Other Half Brewing October 2016

I will say though, the line 'might' move quickly. Everyone is buying a case (with a couple exceptions), and there are no other options for cans. Hopefully they don't have tshirts and glasses to gum up the works.

Ideally they would hand out tickets like Magnify did for their release. Each ticket is a 4pack. Go through the line with the iPad, collect funds, hand out tickets. Open at 10am (or earlier), walk in, hand over tickets, walk out.

 

Probably a good idea to bring the $120 or whatever in cash just in case they're letting the cash payers jump the line.

 

Letting cash people jump the line could potentially cause a riot this time if people started missing out after waiting for a while.

 

Just from experience you normally cant jump into the cash line until you are in the garage.

 

Agree. I bring cash and always wait until I am in the garage to move to the front.

 

Last weekend I skipped about 100 people from the corner of the block down to the entrance of the garage because I had cash. Saved me ~45 minutes. They had someone walking up and down the line asking if anyone had cash, and I wasn't about to not follow him.

 

They were letting people halfway down the block jump this past Saturday but the line was relatively short and no one was in danger of missing out. That probably played into it.

 

Left BT at 4:45 .. they had the collab both on draft and on cask. Was crowded but not insane as far as BT standards go...

 

Just had one of each at 545, completely packed.

 

There will definitely be bracelets. Making a cash line just move things quicker, but not get an allotment to someone who shouldn't get one.

 

I think I'm the most excited for those Gaddy Lane sandwiches this weekend. Straight fire.

 

So you think this release will make the release following this an easy breezy one? Lol

 

Tickets or not, I think this will be a messy one. Early mornings, and the starting of the cold.

 

Like whoa on draft is great juicy but a little boozy and green.

DDH gravity is straight juice, enough to where it burns a little on the throat. Hazy out the ass that i was surprised pulp wasn't in it (joke)

Finally tried DDH DMD - Guava purée.

The real winner was citra/ equinox, very good best combination I've had juicy not malty or boozy at all and that's even after having like whoa twice

 

gut feeling tells me this will be similar to Street Green..buddy of mine waited almost 5 hrs for two 4 pks..

 

Street green was also in the midst of other half already taking forever to begin with

 

yup

 

The optimist in me tells me Saturday won't be so bad. Street Green was a nightmare. I started on Smith halfway to Garnet that release and I got out around 12:30. Bear in mind: this was before Other Half decided to direct the can line straight into the garage, before the addition of a 3rd POS, before the addition of a cash line, before adding a separate table for bagging/packaging, and before the implementation of wrist bands. As certain as everyone is that there will be a ton of people there come Saturday morning, I don't see this being a complete and total mess. Other Half has done a great job of learning through trial and error.

 

See you guys & gals there bright and early
