Other Half February 2018

Speaking of Collabs, what's going on with OH & Tired hands?

Seems odd that they have not had a collab with them for 2 years, given that their only 2 were only a few months apart (Oat Overdose Jan 2016, and then DDowner I think May 2016).

 

Bring back Debbie Downer!

 

I brought one of those to the 4th anniversary release and it actually did not taste like poison surprisingly.

 

You didn't wanna pay $100 a 4 pk?

 

Although I loved Debbie Downer (I know, I'm in minority with that), I'm glad they haven't made a beer together in a while. It would just be whole milk with hops.

 

Are you really equating 7pm on a Friday with 7am on a Saturday? I mean for one the position of the sun is drastically different.

 

That is a good point. I never thought of it that way.

 

Only collabs I care about are City Slickers and Boogie Board Stuntz, hope they bring those back for round 3.

 

And raining threes.

oh shit mosaic + galaxy. those hops play like kariya and selanne back in the day

 

also the correct answer for the best collab to bring back is All Infinity Everything

 

I mean, Sand City will have a lot of time on their hands now. I for one wouldn't complain if they hung out around Carroll Gardens for a while.

 

This might be the best double post I've seen on any internet forum, well done sir.

 

Seems that J.Wakefield is back at OH brewing as well....(via Instagram)

 

People gonna sleep on this since it's not DDH (yet), but if it tastes like the mashup between DMD and Space Diamonds that I'm imagining... god damn.

Also, my hot take from this past weekend's release: DDH Space Diamonds >> LGA. Best batch I've had for sure, as they seem to have completely figured out how to avoid that astringently bitter/dry finish that plagued the first few batches, IMO.

 

geez, northport sounds like the old geezers in this thread.

 

Yeah I wasn't sure what they meant by that. The taproom is closed but they still have been releasing multiple cans pretty much every week, including the evil twin stout collab which should be coming this weekend.

 

Weird, the keg top picture I saw said double dry hopped, but maybe that is for next time. Either way this one is going to be a winner.

 

Cam was pouring some bottles at the NYC Brewers Guild Opening Bash and I was able to get a taste of Velvet Magnum. Feeling pretty foolish for skipping out on that bottle, considering how much better it is that some of the other stouts I'm sitting on.
