Other Half (2021)

Yeah, I was asking more for the beers. I'm not sure anyone expecting a full-blown event. It would be nice

 

Green City was announced August 18th last year and the cans came out September 3rd. So presumably sometime in August?

 

In all honesty if they keep brewing ACE the way this 6/29 batch is drinking, I'll be fine with that. I saw someone mention Canal St and I tried it Sunday and thought it was good. Got a 4 pack but haven't opened it yet. Also got the Solar Showers and really enjoyed that.

 

Yea not to mention that it probably takes quite a bit of logistics to organize all the breweries, and given that nobody really knew what would be around the corner 2-3 months later, I doubt it could be pulled off.

 

Had Hop the Yard (Harlem Hops collab) at taproom today, very tasty and not melony at all. I think Strata (berry) dominates, if that's your thing.

I realize I'm a week late on this (was out of town) but Coconut Latte on draft is super coffee forward (which I like) but typical OH sweet (don't love). Anyone on the fence should get a draft pour regardless. It's a delicious beer in modest amounts.

 

So I heard elsewhere that Green City isn't happening? Not sure if that's 100% true but given the timing of Mosaic Week that seems reasonable.

 

Yeah I got a taster on top and I enjoyed the amount of coffee but couldn't do more than that because it was a bit too sweet for me, def worth a taster though

 

Yeah the 6/29 batch of All Citra takes me back to the OG. Best batch by far this year. Really great hop juice

 

This is a thing apparently.

 

Another thumbs up for Mylar Dust. Mosaic is the dominant hop flavor, if that’s your thing. It’s mine.

 

Mosaic Dream is the odd man of the bunch right? No lactose in both of these Mosaic Week offerings?

 

More Mosaic also doesn't have lactose

 

If TDH DDM is still available go get it. Hands down the best OH offering I’ve had since 2019.

 

Is there any differentiable feature between the two varieties of Mosaic Dream (HAAS and YCH)? They look the same to me. Or they're the same beer...

 

The differentiator is on the date stamp.

 

At Centre Street, impressed there were already ~20 people drinking flights in the taproom when I arrived

Doing the flight featuring the haas/ych ddh mosaic dreams, tdh dmcd, tmd, melcher streetc and cannibal machine. All pretty solid, the triple isn’t really my thing but it’s good. Would say the ych is a surprise standout for me, nice difference vs. the haas with some more citrusy/tropical notes and a nicely lingering finish. The tdh dmcd is creamy berry juice, dig it. Cannibal machine is just juice, like a lighter fruit smoothie no chunks in sight

 

Any opinions on the Past and Present Wit? Thinking of getting a 4-pack from Threes. Thanks.

 

I had a pour of it and thought it was light and easy drinking. I don't drink too many wheat beers but I enjoyed it.

 

Thanks.

 

Anyone had the new batch of DDH ACE? It’s brewed in Brooklyn, right? I saw it was posted on both the Brooklyn and the dc instagram. Not sure if they brewed 2 separate batches or if one just got shipped over.

also I’ve been avoiding galaxy like the plague since a bad batch of space diamonds. Diamond reflection sounds nice tho, maybe the other hops will help push it into safe territory.
