Other Half Brewing (July 2016)

I'd kill for another run of Nelson and Mosaic.

 

The first batches of those were fantastic.

 

Same!

Give us single IPAs in the 5.5% - 7% ABV range.

 

I find with a lot of the great local breweries, it is catch-22, they are continually making new great beers and repeats of the favorites, but recipes change or they just don't come out the same in subsequent batches. So one day you love a beer ( OH Nelson, SingleCut SSMS), can't wait for it to come out again and when it turns out different, always some disappointment.

But it goes with the territory, if breweries made the same beer over and over again it might be perfect, but would get boring fast. It is pretty incredible how many new beers OH is continually making and how well made they are.

 

I started buying Singlecut bottles because I'd heard such good things about the first batch of SSMS. It was a little disappointing to hear that so many felt it was not the same the second time around. One can only hope they work this out in future batches.

 

Batch 3 is out now.

 

I had Singlecut once on tap. The bar had it listed on their menu as Singlecut IPA, don't know if they just have an IPA but I asked the waiter what the actual name was of the beer and no one knew. Anyway, it was fantastic.

 

Unfortunately it hasn't made it to most shops yet.

 

Question,i usually get in line early in the morning for these releases. If I get there like 11 would I till be able to grab some cans of all three?

 

Supposedly but now it seems like people are freaking out since they replaced the IPA with All Citra Everything. Don't know but I'm not even going to stop by until after 11.

 

I think you should be ok with DMD and MGN. You might have a hard time with ACE then the others though since they said they'll have 100 cases. I'm not 100% sure though. Good luck!

 

Thanks for your input. Yeah I'm more interested in DMD and MGN than ACE, hopefully I will be able to score some

 

By quoting 100 cases of ACE I think this is the first time OH has shown their cards as far as how much beer they were selling before the release. Places like TreeHouse and Trillium usually quote about 500 cases for their runs of a particular beer, do you think OH is coming close to those numbers for most releases?

I would think they had to have had at least a few hundred cases of Motueka-Galaxy two weeks ago because I started in line almost back to Court Street and when I got beer at 11am there was still at least a full pallet behind the counter.

 

Anyone else getting a hint of peanut butter on the last batch of west coast ipa?

 

Thank you for that information! Looking forward to trying the new brews tomorrow

 

Methinks wrong thread.

 

I did

 

Methinks not.. this is a OH thread.

 

Ok good. I thought I was the only one.
