Other Half Brewing Thread (June 2015)

Small Green Everything is the greatest session beer of all time. Thank you, that is all.

 

Honestly? Absolutely.

 

I loved last year's version, but as I posted before, I find this version a bit thin. Especially when you compare it to Forever Ever on tap atm.

#5 is OH AGE

 

I didn't get the impression those were in any sort of order.

Heck, I don't even think AGE is in New York metro's top 5, let alone all of beer

 

Too soon for speculation on the next can release? I think we're due for some Citra or Nelson.

 

That would be awesome. But In their Instagram post for the citra/nelson can release they said "We won't be putting these beers in cans very often so get them while you can". Who knows if that still holds true with the extreme popularity of them.

 

Ah, yea I forgot about that. I'd really want some Mosaic cans but I feel like they're not gonna put those out for a while.

 

I heard through the grapevine that the next release would be more Green Diamonds

 

I'm really hoping for g is for green, greenbacks or small green everything. Green diamonds wouldn't be bad though. At least we wont have to wait on line or rush to get it.

 

I think everybody is hoping for g is for green!

Except me (in the short term)... going to be on my honeymoon in Portugal over the next few weeks and am sad for the cans I'm going to miss!

 

Guessing that the cans sold out at some point today?

 

I'll be headed to check the brewery out in early August 7-11th. I'm just hoping I can take some cans home haha.

Also anyone know the policy if I opened a bottle or 6 to share with you east coast folks?

 

the policy is that it's a brewery that sells its own beer. and while I haven't asked them personally, I would imagine they want you to buy and drink their beer. that they sell.

THAT being said, they've been pretty kosher about letting regulars pop a few bottles from time to time. IF you do...make sure you ASK them first, OFFER them some, and see what they say (it will probably be sure, go right ahead)

 

Had Small Green for the first time Saturday, by far the best session ipa I've had. Blows out Boat. Tried the Forever Ever as well, didn't really think there was much comparison.

 

I wounder if Jesse had a strong input into Small Green Everything. He was the head brewer at Carton who developed Boat. Guy probably has the touch for session IPAs.

 

FTFY /slams door to the internet.

 

No shit? That's pretty cool, haven't had a lot of sessions outside of the Northeast but they're definitely 1:2 imo.

Got a keg of Boat for this weekend, pretty pumped for it.

 

Unless you know the crew, don't bring bottles to share. Sure you might see some people drinking bottles, but those bottles are brought to share with the crew or the crew is sharing with us.

Don't get me wrong, they're not ****s about it. If you were there drinking all day long and being friendly with the crew, you could prob pop out a bottle and share it. But just make sure to ask the crew first and give them first pours.
