Other Half (October 2018)

Yes but they only do those fills from the warehouse on Tuesdays. Its hit or miss, I find the best time range for this truly unusual favor is between 14:21-15:06. It helps to wear a flannel hat so they can spot you.

 

I have an Australian counter-threaded screw top 320oz one which they fill no problem. YMMV

 

The cost for filling my 896oz jerrycan is generally less than a taster.

 

Thought Bubbles is pretty tart and you get a lot of peach up front like @Feaor said. I'd give it a solid "not as good as HVB, but better than expected".

 

Awesome, and since they put out details of the release on Mondays apparently, I should have plenty of time to research.

please more details on this... i havent seen any announcements on bissell page
edit: do you mean the mikkeller thing in queens?

 

Looks like they'll be at Mikkeller Saturday and OH Sunday, and some place in Nyack on Friday.

 

where was the OH thing announced?

 

Cool, don't think I've ever had Bissell Brothers

 

I’m getting married on Sunday afternoon, wonder how pissed the wife will be if I swing by this first...

 

Sounds like a good test to me.

 

Isn't it your day too? Just bring breakfast sandwiches with your groomsmen and call it brunch. Honestly sounds like a dope way to to prep before getting ready.

 

Probably less pissed than you

 

Enjoy... and take any complaining here with a grain of salt... We're all spoiled and left chasing the dragon.

 

Drinking my second Short Dark & Wired (digression #1- does OH even know/care about commas?) and I'm starting to think this is my new baseline 4.0 stout on Untappd, which gets me wondering if others have a system for ensuring a bell curve in their beer ratings (digression #2- I stress about this mostly so I can avoid garbage when confronted with unfamiliar choices, and decide if a beer is worth a really high price or long trip to get it).

I try to anchor each style of beer vis-a-vis a particular brew that I think nails it and is equally accessible (digression #3- accessibility has to include cost, ease of purchase, not too boozy b/c you can't always have even one of those 13 percenters if you gotta go back to the office and get work done). My stout/porter anchor has always been Founders' Breakfast Stout. I can drink one without getting fucked up; they're affordable; widely available. SD&W isn't widely accessible but if OH brewed it more regularly (like the DDH single hops) it could be. And from my perspective it might be first in class.

For context, I think of a baseline DIPA as Double Mosaic Dream because I'm so very happy to have that in my glass- anything more (DDH, the "dream" treatment, in some cases) is just all bonus.

And for @NewmansOwn, congrats and get definitely make getting your beers a priority if it doesn't muck things up- my Jewish wife ultimately didn't care that I had committed to our union in front of god and her family under a Chuppa with some bacon in my jacket pocket (you know, to sprinkle on the food that needed it).

 

Speaking of Jewish weddings, and if I stomp on a Broccoli Teku during my marriage can I get a free draft of OH every time I visit?

 

Thanks @SeanEDPBK and to everyone else for the suggestions!

Did Short Dark and Wired always have lactose in it? I’d love to try the new recipe but I don’t think I can stomach it with the festivities coming up.

 

Baseline Stout for me is Pizza Boy Sunny Side Up. About a solid 4.0-4.25 to me depending on variants, etc
