Other Half Brewing Thread (March 2016)

This is good info for the release on Saturday, which I'm guessing will be similar a similar release, if not slightly subdued from the last one.

 

Right, that's what I was trying to gauge. Since last week's was Citra and a collab between two locals, and now this one is with Bunker, I'm hoping it'll be a bit more calm

 

i predict a much quieter line.

 

Collabing with SARA today. Puttin in work out in CA

 

TY. Guess i'll bring 2 growlers and hope some cans are left.

 

Whadda ya know. Street Fruit is now pouring in the JWB taproom. Wonder when they'll be canning.

 

FYI, has to be screw top growlers. They use a counter flow pressure filler.

 

ty. they sell them there? if not have to borrow from a buddy.

 

They do and they are very affordable, $5.

 

Has anyone had Short Dark & Extra Handsome yet? The one review on here is from months ago so it's clearly not for the right beer - it looks like it was meant for Short Dark & Handsome.

 

Haven't tried SDAEH yet, but I finally opened one of my In Absentia Luci's the other night and that was very tasty. Nothing amazing for the style, but still really solid. It's tough to compare after having a Grimm MBADN so recently.

 

Good to know - I still haven't cracked this one yet, either.

 

I'm sure this release will draw a crowd, but I really can't see it being worse than the last release given the lack of excitement over Bunker and the fact that it's a wheat IPA, coupled with the fact that Galaxy isn't that sought after.

Maybe I'm just optimistic to a fault.

 

Agree - I definitely don't think it will be worse, and it'll probably be a bit better. And if you could show up at 1pm at the last release and still get a full allocation, that seems totally fine with me.

 

Anyone try magic green nuggets? Looks like a new beer on tap at the brewery tonight.

 

Galaxy is one of my OH favorites and Kane's wheat IPA has me excited for OH's but I am not able to make it into the city until 3ish. Save some for me!

 

yeah looking for some opinions on this new one...

 

The pic I saw untapped showed a golden clear color. Looked a bit like Green Diamonds to me. I'm assuming the hop bill is primarily Nugget.

 

FYI:
Magic Green Nuggets- 9.3%. Imperial India Pale Ale brewed with 100% Segal Ranch high oil Cascade hops. The Segal's were the first to grow Cascade hops, and he resides right up the road in Peekskill NY!
