Other Half Brewing Thread (Jan 2016)

Never been as crowded on the night before a release as it was tonight. Better get in line now.

 

How's the line?

 

Looks to be around the corner. Just about the same timing as the oat overdose line.

 

I know everyone is all about the release today(and for good reason), but OH has been doing releases every two weeks now pretty consistently, right? I only ask because I will be in NYC the weekend of March 12th and as of right now that would line up for a can release. It's way off in the distance i know but what do you OH vets think? I would think the only thing that would potentially stop it was if OH was going to Huna Day....

 

Yep - at 7:10 the line started wrapping. There is a lot space between the first 20-30 people though

 

Barring production delays, you are correct. Cans are released every 2 weeks.

 

Past the recycling center

 

gotta ask the folks on line right now...why?

I have been that guy on line at many of these releases, but after going to some in the afternoon and having no lines whereas last release I got there around 9a waited 5 hrs to get cans and only a few ppl showed up after me to wait on line...and cans didn't sell out to the line. Didn't cans only sell out to the line for street green? So why go so early? It used to make sense if you had stuff to do and wanted to be out by 1030 but now the lines start so early and w the bracelets things move snail pace that going early most certainly assures you that you will wait for hours. if you get there now, you won't get can till 11 or 12 if u are lucky. So why go early?

 

^ simple answer "bqe traffic."

 

For me it's a combo of wanting to get out early, and the higher limits on Anniversary vs Oat Overdose makes me think it will sell out faster (by the end of the line).

 

Got here at 8:25 and the line is just starting to turn down Garnet

 

The bracelets were stupid being they didn't even check for them

 

that used to be my reasoning until waiting in line turned into a 5 hr affair without traffic included. hopefully sat afternoon BQE traffic ismy 5 hrs today

 

I got there at 8:25 last time. Just past second corner. Got out at 12:45. Have fun.

 

im done...gonna wait for inbev purchase and distro

 

Line was pretty spread out, so it wasn't nearly as bad as it looked. Already at the corner of Smith and Centre now.

 

How much of a line is behind you? Debating heading down. Had some last night and that 2nd Anniversary is a lovely beer. But waiting on line for a few hours isn't in the cards today.

 

Nice, if beer is available around 4pm like last time I will ride in

 

Wraps around the corner at Garnett. Beyond that I can't see
