Other Half March 2018!

I just put it down to combo of passover and easter weekend

 

Thanks to Good Friday, Stock market is closed as well. Lots of things coming together to push a move to Friday.

Also, dare I put forth this conjecture, but perhaps they want to move the release to Friday to let the tap room be a little less insane over a holiday(ish) weekend? Almost like they're starting to like their customers...

 

Don't be ridiculous

 

hype train has departed...

 

What’s normal?

 

we'll find out friday...

side note: this batch of DDH aint nothing nice is so great.

 

I assume it's safe to say that line on Friday will be fairly tame?

 

I'll be in NYC this upcoming weekend and considering going to OH on Sunday before I head to the Nets game. I've only been to the tap room once during a weekday when it wasn't crowded. What's the crowd usually like on a Sunday when there isn't a special release?

Cheers!

 

I probably account for a couple hundred of those views myself. The excitement for the upstate release this weekend has me on here all the time. Happy to finally end up with more than just a 4pk I have to trade for.

Although I'll probably still end up trying to trade because that Space Daydream sounds amazing

 

I'm glad you feel that way, because we certainly love and are thankful for them. But I also see how sending a bunch of their beers upstate could fit the "Other Half hates locals" mantra.

 

Besides, here in NYC, we're better than you, and we know it!

 

Considering that its Easter Sunday I would think the taproom would be semi-normal.

 

Guessing it’s a no but does anyone know if OH will sell individual cans instead of the whole 4 pack? Maybe after the line subsides? Trillium does it and it’s great for not overloading the fridge but I think they may be the only ones.

 

I wish every brewery did this, but sadly, no.

 

Same here. I understand the logistical challenges associated with selling individual cans (especially when they're trying to move through a line as fast as possible), but it'd be great if leftovers that are sold out of the taproom were available by the can once the craziness of a release subsides. KCBC does this (albeit with a $1 per can markup, which I am admittedly not crazy about...).

 

so how are we feeling about Saturday morning, given that it's a Friday release? Think they'll have a decent amount of beer left over? I am hoping to get there for open to get some beers for the family gathering on Sunday.

I suppose the line should be minimal/non-existent given the friday release and EQ/HV releasing saturday.

 

Its hard to say, they sold out the Tuesday before Thanksgiving in a few hours so holiday releases can go fast, although it won't be as crazy as that for sure. Andrew was polling the line at one of the December releases about when to do the holiday release pre-Christmas and mentioned that they want to avoid that happening again so I assume there will be beer on Saturday.
