Other Half Brewing May 2017

Had a slickers last night -- agreed that it's lost some of its mojo

 

I also have about 16 heady toppers and focal bangers that have been collecting dust in my fridge since january. Wonder how those would taste...

 

I have a DDH All Citra from feb in my fridge along with one from April and this weekend. Side-by-side incoming.

 

I found that the April batch was off from the get-go and fell off quickly. All other batches have been stellar.

Yesterday's batch is still a little dank/gasoliney, but it's tasting nice.

 

Huh. I don't get gasoline but I really love this batch out the gate. Super into it. Curious about the 2/24 can for sure - my guess is that it's doing a-ok. We'll see.

 

My guess is fantastic. Heady if kept cold retains its quality for quite a while.

 

FWIW I had one of that batch at around 8mos old and it was beautiful. All Green is one of the best hoppy beers to age.

 

or 3) Places like treehouse release the same beer multiple times in a short period of time and people often end up with two different batches in their fridge that get mixed up

 

Pretty chill here now, lines are moving and people aren't elbow to elbow.

Tap list is awesome (but no ACE, for those that would want it):
DDH Daydream in Green
Crystal Waves
Double Mosaic Dream
Boogie Board
Riwaka
DDH Space Diamonds
Crooked Crops
Saloon Doors
Magic Green Nuggets
Superfun
DDH Cabbage
DDH Green Down to the Socks

Growlers for everything except DDH Space, but they still have cans of that and Crystal (maybe Superfun too, hard to tell).

 

Loving Crystal Waves. Perfect beer for a long warm-ish weekend

 

Ok but if its the same beer in a "short period of time" what does it matter? If one can is a week older than another is it really a huge deal?

 

I have an AGE from 9/25/15 in the back of my fridge

 

A short period of time in general could be a week, but a short period of time to release the same beer would be considered more like a month, I still have cans from the April 3rd All Citra release and now have more from this weekend

Not all about freshness either, I prefer a few of the other half beers with a few weeks on them, but some batches vary even if they are only a week apart

They did two batches of space diamonds and canned them separately, chances are they are exactly the same, but wouldnt it be convenient for people that want to compare the two to have legible stamps

They stamp them for a reason.....

I realize this discuss means nothing, I should have just answered the oldest beer question, currently have three 3rd anniversary cans, trying to save one for the 4th anniversary

 

Feel like this batch of ACE is tasting awesome right out of the gates. No deisel or gasoline that pleople are talking about. Other Half is on another level these days.

 

Anyone know if there are any cans of space diamonds left for today?

 

I get it mostly in the aroma. Taste is on point though.

 

All Green Everything from 3.25 canning run....has become by victory beer for special wins. Mainly by my son's baseball team.. TODAY'S Terp's Lacrosse 'victory beer' may be tasting the best EVER! Sadly, I only have 1 left in my fridge...slight vegetable taste due to it's age.but otherwise AWESOME!

 

Congrats to your son!

 

I just found a can of Telectroscopic in the back of a 2d fridge. I believe it is mid-April '16.
