Other Half (2019)

15th round... Clubber Lang starting to lose steam... the crowd roars, “Roch-y! Roch-y! Roch-y!”

 

RS is Galaxy forward don't y'all think? It's tasty for sure but just different enough from HS to be apples/oranges IMO.

 

Yes definitely galaxy forward but imo still similar enough to HS (somehow without Amarillo). I really dig it.

Also, ran into @SeanEDPBK at the tap room today and he gave me a taste of his Ta dow (thanks dude!). These roch-y brews are good. Glad to see the QC is up to snuff up there.

 

“You got a prediction for the fight?”

“prediction?”

“Yes, a prediction.”

“.........pain.”

 

Woah woah - that is quite the assumption my man. My mom never baked muffins. The old homeless guy on the corner of President and Court back in the late 80s, however, did make the best damn blueberry muffins. That’s where my nostalgia kicked in.

 

Maybe I haven't lived here long enough yet to take Other Half for granted or to grow cynical, but I find it hard to feel frustrated about the handful of things I can't always get from them given all that I can. To say nothing of all the other great breweries and beer staring us in the face. Of all the regional beer utopias in the country this is easily one of the best, and you can never miss out on what, in some form, is always there within your reach.

But then, I've always believed the pint glass is half-full, or twice as large as it needs to be.

 

Given the size of their pours (and pours in general these days), this is probably the right mindset to have to avoid disappointment

 

Did all three beers sell out?

 

this batch of double mosaic daydream is so so so good. lactose be damned.

 

DDH Citra+Galaxy is awesome. This needs to be in regular rotation.

 

I know people on this site tease you about your age but you’re not helping yourself here @jrnyc

However, good point and I do agree with your assessment!

 

Ha ha, well done, this is some Malcolm level hazepecking. My plan is every time I drink this beer is to have some variation to the same exact post.

 

Although I haven't yet had the pleasure to meet him, someone has privately informed me that my avatar is what he looked like. 20 years ago.

 

Dude you got this. The question wasn’t meant to be easy. You have to make some tough choices. Just tap tap tap it in Happy

 

Good to know, b/c the last batch was not that great if I remember correctly

110% this beer is amazing.

 

• Crispy Waves
• Crispy Waves (w/ Saphir)
• Crispy Waves (w/ Saaz)
• Crispy Waves (w/ Saphir + Saaz)
• Crispy Waves (in 24oz cans)

Trust me, there would be no line.

 

Props to Ramesh (again) for hooking me up with some "sold out" cans. Went to the GN release and received an extra 4 pack of JB instead of a 4 pack of Blueberry Muffin. Came back in this morning to attempt to swap em out, and Ramesh was able to secure a four pack of Roc Showers for me.
