Other Half Brewing, October 2017

Has the construction in the garage area affected operations? This sound like a case for Kranger P.I.

 

DDH Green Power is the only one above 6%, so yeah it's going to take a pounding....

 

I should add I love the Dream series so am pretty psyched to try Space Dreams. Though Green Power (going back to the earlier conversation) is possibly my favorite OH beer this year.

 

whose throwing shade? im seeing a lot of upset people in the OH FB groups.

 

I might be crazy, but I'm not really into this whole Creamy lactose oat everything IPA they're doing now. Give me the classic DDH Double Mosaic please. It hasn't been released since June!

 

they are but they are a great representation of the shitty part of craft beer. i need to be informed if I’m going to always complain about trade/mule culture.

 

I love these beers but when every IPA is oated or has lactose it gets more difficult to appreciate the subtle differences from the hop bill.

 

Is there an ingredient difference between the Dream and Daydream series? I skimmed descriptions on Instagram, but there doesnt seem to be any consistency.

 

I think it's just difference in ABV, I could be wrong

 

Isn’t it non-lactose vs lactose? If I’m wrong then I have no idea and am clearly totally out of touch

 

Nah that's "Double" vs. not Double

That's what I thought at first, but Space Dream has lactose, as did the latest Citra Daydream (although previous Daydreams sometimes do or don't include it in the descriptions).

Edit: actually, going through it again, and it looks like you are right

 

Well that would make sense in the latter case right? I’ve always thought daydream is oats and lactose and dream is without either

 

I find I have no desire to drink more than 1 of these lactose/oat/cream beers in one sitting, and I don't like that. It's too filling

 

But doesn't Dream in Green have lactose and oats? Daydream in Green is the Imperial of that.

 

I'm so confused

 

I definitely get that. While I do enjoy them, I've never had the desire to drink more than one in a day. They're more of an indulgence than a daily-drinker/session beer.

 

Now I don't know what to believe anymore

 

I think there has been only one "Daydream" version of an already existing beer which was Double Mosaic Daydream. A lactose + oat version of Double Mosaic Dream.

There is Double Citra Daydream and Citra Daydream, which are lactose + oats. There wasn't a Double Citra Dream or Citra Dream before those, which wouldn't have lactose + oats.

 

I have never been in one of those groups, but if people are complaining about 4 4 pack limits of multiple beers not to mention weekly releases, those are exactly the kind of aholes that need to have limits put on them. Sooner or later OH hype will die and they will need to count of loyal, non-fanatics to have a healthy business.
