't know what authority you would report this to or if they would even take it seriously.

 

anyone heard whether this is going to be AGE or Hop Showers? Last week it seemed like there were rumors it'd be both.

 

My buddy who went today seemed to think this was more Green Diamonds...

 

Citra and Nelson I believe.

 

Bushwicks Fine Fare are such gigantic douchebags! They posted a shot to Instagram of at least 7 cases of GD stacked high, for the low, low price of $24.99/4-pack.

Myself and several others called them on it, I even tagged Other Half (not sure if they ever saw/responded), but lo & behold, Bushwicks removed the post late yesterday or early today.

 

Wonder who would actually buy that? Us OH beer geeks would get it straight from brewery. The average person walking into the store is not going to spend $24.99 for a 4 pack. Hope all that beer grows old and no one buys it, will discourage them from muling all that beer again.

Hopefully OH can ferret out this behavior and stop it.
