Other Half Brewing August 2017

All Enigma Everything is fantastic. Big time candied apricot/mango dank smell/taste and although the burn is there, the 10% is pretty muted. Another OH winner.

 

At .50 an ounce it better be ! Equivalent cost would be an $8 can, ridiculous pricing, they need to fix this.

 

I have no idea what's going into cans but here is the keg email:

All Green Everything: 10.5% amarillo, citra, mosaic, motueka.

Baby Diamonds: 4.8% session IPA, amarillo, galaxy.

Centennial IPA: 7% single hopped centennial IPA.

Cream Get The Honey: 6.2% IPA, mosaic, oats.

DDH Space Diamonds: 8.5% double dry hopped, imperial IPA, galaxy.

DDH Daydream In Green: 8% imperial oat ipa, citra, motueka, waiti.


I know someone is going to be happy about the return of AGE

 

It me.

 

going to be a lot of left over cans with that lineup. ddh space will sellout but is it worth the 4 hour wait?

 

If Cream Get the Honey is canned, I would guess that will be the winner of the week.

 

I'm actually relieved seeing this week's lineup. I planned on riding my bike out to Montauk with some friends on Saturday morning and this is certainly helping my decision-making.

 

I had Centennial a few months ago at a bar near me. I'm not a bitter IPA hater, but I really did not enjoy that beer. Wasn't worth the $8 for a 12oz pour.

 

I'm gonna predict that this Saturday is AGE, DDH Space Diamonds, DDH Daydream in Green and Baby Diamonds.

Cream Get The Honey mid-week release.

 

Sunday was the perfect OH experience. Ran a couple of miles to the brewery and got there right at noon. Was able to snag of a 4 pack of AEE and Ain't Nothin. Then sat down and enjoyed a couple of pours and left. The new taproom is awesome, and wasn't that crowded at all from 12-1.

You can totally do this if you plan on getting there early. There was actually a father there with his child strapped to his chest enjoying a few beers. Enjoy!

 

Cool thanks man. Yeah space-wise definitely seemed doable. Just wasn't sure how packed it would be on a Sunday afternoon - I ended up going to Covenhoven to play it safe.

When I went to OH on Friday afternoon it looked like a couple parents there with a newborn. Which was totally fine except it seemed they'd parked the kid in the bathroom to sleep, making it totally inaccessible to everyone else. Maybe I misread what was going on there, but if right, they definitely didn't do us drinkers-with-kids any favours

 

I'm definitely glad I don't have cans of Green Power, it's got way too much green onion from the chinook for me (I have the same problem with summit hops). The color and mouth feel were just about perfect, but the hop combo isn't my bag. It actually reminds me of TH Juice Machine, I traded away just about all of my JM from my TH trip 18 months ago because of the green onion taste.

Wasn't upset I tried it on tap, but kind of wish I went with a glass of DDH DMDaydream.

 

i predict AGE/baby diamonds as mid week. ddh space/ddh daydream/centennial for saturday.

kinda sad i missed All Enigma Everything. I love that funky hop. seems very polarizing but for me its really complex.

ill be happy to snag some AGE but problem with that beer is it takes at least 2.5 weeks to hit its peak. im not a fan of their lactose beers (besides ddh dmdd) so daydream is a miss. space might be my favorite OH beer but i dont want to wake up early for it without any other beers i really want.

 

Think Centennial will be a double batch? lol

 

no double batch if they release 6 beers in the week.

meant to say cream will also be available saturday. ratings on untappd are low for OH standards but it is a new can. who knows maybe theyll do a “creamed honeycomb” teku to drive up the hype.

 

sounds like an awesome way to spend your saturday morning. how is the bike ride out there? are you biking from LI?

 

Cream Get the Honey was great, surprised the ratings are low. Not feeling too bad that I've stocked up on Treehouse this past week since most of these don't interest me. I've never been much of a fan of AGE, its just too alcoholic for me, especially with a 16oz can.

 

Yeah. Patchogue, to be exact. About a 65 mile ride. I've never done the ride before, but I have a few friends that have and they didn't make it out to be too grueling of a ride. We haven't exactly pinned down the exact route we're taking yet, though.

Either way, once that's done we're gonna head back to my place to drink beers and watch Mayweather vs. McGregor. Should be a hell of a day.

 

I also loved Cream - and the band.
