Other Half (2020)

I love the mashup of the Forever Ever and Forever Simcoe label, and for that reason I'm in.

Sounds like a sick release. Sad that I'll be balls-deep in a 6-day stretch of 13 hour shifts.

 

As an out of towner how are these 10am releases. Is it a giant line shit show or if you show up at 10am you can buy cans and sample some beers normally?

also little confused from Instagram what the difference is between Other Half warehouse vs tasting room. Is it the same spot? Thanks all.

 

Show up at 11 or 12 and you’ll be fine and there will be no line. The madness of the anniversary is over. Taproom is up the block from warehouse where they sell cans. Both are open at 10am Saturday.

Small possibility sand city collab could sell out by noon but I doubt it (it’s not all infinity everything).

 

Algebeeric? Are you trying to be like the new smoked beer guy?

 

I have to disagree, I opened a can last Thursday and it was overly sweet, way too much in an IPA for me. Reminded me of most OH triples, especially the earlier ones, where it was just too sweet to drink with little to no hop bite to remind I was drinking a beer and not something else. Maybe it was that specific can? I have 1 more I think so I will compare if I don't give the can away

 

How do you get the beer out of the can? Are you just gonna stick with glass because you can't tear the beer vessel.

 

Today, 2/18, at noon we have 2 great IPAs for release. ⠀
⠀
DDH Always & Forever Imperial IPA (7.8%) a beefed up version of Forever Ever with big Citra and Mosaic additions backed up with Amarillo and Azacca. $20 per 4 pack, 1 case per person.⠀
⠀
Cream Get the Honey (Citra + Belma) Honey Oat Cream IPA (6%) The Honey Oat Cream IPA is back and this time it's dry hopped with our hand selected Citra and Belma, an newer hop for us with big strawberry notes, and fermented with a whole lot of New York State honey. Easy drinking. $18 per 4 pack, 1 case per person.

 

AGE, Green to the Socks, and Triple Mosaic all at Haymaker.

 

Does Haymaker only sell full the 4-packs, or will they sell singles?

 

Only 4 packs for OH.

 

Figured as much. But I assume they'll serve you one for on-site consumption. Want to try AGE, but don't need 4.

 

Pretty sure you'll change your mind after trying it.

 

No doubt. But, even though I don't have a fixed beer budget, I've already spent more on beer recently than I'm really comfortable with.

 

I really like the concept Evil Twin has been doing. Paid tours on weekend that include a mixed 4 pack of the beer released that week and a draft pour. With OH would do something like that.

 

Not that much to see in Other Half that you can't see from the back room on weekends lol.

 

That was my initial reaction. But then charging $40 for a two min tour and a 4 pack seems trés Other Half

 

LOL at $40. You know they'll include a sticker of a banana or piece of broccoli and make it an even $50.
