Other Half (November 2018)

I particularly liked the 'Double' 'Dry' 'Hop' 'Everything' on the 4 cans from the 2016 NYE release

 

^that was a great release. Still remember how good that first batch of DDH Mylar was.

 

That DDH Stacks on Stacks too.... Good golly

 

Early reports on the CW Stout collab are killer. Might have to bite.

Also BA Snowbirds barrels spotted so that might just be part of the shitshow that is Thanksgiving week.

 

Most of the Trill collabs have been a bust.

However, the "Gangsta Gangsta" Label has me intrigued.

RIP Gangsta Cat.

 

Bought a bottle. This is make or break in terms of ever listening to the internet again about buying an OH stout

Full disclosure I had a 4oz pour as well - as usual it’s quite sweet and fairly intense. But definitely very enjoyable. Maybe it was the overly chewed piece of gum that was completely devoid of flavor that had been in my mouth prior, but the chocolate I got in the first mouthful was like a smack in the face. Very minimal barrel though. It was like a thicker, sweeter Mexican cake to me

 

Nice Cinnamon. Def would prefer it without the coconut though.

 

At one point in my life, that was the juiciest DIPA I’d ever had.

 

that jacket tho

 

HVB Collab? Hazebros will be out in force. This is one that will be a throwback to the crazy OH line days.

 

Those beer label names have been in the system for almost a year now. Not sure how valid they are at this point.

 

Do these belong here?

 

As long as the plebs keep their excitement to a minimum I think it’s ok. The primary purpose of this thread should still be shitting on the Brooklyn mothership

 

The new meta will be complaining about cans being released in Rochester and not in NYC. Speaking of which, why are they releasing DDH Cheddar there and not in NYC? Its been like 3 months since the last drop here.

 

Haven't you heard? Other Half LOVES Rochester locals. Rumor is they don't feel the same way about other locals.

 

Finally took an after work trip, was nice to see how (comparatively) dead they were. Grabbed a pour of i7+Galaxy, and a few 4pks.

Also looks like they're out of dmdd. They had simcoe dream, hop showers, crickets, go with the flow, and 3 bottles .

 

I cant wait to see how many people dont listen, drink in line, and have to piss out in the open. Should make for a good time.

No McDonalds to save them this time!

 

Do we know if they're actually doing the brewing upstate yet?

 

The way the post reads to me is that this is just a can sale at the location and not brewed there as they indicated the building is still under construction. Full disclosure, I scored below 500 on the verbal portion of my SATs so reading comprehension is not my strong suit.

 

Hoping this one is more like Another Dose.
