Other Half (2020)

@tjg584 it'll be a lot crazy with a high degree of certainty, and with a high degree of consistency, but I would encourage you to check it periodically on Google Maps as their live indicator of business is usually, at least in my experience, pretty accurate.

And as folks around here'll elaborate on there's plenty of great places to drink nearby so you can post up at another brewery, bar, or excellent restaurant and swing by for some pints when you think the crowds are manageable.

All of this assumes you're not seeking cans. If you are, then it's a lengthy affair and I wish you luck.

 

@RauchbierFan33 has been here for an eon.. predating even our most eldest statesman. But like a bird resembling a Phoenix except with a large bark hungry beak, he rises again to foil the lactocons.

Nummy nug is growing on me.

enough with these rebrews... is it too much to ask for some Mylar thrown in for fun in the midst of all the anni love?

 

resemble that remark

What an honor when I was told that I would be apart of @otherhalfbrewing #fanfam if you see my story throughout the month you know the love that I have for Other Half...⁠
⁠
It was a huge surprise and thrill to see that canelife was brought back, this collaboration is brewed with @jwakefieldbrewing the Pastry Gods in Wynwood. ⁠
⁠
Don’t miss out on these two creations! Canelife is the perfect example of what OH has done throughout the year and continues to push their limits on creating world class beer. ⁠
⁠
Cheers to all my NYC homies and Other Half for letting me be apart of the #fanfam y’all continue to surprise us and keep making beer that brings people together. ♥️⁠

 

Remember when Cane Life was barrel aged and a dollar cheaper?

 

Just jumping in on the Nummy Nugs is fantastic bandwagon.

 

Hoping for a DDH ACE DDH SD DDH Mylar drop the week after the 8th.

And it wasn't even good.. lol

this, one of my top OH beers, its as good as I remember

 

My thought exactly. Or some Ringz.

 

How was Berry Berry Compote Compote? How about Blueberry Crunchee?

I had the Vanilla Boysenberry last night and wasn't a fan. They all share similar ingredients but I'm wondering if the absence of lactose and the switch to Blackberry/Raspberry in the Veil collab works better.

Thing I hated about the Boysenberry was that it wasn't even tart because it had so many adjuncts. The Boysenberry gave it a medicinal quality.

 

Berry Berry was too sweet IMO, I tried it but didn't buy cans. Blueberry Crunchee was the first one they did and I thought it was very good and I liked it a ton, the later ones never held up to the standard of the first IMO and then they got super weird for a while with what was in them

 

On the topic of tose - can someone confirm for sure if Lab Daydream does or does not contain it? The Instagram post doesn’t mention it, but it has “Daydream” in the name. Once again OH strikes with their naming convention inconsistency. I grabbed a 4 pack. Like it but don’t love it. I would have guessed it’s tosed, but I know even elite palates like Olaf’s have been confused on this front.

 

I really liked Berry Compote but I think I'm in the minority, if you didn't like the lack of sweetness in the Boysenberry one you won't like it, its even sweeter due to the waffles. Blueberry Crunchee is the best of the crunchee series for sure though.

Check the lefthand side of the label, I'm pretty sure it doesn't but they do put it on their labels if it contains lactose.

 

Was wondering this as well. The nerd in me also wants to talk to the brewers at EQ to see what this "EQ Juice" is all about. Probably just certain types of hop oils they aim to extract

 

Thanks for the feedback on BBBCCC fellas. The thing about the Boysenberry I didn't like was that it was too sweet but it wasn't sour if that makes sense. I wanna try either the Blueberry or the Compote, but don't want to get cans of both.

 

OH is on my way home, definitely worth an extra 15 mins.

It was super smooth, Galaxy was tasting good in it.

 

I really liked Panna e Fragole the first time around, hope this batch is good. Iirc it really got better after a couple of weeks.

 

For sale on Saturday at 10am. ⁠

⁠
Currently drinking:⁠
Panna e Fragole Imperial Honey Strawberry Cream IPA (8%). Brewed in collaboration with @crakbrewery it is made with strawberry purée and whole New York State strawberries, raw orange blossom honey from upstate NY, spelt, oats, and then dry-hopped with Citra, Hallertau Blanc, and Huell Melon.⁠ $22 per 4 pack, 1 case per person.⁠

 

#tbt to yesterday when I thought Tallerboy was a straight shooting IPA lover who didn’t dabble with the whacky stuff

 

originally they said its was brewed with Oats but didnt mention Lactose outright. wouldn't be surprised either way or if it wasn't abd they added it now

 

I really did not enjoy the draft pour I had, but for me I think it might have been the spelt, it usually comes across as really off-putting to me.
