Other Half (2021)

I mean, this is definitely not crazy. If 4th anniversary lets me down I might have to just stick with D96 and Tired Hands, depending on proximity, which is a shame. I'm not as fatalistic, but for me to drive into NYC and pay those tolls, I would hope for the beer to be more consistent. Probably just rely on this board and stick with core beers every so often honestly. Collabs etc don't excite me anymore since those I've had in recent memory are way too bland and samey.

 

On a positive note, my wife sent me a pic of a menu for single cans at OH Domino from earlier today. That’s kind of nice that you can buy singles, especially when buying four packs aren’t so fun lately.

 

At a time I would’ve said OH, Trillium, and Monkish were close to equal in terms of quality but things have changed for the first two. To me this is why Monkish is still the best Ipa producer in the world. Having visited them early last year, they are tiny, still in the same footprint (I think) as when they first opened. No scaling issues, no cutting quality to save money to make up for opening a new location. They know their system and they are amazingly consistent.

Can’t hate on OH for growing their business but saying it’s negatively affected the product is an accurate statement in my opinion.

 

We should get together and drain pour some beers together .

 

OH beers are bad. Anything or anyone that says otherwise is fake news. You’ve got Soros to thank. Stand by for my next message.

The two saddest boys in NY.

 

I'm no cicerone, but I've been liking the beers from the first collab week. I still have to try the beers from "Freak Week." The haze bros on Facebook and Instagram have me worried.

 

The Burial and Green Cheek are okay. Other than that, it’s not good.

 

The color of some of these beers looks abysmal

 

I’m so glad I’m not the only one. I’m not a professional or even casual beer reviewer, but I know what I like. And these darkish, opaque, turgid beers are not it.

 

No it’s exactly what I meant. See below. Swollen, bloated, excessive. Just too much.

Definition of turgid


1: excessively embellished in style or language : BOMBASTIC, POMPOUSturgid prose
2: being in a state of distension : SWOLLEN, TUMIDturgid limbs

 

turgid for that turbid

 

collab week beers i tried were all delicious

i think i'm just over freaky releases, was fun for a sec but, make your own beers and make em good

looking foward to the anny ipas, i've only had one ever (6 and it was amazing)

 

Surely you meant Green Power my good sir. We don’t talk about ‘tosed beer in that positive tone around here.

 

Stick around long enough and you’ll learn not to take most of what I post seriously.

@algebeeric_topology, still owe you my prediction post. Remind me next weekend.
