Other Half February 2018

AB InBev also purchased a minority stake in them.

 

BA is considerably more user friendly and easier to navigate, there is also a greater sense of community/sharing. Never liked ratebeer and don't consider their user reviews to be worth much, the AB InBev purchase is just the cherry on the cake for me.

 

Do you think more people review/check in beer on here or untappd?

 

Untappd for sure.

 

I think this just good news for BA because once people feel they have lost their trust on Ratebeer they will migrate to BA for discussions or Untappd for reviews.

 

At OH now trying out the anniversary beers. Maybe its the 10% talking (not that I can taste it) but 3rd is incredible. Easily one of their best beer that I've had. 2nd is good, but nothing really memorable. As noted in last month's thread I would not stand in line for it.

 

I went yesterday and share the same sentiment.

 

I was there too and yeah, 3>2.

 

Maybe it's a palate shift because I don't think second is dry hopped. It's not labeled as double dry hopped on the board or release announcement. I still like IPA's with some head and at least a little lacing. This beer had neither. Funny that two years ago I wrote this beer was "overly fruity for Other Half but it works." My times have changed.

 

Since it's Super Bowl weekend..what
is the over/under the 1st douchebag
/hazegirl lines up? I'm thinking 10 pm Fri night

 

Speaking of Monkish, nice to see them charging $25 per pack today. Coming to a borough near you...

 

Was able to try 4th Anniversary tonight. VERY good stuff. Not tasting green at all right out of the gates. Drinks like a 6% Beer. Watch the fuck out.

 

The line just got 10 feet longer.

 

i wouldnt use that description of them ! But definitely before that. I was thinking there is someone crazy enough to line-up tonight or tomorrow day time.

 

This list is a total mess after #1.

 

If the number of Instagram likes correlate with line length (and I think that tends to be true), then I don't think the line will be nearly as bad as some claim.

 

Floccboiz? The term just went over my head

 

Flocc is short for flocculation.

From White Labs website:
Flocculation is a desirable and important characteristic that is unique to brewers yeast. When brewers yeast nears the end of fermentation, single cells aggregate into clumps of thousands of cells, and drop to the bottom of the fermentor, leaving clear beer behind. If yeast flocculate too early, the beer will be underattenuated and sweet. If yeast do not flocculate, the beer will be cloudy and have a yeasty taste.

 

Oh man I was way off. I thought it was about flocking to releases.

How does the expression work in this context? Surely clear beer isn’t something that #lactoselads / #hazeboyz want. Or it meant ironically
