Other Half Brewing Thread (May 2016)

Ha, well I assume everyone on here doesn't ONLY consume the OH beers they buy, but maybe that's a bad assumption. Other beers to break up the monotony, plus nights where you drink at bars, etc. instead of at home. Plus, once you're splitting the haul that changes the equation!

In any event, props to you for being able to knock back two AGE plus another beer in a normal session - I never drink that heavily on weeknights, and save it for the weekend. Everyone's drinking patterns differ though!

Right you are - misread that.

 

I get the feeling you care about this a lot more than I do

 

All the Oxbow bottles I've seen are 500ml.

 

All Oxbows are 500 mL and can go into the $20+ range

$12 really isn't that bad...

 

So do we think they had this Table Beer in the tanks for something else and they had to scramble to get it bottled for this weekend because a mishap with the TH/Omnipollo collab?

 

I think it was probably going to be that additional bottle they announced later in the week after the initial can announcement.

 

That seems about right.

 

$132 for 3 x four packs and 6 x 500ml bottles? Um, No thanks.

 

Given the fact that OH promised Proletariat a keg of Omni/TH/OH for their event on Saturday and then pulled it at the last minute, I am in full tin-hat mode that the collab hit a snag.

While I was prepared to deal with the #whalez, I am happy that I'll get my AGE and a new something to try with relative ease.

But:

this would be ideal

 

Question for you guys - a group of friends and I were planning on going to Other Half when they open on Saturday, but we aren't interested in the bottle/can release. None of us have gone before so we were wondering - will it be pretty easy to just go in and hang at the bar, or should we not even bother?

 

From my experiences on release day, the bar will be packed until the cans thin/run out

 

It's 16.9oz. $12 for a pint of beer that is session level ABV. Sorry but that's a lot of dough for barely any alcohol.

 

I can only hope for small turn out. I've been walking in at 12 and walking out at 12:10 and it's been pretty great. All Green brings out everyone though....

 

Why are you so cranky? If you don't want the beer don't buy it. If enough people don't buy it, pricing will change. It's called supply and demand.

 

Last All Green release I was at Ikea and was able to pick up 2 4 packs around 9pm... may be different this time around though.

 

Yes, this person speaks the truth. It is actually the worst possible time you can go. If you hang out in the brewery and grab a breakfast sandwich, well, it's an experience, granted a fairly unpleasant one. But still...

 

Thanks, I'll be doing my 12:00 thing. If I get my allotment great, if not, two weeks is the wait. The last release was so underrated. Both beers were great. After two weeks the lime in that Kolsch is popping. People slept on that release.

 

No one ever said you needed to get a full allotment. Get as much as you can afford. Don't complain about prices otherwise.

 

So much salt. Hopefully my line is shorter because of it.

 

Many people, including myself, often get a one and one. A four pack and a bottle is a great weekend. Some of us fill the All Green because the nation loves to try some All Green...
