Other Half February 2018

Drinking 4th Anniversary now. Whoa, oh lord this is amazing. Easily a top 3 Other Half beer for me.

 

ACE is far better, IMO.

 

Has there been any regularity as to how long a Wednesday release might stick around? I know one week I was surprised when they still had Double Mosaic left on saturday from a wednesday, but that may have been a double batch? If only they gave out case counts...

 

I'd be very surprised if both beers didn't last into Friday afternoon/night. Obviously not an exact science, but you generally don't have ~100 people at opening buying cases like you would on a Saturday release.

 

Hoping the stout makes it a few days.

 

That Stout sounds tasty but I should probably drink the other 7 or so OH stouts I have before buying more.

 

Most likely due to the fact that it was a J Wake collab, that mid week release of Florida Plates and snowbirds sold out that same night. I think most other stout releases have lasted, but again, who knows...

 

Some of the last few Wednesday releases lasted into the weekend. I know Hop Showers did at least, and I'm pretty sure Space Diamonds was around for almost a full week after it dropped.

 

Wonder if they put any of the Snowbirds in barrels.

 

Haven't had the 3rd or 4th Anniv beers yet to compare, but the 2nd anniversary can I just had was great

 

Nice write-up about OH from the Bridge:

Jesse / Lou - that is some major commitment lining up at 1-2am! Didn't that release end up having everything left after the line was done? I always thought for "normal" releases like that one, that the line started like 5am at the earliest. And then this sort of time was reserved for the normal collabs / more hyped-up first time releases, and then the ultra crazy "evening before" lining up for the crazy collabs (or I guess 4th anni)

And yeah nice write up

 

"The day’s releases are usually notable for their variety; one recent day featured an Imperial IPA, two double dry-hopped IPAs and a stout called Short, Dark and Breakfast, made with coffee, lactose and maple syrup."

"Variety" is a bit of a stretch...

 

but one of them has the tose we need

 

In case anyone expected case counts to become a thing they announce. Great marketing to not say anything, and that quote confirms what most of us already thought/knew.

 

Someone please tell me there is currently no line. Headed there straight from the office, galosh-less.

 

Update?

 

Just landed. No line. Unsure how much beer is left.

 

Thank you!
