Other Half Brewery Thread (November 2015)

I'm pretty sure it is for growler fills. But I'm guessing just 32 oz.

 

At the risk of creating a stampede:

We got our hands on this collaboration between @OtherHalfNYC & @trilliumbrewing ! #ThePlaceToBeer #StayTuned #NYbeer

 

On growlers, I was towards the end of the line Saturday they said they would do growler fills of Street Green "later this week" if we didn't get any cans. As reported earlier in the thread, the keg at the tap room was probably just a sixlet.

 

that was the keg they had on before the can release, this is a 2nd batch of the beer that i assume was only kegged

 

Could also depend on if their agreement was a cumulative bbl total? Maybe Trillium brewed a 50 bbl batch at once and OH brewed 2, 25 bbl batches a few days apart?

 

Gotta say... not tasting the alcohol heat on this Green Diamonds as mentioned earlier. I usually find it to be on the boozier side, especially on the nose. This batch is tasting so balanced. I'm chugging these down and thats no bueno.

 

I found GD to be very hot as well. Greenbacks also seems to have been brewed again and making its rounds to some bars. Hoping that gets canned at some point as it was one of my favorite from OH.

 

I've had just about every batch of GD and this is the least hot for me, weird.

Maybe because I'm leading up to it with a 7-8% beer it's killing some of that alcohol taste by the time i get to GD.

 

Am I the only one who missed that Greenbacks is on tap again? Never got to try but heard amazing things.

 

10 OH beers at Covenhoven:

"Tonight @covenhovennyc we will have some good beers on tap including Street Green our @trilliumbrewing collab. Come drink some beer with us."

 

Greenback on draft at OH! Hopefully it will still be on tap come Friday when I can make it to OH.

 

On tap at Covenhoven too.

How is the growler line looking?

 

Headed over now from work - will report back in about 30 minutes.

 

it was fairly crowded (line of 20) for the initial 15min but is dying off.

full growler fills

 

Just got here a few mins ago and there was a 2 person wait to order, seems like it'll just be a little bit for the fill. $26 for a 64oz growler of Street Green.

Stoked it came back, was so bummed when it kicked in front of me on Thursday.

 

OH's pricing still is strange to me... to charge $26 for a 64oz fill, when the same 64oz was $16 in cans.

 

They are very expensive on their frowler fills. Typically cheaper at Whole Foods.

 

Cans are priced to move ASAP, hence they are priced much lower than fills.

 

So, how was street green? Was thinking I'd be there for the can release over the weekend, but my VT trip had to be moved. Disappointed I missed it... what are everyone's thoughts?
