Other Half (2019)

happy to see no upcharge there. Is that the norm? (I imagine not...)

 

Anyone try both the coffee stouts and have a strong opinion/preference?

 

Yeah I’d imagine not the norm broadly but perhaps at Haymaker - last R+B release was the same price as via GSB

 

I’m pretty positive all the Haymaker OH can sales have been the same price as at the Brewery.

 

I'm sure I've missed instances, but this is 1st time I recall Haymaker selling 4 packs at brewery pricing... I have seen the occasional singles available to go at the usual $8 per can they charge.... but it had been quite some time since they have had OH cans there..

 

I assume it's because Other Half is trying to clear stock, so they were willing to make less on the cans but get them sold. When I used to be up there not all that long ago you're spot on... As I recall Fiddlehead was $8 can. I guess we'll know something is up if it becomes a regular thing, but until I see ACE/Mylar/SD show up similarly, I'll just assume it's a bit of a space issue, a bit of a "these cans aren't selling that quick," and maybe a reminder to those people who wouldn't normally take the subway over what they're missing. I imagine it's unrealistic but a tiny operation somewhere either by port authority, Grand Central, or Penn would definitely sell (see tired hands selling at their beer garden in Philly). But I'm guessing the rent/economics don't make sense. Plus the money they make by getting people to coming and drink the taps, which definitely isn't cheap, can't be underestimated. Oh and something something hype/FOMO/maintaining brand exclusivity.

 

Anyone stopping by soon-ish that could let me know if they will have enough Space Daydream cans to last until after 5 PM?

 

Apparently not since the link 404s now and it seems like they've scrubbed it from their site.

 

Aha! I feel vindicated now, following @brandnewcardock ’s facetious (but very solid) joke

 

Anyone get some screenshots? I wonder how many 4packs or stoutbombs we could get a hazebro to give us for some "secret intel" on the next Trillium release.

 

well a couple have been posted by The Rock™️ already

 

Just more proof that place is the red-headed devil child of OH taking all the attention and good stuff from OGBKOH.

 

If I recall correctly, there were a couple that were already released at ROC: Flex, Surf the Great Lakes, Darkness. Then there were the two announced today for ROC: Great British Bakeoff and the 3 Sons collab. There was also an Imperial IPA called Leaf Peepers, the Trillium Collab, a triple IPA with Spruce Tips that's a collab with DeGarde. There might be one or two more, my memory is a little hazy.

 

Jesus Christ - hazy only by the standards of the National Association of Rain Men

 

I swear there was at least one more since I listed 8 and it was definitely in rows of three.

 

I remembered "Imperial IPA", "leaf" and "british". Trust me you are doing great. Reminds me of a couple of girls at high school that would come out of an exam crying their eyes out and then it would turn out they got like 98.94%

 

Since this thread appears to be out to lunch, let me revamp the pizza debate.

Just went to Paulie Gees for the first time. The regular slice is pretty damn good but not close to topping my list. The freddy prince/square slice was so-so. L&B is lightyears ahead.

Will I revisit when I am in the area? Yes. Is it mindblowing? Not close.

 

I went for first time as well about a month or so ago. Exact same thought. Very solid but all this best pizza in NYC stuff is way overdone

 

Is this the slice shop? The original Paulie Gees is more Neapolitan style, its good but not my favorite of that style. My hot take is that Razza in Jersey City is doing Neo-Neapolitan better than anyone in the city.
