Other Half (2021)

I have been passionate about pizza making for a while and have two Kodas! Should we all set up a group message that anyone who wants to share tips and recipes over... and later pizza and beers after vaccines!!? And get this chat to beer as others may not care as much as we do!

 

I am very honored to be chosen to announce this beer for the #FanFam 2021 for @otherhalfnyc 7th anniversary, which is a collab with @sharedbrew / @sideprojectbrew, #DaydreamsAndFashionShows.⁠
⁠
Happy birthday to Other Half and I wish you a lot more for the coming years. I am really excited to announce this beer as you know I love fashion and I always put some in my posts when I talk about beers.⁠
⁠
I will always remember how excited I was to come to PastryTown in 2019. I got the chance to meet @otherhalfsam, @lorenzothebeercat and all my friends from NYS and everywhere else. Everybody was there and it was my favorite beer festival ever. We went to the taproom right after the festival and it was so epic. It was so much fun that one of my friends forgot to take back her credit card and we needed to go back there on Sunday afternoon to get it back. We didn’t expect to stay there all our Sunday afternoon as we were getting back home, which is in Montreal, Quebec…⁠
⁠
This is one of my favorite places to visit and I can’t wait for the covid thing to be over, so I’ll be able to come to Brooklyn again. I love the vibe there and definitely all the good beers available!⁠
⁠
Thank you to @beerwithflavor and @otherhalfnyc for your support and for this opportunity. I miss you guys and can’t wait to have a drink with you, hopefully in summer 2021.⁠

@val.beer.i⁠ with the assist from way up north! Thank you!!⁠

Daydreams and Fashion Shows Imperial IPA (8.0%) with Shared. We brewed this with our STL fam during their fun festival and it turned out magical. Thanks to Shared for letting us bring this one to BK. Packed with plush amounts of Citra and Riwaka. $20 per 4 pack.

 

What an opportunity and honor to be involved with this year’s @otherhalfnyc #fanfam, and with advertising money being allocated to bigger acts (the cat being one), we fit the requirement (mediocre quality and free) needed to fill out the lineup! We’re excited to announce ‘Daddy’s Home’, a Triple IPA collab with the crew from The Veil. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Wildly popular Other Half releases and their passionate fan base helped spark the idea for Hazeboiz, which has always been a creative way to have fun with wacky beer culture, and put a humorous spin on craft beer. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
To us, what separates Other Half from others is their commitment to their roots, while also evolving with the times. Most importantly, they’ve kept it real, and continue to give back to their supporters. Loyalty matters to people, and what keeps them coming back for more. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Congratulations on seven years, OH team! To celebrate, here is a People’s Pour in an authentic anniversary glass! We’ll likely be posting it in a Facebook razz group soon to earn max profitz and pay this month’s rent! ⁠⠀

Our favorite trolls... thanks @hazeboiz and check out our story for an extra special video they put together. ⁠⠀

Daddy's Home Imperial IPA (10.6%) @theveilbrewingBack when The Veil was oh so brand spanking new we had a fun trip to brew with them and we came up with this banger of a TIPA with Citra, Simcoe and Galaxy. Cheers to our friendship with The Veil and thanks for kicking off the Freaky Friday madness with us! $22 per 4 pack.

 

#RoccoTheRadBeerCat & the entire #LorenzoTheBeerCat family are honored to be asked to participate in @otherhalfnyc’s #FanFam2021 for their 7th Anniversary. We are proud to introduce today’s newest #FreakWeek Collaboration being released, Triple Juicy Diamonds , a 10.5% abv. Triple Hazy India Pale Ale brewed with @weldwerksbrewing. ⁠
⁠
This past year has been one we will never soon forget but the lasting memory we will take from 2020 is the tremendous response to Other Half Brewing’s #AllTogetherBeer Worldwide Collaboration project. Other Half provided an open sourced IPA recipe for anyone to brew themselves and donate a portion of the proceeds to hospitality professionals. If you followed our account this past year then you know how involved we got in supporting the All Together cause. We had such an amazing time working with the Other Half crew and the #AllTogetherArmy from all over the world, collecting and trying so many versions. ⁠
⁠
Cheers to Other Half Brewing on a tremendous 7th Year. Congratulations on the addition of your new locations in @otherhalfdc & @otherhalfdominopark. Thank you for another wonderful year of friendship, good times & great beer . ⁠

A special thanks to Scott and Amber, thank you for sharing OH beer far and wide, and for harassing your cats for the sake of craft beer. #teamvito⁠

Triple Juicy Diamonds Imperial IPA (10.5%) with our high plains drifter friends out of Greeley Colorado, Weldwerks. We Juicy Bitified Triple Space Diamonds with them in Greeley and it was a banger. $22 per 4 pack.

 

I was gonna ignore that one.

 

I am so stoked and honored to present the return of one of my favorite beers of 2019 (can we go back?) as part of @Otherhalfnyc's 2021 #Fanfam.⁠
⁠
For me, Every Trillion Ever (collab with Trillium) is a trip down memory lane to the many happy days I've spent at both breweries. It was through Trillium's collabs with OH that I was first introduced to OH and I've been hooked ever since. Being from Boston, every time I'm in NYC, OH is a must stop and every time Trillium drops a OH collab it's a must grab.⁠
⁠
This beer is everything you want in a triple and it's clear from the first sip you're getting the best of these breweries - the smooth mouthfeel, jumping with juice, the candied touch from OH and the classic Trill bite that makes you wanting more.⁠
⁠
Shout out to OH for all they have done for the beer community in 2020 and beyond (how amazing was All Together?), for pushing the boundaries and always keeping the quality high. Cheers to 7 years and to many more ahead.⁠

⁠The last one for #freakweek! thanks to @beersthatpop Don't worry too much, the celebration continues for next week's anniversary beers!⁠

Every Trillion Ever Imperial IPA (10.3%) with our long time friends at Trillium. We loved this beer and we loved the label. A continuation of our long running shared creative process and it’s a fun opportunity for us to brew in BK. $22 per 4 pack.

 

So much beer. Anyone else gotten everything and planning on getting the five tomorrow as well?

I can't imagine what's coming in the next two weeks...

 

HOLY FORMATTING. This is amazing but burns my eyes.

I got Dad's in Plaid, Juice Gym, Slice Joint and of course Athlete. Not sure I can take in much more just yet.

 

When did this happen? And why has he never mentioned it?

More to the point, if everyone can't spend a day in January shooting the shit about pizza ovens and dough recipes, we're never gonna get close to our page goals come year's end. We need more days—and digressions—like this.

 

Think of going with dads in plaid or daydreams and fashion show. It looks like the Teku one isn’t on the website anymore

 

The pandemic kicked my pizza making into gear. I'm not at @crowlcrowlcrowl levels yet. I don't have an Ooni either. In time though.

 

Just finished a Dad's in Plaid. I'm not willing to write it off but I don't think it was ready. Very harsh on the palate. Not in a drain pour way but just different. A bit alcoholic.

 

So many releases that it's hard to keep up or make informed decisions about what to buy. With the 7th Anniversary TIPA soon and a new Root + Branch TIPA coming next week... my fridge is going to be absolutely stocked. (Finback's recent batch of Double Something Citra didn't help either.)

That being said, I don't think I can pass up this Shared DIPA. Of all the new releases, it's the one I've got my eye on, plus it's coming in at 4.46 on Untappd across 955 reviews. Citra and Riwaka are my all time two favorite hops.

Predictions for 7A TIPA?
Mine personally: DHDHC 7th Anniversary Imperial IPA w/ Citra Incognito, Mosaic Incognito, Sabro Incognito, Galaxy, Riwaka, Strata, Citra Cryo, Mosaic Cryo, Sabro Cryo & Phantasm Powder, triple dry hopped with more Galaxy, Riwaka & Strata.

 

The 7 TIPA sounds very plausible

 

Anniversary releases happen at the end of the first week of February, correct?

What should we expect next week?

I really wish they would go back to announcing full releases at the beginning of the week.

 

I think Trickle Down Tekunomics is the only one that sold out on release day
