Other Half (2020)

Haven't had OH in quite a while, but the More Galaxy is banging. Needs to settle a bit but it's something along the lines from 2-3 years ago with proper bitterness and non sugar bomb taste.

 

Swing by today starting at noon to get our latest release, Instant Greens. Order for Curbside Pickup using the link in our bio and it'll be even faster than popping to the bodega for your favorite quick lunch. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Instant Greens IPA (6.2%) All you gotta do is pop the can and you've got greens at the ready. Mosaic, Simcoe and Nelson are one of the best combos around. Add a hint of Sabro for its crazy tropical fruit and coconut character. All the hops are hand selected for their incredible aromatics. $16 per 4 pack. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Cream Get the Honey Oat Cream IPA (6.2%) with Mosaic. This version of our heavily oated IPA with honey and milk sugar is hopped with our lovely hand selected Mosaic. $18 per 4 pack. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Small lACEd in Space India Pale Ale (6.5%) Those great tastes that taste great together, now in a smaller form. Citra and Galaxy smashed together for the ultimate combo. $16 per 4 pack.

 

With regards to the outdoor dining/drinking discussion from the previous page, the city has already announced that the parking space dining is being made permanent. So there will be at least one positive change COVID is going to bring to this city forever.

 

it would really demonstrate how much Other Half hates locals if they extended daily bike delivery or had some sort of pickup outpost in Queens, particularly in Astoria. Man, we would get owned so hard it would really show how much they hate us locals.

 

newbie to other half . I live not too far from FLX and have gone a few times to pick up some 4 packs and it has dawned on me they don't have any "flagship" beers that are always available.

Anyone have a top three wish list for OH flagships ?

 

ACE, Space, A.N.Other

 

Green City is more or less a flagship, though it hasn't been as constantly available as it was earlier in quarantine.

 

Cheers, glad you enjoyed the show if not the beer.

 

So post-COVID, after several Space Diamonds, @rozzom can sit at a table in a parking spot in front of McDonald's, eating his Filet-O-Fish, while waiting for his wife to pick him up to take him back to the suburbs. Perfect.

 

Can you imagine that? Seems like a dream. A royale with cheese, a tosed up QIPA, the roar of a truck speeding down Hamilton Avenue....close your eyes and you might think you were in Paris

 

While not nearly as often available I think AGE is a flagship. Agreed on ACE too. Maybe Broccoli?

Really what you need to ask is does flagship mean readily (if not always) available? I would think in most breweries a flagship (spare that weird brewery in Richmond County) is the core beer always on tap.
If so, that's not in OH's vocab.

 

A shift brewer steps out for a smoke break, you'd think you were walking along Rue Réaumur as workers stream out for Lunch and their nicotine fix.

 

The light touch of falling debris from the BQE and a faint aroma of the nearby sanitation station - what could be more Parisian that that plus a pastry stout.

 

Wife pulls up...nobody there, just an empty sandwich wrapper, blowing in the wind, a crushed Space Diamonds can, not blowing in the wind cause he couldn’t quite finish it. This might be the beginning of “Kevin Part II” we’ve been waiting for.

 

Does the Seine have that iridescent sparkle like the Gowanus? At dusk on a still day the surface looks like hallogram sticker from the 90's.

 

You didn't think we'd head into the holiday weekend without something special, did you? Order now for Curbside Pickup through the link in our bio starting at noon today. And, of course, #staytuned for more⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Roo Lab Imperial IPA (8.0%) with our friends @eqbrewery It should come as no secret that along with our Middletown friends we obsess about Galaxy hops. Pete and Sam can wax poetic for days about different lots of the stuff. Maybe we've taken our fetishizing too far this time. After months of sharing kangaroo photos with each other from hop selection trips we started obsessing with Roos sneakers online just because they have our favorite Australian animal on them. That obsession reached an absurd level when we decided to bronze several pairs of Roos baby shoes. Why stop there? We decided we'd bronze a few more iconic OH/EQ items, namely some broccoli and a beaker. So with that in mind we crafted the next of our Lab collabs with big doses of Galaxy and another Australian crush, Vic Secret. One last fun fact: Did you know Walter Payton was sponsored by Roos and had his own shoe? $18 per 4 pack. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Baby Roos IPA (6.0%) with our friends @eqbrewery If you are going to bronze some baby-sized Roos you have to follow suit with an IPA to match. This one is for the hop heads that need their Aussie hops in a slightly smaller format. Similar to Roo Lab this one is hit with Galaxy but then hopped with Enigma. $16 per 4 pack. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The Dreamiest Imperial Oat Cream IPA (7.8%) For this beer we combined three of our favorite hops Mosaic, Citra and Galaxy and put them on top of even more oats and and a hint of lactose. Double dry hopped with Citra and Mosaic Cryo plus Galaxy. $20 per 4 pack. ⁠⠀

 

Maybe I missed it, but it seems like a really long time since we've been blessed with regular old fashioned non-experimental ACE. Everyone has their favorites, and this is mine. Where have you gone old friend??

 

I love Session Pastry Stouts!
