Other Half Brewing Thread (Jan 2016)

20 wrist bands left as of 10:50 according to insta, that's why people get there early! well that and FOMO

 

Hey guys how's the event? Oh, just a can release? Ah, ok.

 

Same question that comes up every other week. Did anyone ask whats next?

 

I was told AGE and Equinox.

 

Looks like not much anniversary left? Oh well, saves me from making the trip later

 

I'm drinking in the McDonald's bathroom. Come say hi.

 

I think my appetite for waiting on lines is pretty much gone at this point. Just popped my head in at the barber shop and after seeing there were 4-5 people ahead of me, did a 180 and walked back out. After reading that there wasnt going to be a repeat of last release with no-line leftovers (as I expected there wouldn't be) stopped to pickup a sixer of Enjoy By Unfiltered.

 

Got there early (about 7:15), and was out the door by 10:35. Currently drinking a 2nd Anniversary right now, and I'm thoroughly impressed. Definitely one of my favorite OH beers to date.

Feels nice to say that the wait was worth it on this one.

 

Hopefully they do growlers of the anniversary and I'll just grab a couple during the week. Lets be honest, the people who fill these lines before 10 are out of towners. Not a big deal but they also do not seem to respect the neighborhood.

Would really like to see some day of weekday releases for us locals.

 

What is the taproom/line like now?

 

bummer. I guess yields were much lower since it sounded like less ppl. at this point probably be just hop showers left when I get there

 

Figured they would last like weekend. They didn't. Oh well. After the 4 hour oat overdose line I kind of came to the conclusion there are only a few beers worth a 4 hour wait in the world to me. And other half isn't making them. No disrespect to OH, they make great beer. Just not worth the ridiculous waits.

I will say again if they weren't so unbearably slow at getting people in and out it would make reconsider

 

According to their Twitter 2nd Anniversary is sold out, a little over 20 cases of Diamond Mausoleum, and 60 cases of Hop Showers left.

 

Anyone try the dark ale yet?

 

No line for cans right now although there are a ton of people drinking in the pickup area. Still had a bunch of Hop Showers and less of the Masoleum. If you were waiting for it to die down, now is the time to go.

 

Give me about 30 minutes and I'll report back to you. Still working on this 2nd Anniversary.

Luckily I went with my roommate today, and he's a freak for Hop Showers. We've arranged a deal where I traded some of my Hop Showers for some of his 2nd Anniversary. No backsies.

 

Having one now, it is good stuff. Nice malts but not overly malty or sweet, and good hop bitterness on the finish. I like OH Doug a lot but would need to have them side by side to compare, but either way it is nice stuff.

 

I thought the line actually moved pretty quickly today. I arrived at 815ish after some difficulty with the F train at 14th street, got in line right at smith and garnet, and was out by 1130ish

It feels like the holdup is usually people standing around and packing bags right on the counter after they've received cans.

I'm really enjoying the 2nd anniversary beer. Can't wait to see it around town and drink more of it!

 

can someone post when they are out of the collab? Any idea how much is left and if there are cans really moving anymore

 

Per Insta, collab is down to one case (ie its gone now) and 20 cases of Hop Showers.
