Other Half (2019)

Yeah they sold out of twice baked like 15 people in front of me. Really wish they had at least cut the limit to half a case when it was obvious it was going fast.

 

So when we doing the meet up btw?

 

This thread was a fun read this morning...then I read the comments in the Rochester instagram.

 

Thanks to all who supported us for the past 5 years. Now line up at 5am in freezing temps and give us a few hundred dollars each as our thank you. For those of you who don't want to line up on Saturday morning, you get no thank you.

I'm not bitter. Just thought this was a little tone deaf to not cut limits if this release was really a celebration of their supporters.

 

It is likely we underestimate how much maxxers- whether muling, trading, reselling, or just hoarding- are actually enabling the company to grow. Kookie is indistinguishable from all other PS's, if, surprisingly, a little better balanced IMO.

 

It's obv that they appreciate all the quick cash they've helped them accumulate over the years. At what cost though? It's a business decision that they've made to prefer to cater to the mulers than the rest of the population; ie they have decided to keep the 5% of their base who bring it potentially 80% of can sales (mulers) happier than the rest. I get it, and also that it's more cost effective in terms of labor - but it's a bit short sighted. Why not then just have 2 case limits, and sell it even faster?

 

About to crack 1 will report back

 

Yeah, thanks OH for abandoning your original focus and moving on to please the ‘tose crowd. Some OG Other Half beers would have been great this week. V-Love, In Absentia Red Wine Barrell aged, and Hop Showers would have been nice. They finally can meet demand but decide to ship half of the beer upstate and shut out locals. Awesome, thanks for continuing to prove u hate locals.

 

I missed out on Street Green the first time around so if the rumors are true they’ve got me lined up for next weekend.

 

I’m really enjoying it. Def get that cascade bite but also fruitiness without it being too juicy or sweet. Can’t tell if it’s reminiscent of batch1 but I could say there’s some old skool charm in there

 

Agreed.
So tired of the lactose beers...

 

For real, so ungrateful. OH made the trip from NYC before they're even actually open to share this with us, and supreme idiots who figured 9:30-10 would be a good time to show up for a hyped anniversary release are complaining they didn't get any. Unreal.

 

Just read some of the Rochester comments on IG. Entertaining for sure. I enjoyed the immature brat chastising the guy complaining about being told they were sold out at 9:30 only to find out they weren’t. The guy was saying, “you should’ve lined up at 6 am if you wanted beer and I drove here from Buffalo,” as if getting up at 4 am to drive to Rochester only to stand in freezing weather for hours to pay a shitload of money for beer is a point of pride.
Edit: of course, the guy complaining was shitty as well.

 

Well done.

I have no complaints. I could have went today but I think this week will be special.

 

Forget the collabs, All Nelson Everything is the balls.

 

Agreed. I love how OH has an all Nelson beer that they put out pretty regularly.

 

Funny to see Crickets still around after the newer beers all came and went. Think how many people maxed out on the IPAs and couldn’t even be bothered to grab one four pack of a lager. And people wonder why breweries don’t put out more styles.

 

New money tickers think that a pilsner is yucky but a stout with 110 different types of cereal added is "straight fire bro!"
