Other Half (2021)

Few years back while running one of New York’s best pizzerias, I met a few friends who kept talking about how I needed to check out Other Half Brewing and how it had the best beer, vibes and music. They also introduced me to @proleteriatnyand said one of the guys that works at Other Half, Anthony, also worked there. After checking out Proletariat I had a few Other Half beers, chatted with @crack1open, and loved the vibes. ⁠

Fast forward a few years, Anthony and I are good friends, and I have not missed a single release at Other Half. He later introduced me to the JEFE’S (Andrew, Matt & Sam), and their attitude was all about having a good time, while making sure everyone else did too. I quickly noticed that Other Half was a “Whole Mood”, and immediately knew I wanted to work there. ⁠

So here I am now, as a proud member of the Other Half Family, celebrating our 7th Anniversary. I must say this has been the best opportunity ever given to me. So much respect for this company, and to my friend Anthony, who introduced me to them. I am proud of our OH family, and what we have accomplished this year. #fanfam #alltogether ⁠

Wow 2pp on BA Bananversary

 

All 7th Stout seems a bit underwhelming. Or maybe, I'm just used to stouts with an overwhelming amount of adjuncts these days.

 

Probably the latter. Sea salt though could be interesting.

 

The Great Northern Evil Twin Stouts have been the best stouts I've had in a year+ and it's not even close.

They are also aged for Barrel-aged for 2 years. I chuckled that they actually also said that it was Thai Thai Banana. Now I'm not sure if that is making fun of OH, an homage to OH, or it's actually just a real ingredient.

 

I only got the First one and that was amazing.

 

Anyone know if proxies are allowed for the anny release tomorrow?

 

Almond, Vanilla and Sea Salt sound amazing to me

 

Asking as someone who just moved to Brooklyn. I see the “release at 10am” but saw some posts above regarding “curbside”.
Is the release online and I choose “curbside” or do I show up before 10 and buy?
I haven’t done one of their limited releases yet, but have done local bike delivery a bunch since I moved local a few months ago.

 

My digestive system is pumped for this release.

 

Welcome to Brooklyn! 10am means that’s when the beer goes up on their curbside site for sale. They will email you when it’s ready for pickup.

 

Thanks for your help and thanks for the welcome!

 

There's no byline, but I'm certain you wrote it.

 

I think they are

 

Is there no limit on the IPAs?

 

IPAs to the moon

 

The banana glass they announced is up early if anyone was thinking of getting

 

Literally might get a case of this if they allow it and freezing the last can of it so I can drink it on my death bed.
