Other Half Brewing (July 2016)

@Kanger I second that thank you. I'm looking forward to cans of both DDM and Nugget but not holding my breath for getting any ACE.

@Ajulian21 None of these beers are new releases. Both have done draft runs in the past and obviously ACE is a fan favorite.

 

I'll take your word for it. But I looked at the entire Other Half lineup here on BA. Even did a search for "West Coast IPA". Nothing by that name made by OH.

 

Semantics...

He's obviously talking about OH IPA 1) because it was recently released so therefore likely someone would be asking about it and 2) it's described by OH as their "west coast ipa." Not that hard to put 2 and 2 together and just answer the man's question.

 

I love splitting hairs.

OH's description of OH IPA is, "Last we will have a small amount of a fresh batch of our west coast style IPA..."

It isn't technically the name of the beer, but it was an OH beer being discussed.

 

He meant just the regular OH IPA. They refer to it as their West Coast IPA in IG posts, that's probably where the confusion comes from.

 

Thank you sir. I thought saying "west coast " ipa was better than just saying ipa.

 

I'm looking for some advice. I'm going to potentially drive in tomorrow morning for my first OH release. If I'm in around 7ish, where should I be trying to park?

Anything else I should know to make the day smoother?

 

Otherside of the expressway from OH (that is, west). Generally reasonable to find parking and a short walk back.

 

Read quotes above especially Kanger's first post of this thread. I've watched them tow cars from McDonald's, so don't be tempted. They like to go for the Jersey plates. The whole line enjoyed watching people running after their car attached to the tow truck.

 

There was one particular time they were towing so many cars out of McDonald's it became quite the spectacle! 10/10, would watch again.

 

Yeah I think I'm gonna drive down and snag a parking spot tonight. Then ride my bike over tomorrow a.m. and throw the bike in the back, along with the beers.

Side note: If anyone else is coming from North Park Slope/Ft. Greene and/or just wants a ride to barclays center subways let me know.

 

Anyone else getting tired of this artificial scarcity?

 

Why do you say artificial, is there some secret massive brewing space with all of the hops and malt that we don't know about?

 

You guys c'mon. He's just a bear. Who happens to be a lawyer.

 

Or maybe a lawyer for the bear?

 

So am I showing up at 9 or 11?

 

anyone on line yet?

 

Just got here. Line has just turned onto Garnet.

 

Just ballparking it I'd say there's about 15,000 people in line, but bear in mind I don't really know how to count.

 

Thanks for the advice - found a spot in that area fairly quickly. Arrived at 7:30 and I'm on the corner of Garnet and Smith
