    Call me crazy but I’m confident I’ll be able to stroll in at my usual 1130 with little to no wait and still get some of the release.

    Has Other Half ever done a release with three collaborations from three different breweries?

    And even if you can't there always is the next week! These beers will be better, the same or worse than any other Other Half beer in spite of collab fever.

    If this is sarcasm forgive me, but Other Half IPAs pretty much all taste the same. Except for the bad ones.

    Just drank a DDH Oh. I have to say, I was pretty disappointed. Pretty bland flavor and a little thin. It seems that while OH’s IIPA’s and high ABV beers are as good as anyone’s, their single IPA’s are not always up to par.

    DDH Oh is the only beer I've ever been at a release for and passed on even getting 1 4 pack. It just does nothing for me, especially compared to most of what is out there now.

    I only split a 4 pack, so not too upset. But there are a few other single IPAs that I’ve had from OH that have also been a bit weak (and of course others that have been fantastic). I’ve just found them much less consistent than their IIPAs.

    looks like the hoof and monkish collabs are on tap right now according to beer menus.

    Well, the last @OH monkish collab lasted to 1230 or so? It was likely a double batch and so I'm keen on thinking each of these is as well. That was the sparsest keg e-mail we've ever seen and Andrew mentioned recently wanting to cut limits on batches that don't exceed 30 bbl. Since none of these are cut, I'm thinking they're all doubles.

    With all that said, I might be totally wrong as Other Half hates locals and refuses to release case counts that let us make informed decisions! I'll be there early just in case, with the understanding that it's PROBABLY unnecessary.

    Other Half Sam addressed the case count question on a panel over NYC beer week and he seemed irritated but said, "We don't release case counts because we save some for our friends and family and never know how much is left but also it's none of your business" or something along those lines

    Too funny. I feel like, "we'd just prefer not to" is more honest than anything else.
