Other Half Brewing October 2016

Arrived at 6:15 and I'm 25 people down Garnett.

I'd say it's time for a new hobby but I'm not that strong willed.

 

6:45—line about halfway down Garnet. Curious, what's the longest line on record? Like where does it go next, Court St.?

 

The line made it halfway down Court for the All Dank release, that's the longest I've seen. I hear Street Green may have been longer though. As a point of reference I got here at 6:45 for All Dank and was at the corner of Garnet and Smith. So this one looks like it's going to be much worse.

 

Right now I'm at Garnett and worried that I'll whiff with how thick the line is getting.

 

650 cases per OH Instagram

 

I second this. TONS of people hopping in line with their buddies.

 

Until there are real fights, people will just keep doing this with impunity. The cutting at these releases really should be addressed by the brewery somehow.

 

Agreed, and they dont normally come out until a bit later in the morning when most of the people have already jumped the line.

 

Do they usually give out the bracelets at an appropriate time? Do you have a bracelet now?

EDIT: Looks like no.

 

How pissed are people going to get when they start letting people with cash just walk in?

In the amount of time it will take from now until beer is in hand if you are in line and out of sight of the actual brewry, you could drive to Canton and back, buy as much beer as you want, and trade some of it for this.

 

FYI the line right now is only about 250 people. They just did the count and are handing out bracelets soon.

 

It'll take me an hr from now plus however long it'll take to park, but this sounds promising.

 

Line almost to Court St.

 

Yes, but everyone is pretty spread out.

The influx of people is steadily increasing however. If I had to guess, 8:30 arrival and you should be fine. Possibly even 9. Again, just a guess.

 

The line would have to double in size in the next 2 hours for the beer to be exhausted. Not saying that won't happen, but things look just fine for folks looking to get here at 9 or 10. they are opening early to btw.

 

Agreed-- heading over from Harlem now, hoping to get there by 8:45 or so

 

Wrist bands being handed out now.

 

Got here at 815 and the line is halfway down Court and rising. Wow.

 

They're not cutting allotments. 350 in line so far, bracelets all handed out.

 

only 350 in line? so another 300 if everyone maxed out, this is looking promising.
