Other Half (2020)

From OH FLX:

All Photobomb Everything Imperial IPA (8.5%) with @district96_beerco. We teamed up with District 96 to mash up the Photobomb series with our own All "---" Everything series. Citra, Sabro and Vic Secret make for one soft tropical DIPA. $20 per 4 pack.

 

"when I see a beer with sabro
i don't get no fucking FOMO
'bout the only thing worse than tasting coconut
would be a sixteen ouncer up the...."

 

I hate sabro as much as the next guy, but D96 knows how to use it without making their beer taste like overly done fake shit. Their collab with Vitamin Sea from a few weeks ago was phenomenal.<----- this is a period

 

Conclave's sabro beer is one of my favorite beers by them.

But this sabro and vic secret together might not be fun.

 

I'm usually not a huge sabro fan either, but I thought Essential Juice (sabro/mosaic) was great.

Oh shit I forgot, I'm an upstate boi now,
I'll hype the bait going forward, you have my vow,
But I fucked up this time, it's already too late,
So since I'm already balls deep I'm gonna extrapolate,
D96 is the shit they deserve massive respect,
But this ain't no collab, that term ain't correct,
These guys shot the shit over Zoom and a beer,
And threw out some ideas while high on good gear,
So while my D nine six homies work the 'bro well on the reg,
This shit 100 percent Brooklyn; gotta knock it down a peg,

 

Edited because I forgot to add the "expansion pack" with bottles. WTF am I doing with my life.

 

no pricing on the green city packs?

 

Not till tomorrow

 

Green City Set is $180

Green City Expansion Set is $100

 

That’s quite the increase for fancy packaging.

 

upstate life this boring, eh?

 

Nothing says suburban despair quite like composing slam poetry about beer collabs on a Tuesday afternoon.

I'm just gonna say it, consequences be damned: I like those boxes the beer comes in.

 

Ha was thinking the same thing, glad I’m out of state and can’t be tempted

 

Dope boxes. I just wish other half would focus on quality over quantity. Stop giving us a bunch of different beers that aren't worth the money. I would be happy if they cut the assortment by half and nailed the flavors they were actually going for. I want that OG other half that wowed me with every ipa I had from them. The idea of the boxes is dope so I will give it a shot

 

First time they can high abv stouts? Not that OH stouts are any good, but on the off chance they somehow get better in the future, would be more appealing if they went the Aslin way for non-BA stouts ($8/can vs. $18/bottle for roughly the same amount).
