Other Half (2020)

If this was in October I would have swam through virus to get this beer, today, not so much. Fool me once(subpar SD), fool me twice (subpar ACE), no fool me three times.

For the greater good I hope this meets the approval of those with palates who know what the best of these beers taste like, until then no thanks.

 

Outside the slight difference in ABV, what really is the difference between this and Citra+Galaxy? Shiny new name to market the product better?

 

I believe it’s to segregate the turd harvest of galaxy - to stop weak ratings affecting citra + galaxy’s overall score

 

I can get on board with this

 

More like maced in face. But I'm still gonna buy it just to be sure. You can never be too sure. Early reports are neutral if you think about it.

 

Laced cans not showing up for curbside yet...?

 

Don’t know if y’all got to trying Small Mosaic Everything but it may be my favorite of the ‘smalls’ and I really liked the Small galaxy everything a lot (back before the turn of the decade dreaded galaxy swan dive).

 

Yeah the curbside site is all kinds of weird. Things disappear and reappear, items say sold out and then are back in stock. Today I saw Green City on the IG story but it never showed on curbside. I think it'll be there tomorrow by noon though.

 

That’s what I’ve been doing. I think they do it to avoid people lining up.

 

Yeah. The only instance where I had to wait was when I ordered White Ferrari. The problem is I order a single 4-pack at a time and they often spend more time looking for my order than if I just asked for it on the spot. I like the new system because it relieves me of needing to check if they have something before arriving but it doesn't seem ideal for smaller orders which I would assume are from local folks like myself.

That said all other orders were ready before I could arrive - under 10 minutes.

 

DDH C+G available in Rochester.

 

I also like Small MoE.

+1 on the melon on Hops Showers w/VS, must buy if you fan on the melon notes.

 

I want OH to come out with a statement saying these are not the exact same beer.

also, I’m being hopeful and picking up the LaceD today thinking that they actually are the exact same beer.

 

Instagram says available at 12:00

 

report back!

 

So I went to pick up just a few minutes ago. Man they are working so hard right now. Must be 15-20 employees running around. Phone did not stop ringing. Line of cars outside waiting and some people are really ordering in BULK.

One guy appeared to just walk up and have no idea what he wanted. They still managed to be kind enough to provide him a menu and take his order. Gotta say for the chaos happening behind the scenes they are doing a decent job.

 

Thanks for the update! I guess I'll wait until the crowd dies down.

 

Mules gotta mule!
So you can still just walk up and buy beer, I thought they shifted to delivery and curbside pre-purchase only? It seems like they shifted to the new norm well and are working hard to please everyone, but the website and social media can get confusing at times with all these options. While I agree with the sentiment someone earlier posted of walking up and wanting 1 4-pack is prob easier than pre-purchasing and having them search for it I feel like having any random walk up sales just makes it harder to keep a constant flow going for the workers

 

Laced is already sold out for Curbside.
