Other Half (2019)

Possibly, I have a few cans left and can’t see myself drinking them.

 

hop showers is always slept on... People can't flip an old brew for the big bucks.

 

I’m so entitled I got there at 9 and demanded they open early for my HS fix.

 

If anyone wants to meet up and slam some tasters of crickets at green city this afternoon, I’m wearing a white shirt with flamingos and blue shorts

 

I have a reaper broccoli OH shirt and green shorts if ya see me

 

Kentucky Tuxedo is terrible please don't buy it, in fact if you have bottles please give them to me so they can be disposed of properly.

 

Green City was a lot of fun. I was surprised by how many owners were there just pouring their beers. Got to meet a lot of cool people.

 

Yeah this was my first OH beer fest (didn’t go to GC last year or pastrytown) and I had a great time. I was really impressed with the water stations, people handing out water bottles at the stairwell at one point, nobody seemed to get obnoxiously drunk, etc.

Don’t get the people on Facebook complaining. But then again I tried to just enjoy it and gave up on trying to have every beer and catch the timed releases because I figured it was impossible.

 

Should have called it ddh nano all citra everything.

 

Any thoughts on the riwaka flokka hop showers?

 

Green City was better than last years and pastry town. Thought I would leave by 2, but I stayed almost until 3:30 and there was still plenty of beer.

There was a line to get in yeah, but, I got more beer in the first hour than I did all of pastry town and it just seemed less crowded overall? The lines were very small and I don't think I waited more than 8 minutes.It seemed very few breweries ran out extremely early and I got everything I wanted to try and more. (I think the exception was Monkish I was told?)

The timed releases, which I thought I would avoid, were pretty easy to get.

 

Question for those who went to Green City: Best Beer of the day?

 

I remember saying Canopy Door from Grimm was one of my favorites. I was also really impressed with everything from Foam. Take it with a grain of salt though because my palette was wrecked about 30 minutes in and everything started more or less tasting the same.

 

How come Other Half doesn't have a beer called "NYC Tap Water"?

I give them full permission to use my idea as long as I get a 4-pack for my services.

 

Just a four pack?

 

DDH Ghost in the Machine was really good. Like someone else said my palette was gone pretty early, but DDH Ghost was the 2nd beer I grabbed because I wanted to really try that out.

Edit: both Mortalis beers I tried were excellent too. I had people tell me their stuff was really good but i hadnt gotten to try. was the 2nd or 3rd booth I went to and there was no line then went back later to a pretty good line that moved fast.

someone bumped into me trying to walk past my by the wrestling ring and knocked my full taster out of my hand and shatter it all over my feet and legs, which was probably the only unpleasant moment I had. It was pretty late in the day so I likely didn't care as much as if was at 12. But I was able to get another glass which was nice. Also didn't really wait in any line more than a few mins. I didn't go to the Monkish table because I wanted to try other things and not wait. Waiting in the time bomb line for proper dose because I happened to be right by there a few mins before hand and it really didnt take long, which was nice. Also got some All Aqua Everything from @RobNewton

 

West Ashley? The SARA table had no line at all for the entire day (why?). I probably drank the equivalent of two 750s of WA.

Best IPA probably goes to one of the hip breweries like Monkish, HV, Foam etc; best IPA I'd never heard of before went to Brewski, apparently a brewery out of Sweden.
