Other Half Brewing Thread (Sept 2015)

Unfortunately those are all gone, unless one of those brewery cats grabbed a couple of 4 packs and hid them in the back somewhere for later use ! But looks like AGE is on tap now so hopefully will get some tomorrow.

 

AGE.....ages really well

 

Green is for G's, AGE and GD all on tap now, holy crap, that is a lot of big, hoppy goodness, hop head heaven! Come and get it!

 

I had had this on tap a few times but last night was my one (and, unfortunately, only) can and holy shit. Even better than I remembered it being. Very tropical and clean for a beer with so much of a punch to it. Wish I had more.

 

Drinking a can of GD now, this may be the best batch of GD OH has made, it is stellar!

 

agreed. as someone who has been drinking the heck out of these cans since they started canning, I gotta say there is DEFINITE batch variation, but the latest GD...is the mamary glands

 

Been drinking this one from day one, earlier this year lost my taste for this one, even drain poured a can. But glad I am back on this one, so good.

 

I kind of doubt that they are holding back cans. They have very little space. In the past they have said that the for the high limits is to sell everything they have in a day.

 

Understood why people value the cans, especially on a big beer like AGE, if I was you would want cans to. For what it is worth, last night I left a half full uncovered can of AGE in the refrigerator, took it out today, still carbonated and was still so fragrant that my wife walked into the kitchen and from 10 ft away said "What is that smell". In the past I had a 32 ounce growler of AGE that I only drank 1/2 off, 8 days later opened it up again and it was still really good. I don't recommend this with all beers, but this one seems to hold up really well under less than optimal conditions.

Enjoy those cans and drink that Mosaic before it falls off.

 

Would love to see a can (or bottle) release of a RIS. Had their BA RIS on tap a while ago and was shocked they nailed that style as well. I shouldn't be surprised BUT they consistently brew world class IPAs so I wasn't expecting to like it so much.

As for their can release protocol, I think they do a fantastic job. Great communication and they try to get it to everyone. No complaints here

 

Anyone hear anything about the next can release? This weekend? Next?

 

Any idea what it may be?

 

Call me crazy, but I was in Vermont drinking cans of focal banger this weekend and I prefer Hop Showers and Mosaic.

On weekends, there's usually a crowd outside this teeny tasting room, lined up to try Sam Richardson and Matt Monahan's floral, grassy single-hop IPAs and pale ales. 195 Centre St

 

Crazy.
