Other Half (2019)

Oof that’s rough, guy in front of me offered me his bottle and I wasn’t awake enough to think about grabbing it for you.

 

Wound, meet salt

 

No more line. Still cans of trillon left

 

Don't worry, you've had it before; as we all have.

Anyone able to update on the stock and shitshowness?

 

No line, no more Trillion cans left, but plenty of Congress and sour bottles

 

Thanks saves me the stop on my way out to Boston! Will try and drink some up there. If anyone wants anything from TH or Trill shoot me a PM!

 

Pot and Kettle (and any variation) is the furthest thing from sweet and is one of my favorite beers of all time. The coffee vanilla version is unreal.

 

Don’t forget to skin that cow you hit with your John Deere and make homemade beef jerky.

 

All good, @fdonnelly and I chilled for a while. I've had 109 before anyway, but let this be a lesson to you all: when buying beer always think of me.

Anyway, just left, taproom was surprisingly quiet. Permutation 57 was amazing and Headroom was very good too

 

Are we allowed to discuss trades here? I'd love a can of every trill everywhere and have extras of the last few Hudson releases.

 

Meant to tag @Feaor, not fdon whoops

 

Pretty quiet round here. So uhh, fuck lactose....amirite?

 

Tap takeovers are nothing if not illuminating. Some of the best of Parish and Trillium were just as good, but no better, than the best of Other Half. And of our other top locals, for that matter.

Chasing brews, coveting the unfamiliar, is a fool's paradise. Great beer abounds everywhere, and some of the very best is already being drunk here without any fanfare each and every day.

It's important, I think, to keep this in mind.

 

I like this sentiment, especially right after I read a post about the Kane/Equilibrium ipa collab “being worth the shitshow of a line.” I guess my question is, but why should there even BE a shitshow of a line?

 

I just got back from a trip south, and after visiting a half dozen breweries (Charlestowne Fermentory, The Revelry & The Hold, Edmunds Oast and lastly, Two Tides in Savannah) I gotta echo that nothing beats the beer scene we have in NYC right now. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed them all, but we are spoiled here, especially when it comes to distribution.

 

I saw that as well. I did grab the collab and while it was good, I wouldn't seek it out more than other IPAs I have had.

 

The Beer Almanac 2021 - “Olmsted’s meteoric rise to President of the Other Half Hop Showers Society was ruthless and unprecedented”

 

I heard the EQ/ Carton collab was pretty good too, anyone try that one?

 

Speaking of OH collabs a bartender was pouring a can of the Quad...Mmm Burley Oak collab for some friends of his and he was nice enough to give me a pour and it was really fucking good
