Other Half (June 2018)

Yea I had a pour of the ET collab and it was awesome although probably too much for me to solo dome so I'll have to share it with either my BIL or my Dad. I thought it was way better than the VIP bottle which makes me feel better about the VIP IPAs being better than the pleb release.

 

How's the event?

 

Everyone is probably too drunk already to provide an update.

 

Yes... Buy this beer if you love Galaxy... Suddenly I'm alright with missing Space Diamonds. It has the perfect amount of bite on the tip of your tongue with it being perfectly smooth the rest of the way down.

 

Damn I guess I have to go today, was going to pray it sticks around till tomorrow but I guess I'll have to be safe.

 

Nope, trillium is still my favorite. Had a citra cutting tiles the other day that was one of the best beers I've had

 

Don't risk it, the last OH beer I had like it was Spicy Meatballs. I find the daydream treatment of lactose mutes the Galaxy bite, I love the sharpness though.

 

Oh yea I agree, I think Space Diamonds is way better than Space Daydream. Space Diamonds is my favorite beer period so I'm happy to have grabbed some on Thursday.

I think that Trillium has worse QA than OH since I've never gotten floaties from the latter but Storrowed is one of the best DIPAs I've ever had so new Trillium is still excellent in my books.

 

Have you ever had Green or any of the HF galaxy stuff?

I don't think I've ever really liked any of Other Half's galaxy-heavy beers.

 

Yep, and I like it better although maybe that’s me being a homer. The only IPA I’ve liked more that’s a regular offering is Haze but I can’t get that as frequently so it’s not my favorite.

 

That and the Masters haha

 

Sold out of Cashmere + Galaxy if people are interested.

 

Green City was worth the money but you can tell its a beer crowd. Never seen so many overweight people in my life.

 

When I saw that on their IG story, I immediately transitioned to fomo status. Lucha libre in Mexico City was one of the best times I've had...ever.

 

HF double Galaxy is still hands down the best beer I’ve ever tasted. Having said that, I love OH’s Galaxy beers but agree with previous comments on how the lactose treatment removes some of the great Galaxy bite that makes that hop my fav. DDH space diamonds... when it’s on, there’s not much that tops it IMO.

 

HF DG is a pretty unbeatable beer for me too

 

Is anyone going out for the Cloudwater tap takeover tomorrow? I'm tempted and wouldn't mind meeting up with some BA people.

 

Now that green city is over. What spots are going to have the best after parties tomorrow with the remaining kegs?

 

I really enjoyed the event yesterday. It was very well run if you ask me and I didn't expect that. It wasn't crowded, the space was great, especially with the outdoors and great food vendors. I don't think I ever waited more than 10 minutes for a beer on the longest line. Even better it wasn't a total beer bro fest, I would say the crowd was around 40% women. The complete opposite of an OH line. And the entrance was a breeze to get into.

The only flaws, per usual, is that some breweries ran out of beer super early. (I believe The Answer or Veil was 100% sold out in 90 minutes). The first beer I got was Dreamweave Fluctuations and then EQ was sold out by 2pm, so, good thing I did that. EQ was also doing awesome bottle poors every 30 minutes or so.

I got try almost all the beers I wanted, with the exception of Monkish Mago Space Cookie (sold out right in front of us). But at the end, my tastes buds were shot. It was just DDH everything, and everything tasted the same. But, I actually appreciate OH being here even more, I had a whole assortment of Trillium which I never had before, and they were at par with OH. No reason to trade for them, when OH is right here.
