    Noble knocked it out of the park with this release. Nose was somewhat mild but the taste blew me away.

    Having just moved from NYC to Long Beach, I can confirm that Other Half is simply amazing. The All Green Everything is one of the best IPA's I have ever had. (Though I have been having a lot of fun trying the Noble Showers for the first time!) IMO Alpine Nelson, despite all the controversy with GF kegs etc, is still better then Other Half Nelson.

    Anyone know if there are bottles of I Love It still available at the brewery?

    Cracked a bottle of I Love It! last night and as others have said, it is amazing. The aroma is crazy, seemed to fill the room after I poured it.

    So what is the reasoning of the 4pm opening Mon-Fri? I believe this was discussed a while back. But seriously, why do they not open at noon like some of the others? A city ordinance thing? Or by choice? It would be nice if they opened earlier. That afternoon traffic at the orange crush isn't fun.

    Agreed. At least on Fridays. Start the weekend off right!

    if we're talking about breweries i think Orange County can make a case for being better than LA, though i would argue that LA and OC are almost neck and neck.

    if we're talking about stuff aside from breweries i'll just say that if it weren't for The Bruery and my parents living there i probably wouldn't go to Orange County much.

    If i had to guess, its probably because they are in a pretty busy business center, and parking could get really bad if they were busy

    Maybe they are doing so well they don't really need to open its doors to the public earlier than 4.
    At least open earlier for growler fills and purchasing bottles to go. Although it is nice to have a Naughty Sauce while your waiting for growler fills. Or to just have and done along with your purchases. :wink: I don't think I've ever seen growler fills of NS....:grinning:

    I just left the brewery. Growlers of I Love It are good to go and available. Apparently all bottle releases will become growler available when the brewery sells out of bottles. This is the word from some of the staff.

    @01Ryan10 I was there tonight as well before and after the angel game. Good fun. The Nelson is funky which I love, and thankfully no one cares for spicey IPAs as I'll drink that keg of too darn hot by myself haha


    Nitro doesn't hold up in growlers, so no you'll never see naughty sauce unless it's off nitro(which would be a travesty)

    So...I just got a growler fill of "I love it", and I'm having buyers remorse. I mean...four 16Oz pours cost $24, but the same amount of beer in a growler costs $25. Growler fill should be $20. C'mon Noble.

    I mean...in theory four 16Oz pours should cost more due to overhead (labor and facility usage).

    I hear ya bro. That's always been my pet peeve with Noble...and a few other places I won't mention again. Same old story.

    I mean, is ILI $10 better per growler fill than big whig? He'll no. I said it before and I'll say it again, BW is an outstanding year round. Wish I would have just got that for $15 instead.

    Any word if or when they're planning on bottling another batch of I Love It? Hooked here on the east coast!
