Other Half Brewery Thread (December 2015)

Just got on line now. To the end of the first house. Thought it would be less so must be moving slow.

Wearing a NY Ranger hat if anyone wants a handshake tick.

All done! Line is shorter now, probably 15 minute wait.

 

Waited about an hour. Not bad. Now to pack and bring back to California. Wish we could have gotten more.

 

Line like 10-15 people now. Moving quick

 

Looking forward to this!

 

Oh is anyone going to the Mekelburgs / Other Half dinner pairing? I got a reservation.

6 beers with 6 courses: http://www.mekelburgs.com/?f_checkoutResult=success#!events-shop/ciu8

 

Opened my can of Simcoe yesterday and shared with the Beach City Brewery brewers/guys. Easily our favorite between the others bottles that were brought and shared. But still liking Mosaic as my favorite of the single hop cans.

 

my guess is it will last for a bit. they had 3/4 of a pallet out there, not sure if there is more, but you should be alright i think...

 

I'll be up there in an hour or so. I'll let you know how it looks. Check their twitter also. They are good about doing quantity updates throughout the day.

 

Just went and picked up 2 of each. No line and plenty left. Should be good for another couple hours at least. Taproom line is long tho.

 

Also left a bit ago. No line. Got a growler and 3 age and 2 diamonds.

 

Had some We've Been Out Here In Orbit. So damn good. Word from the long haired dude -- don't know his name -- is the next release will be Green Diamonds and Super Fun. It'll be nice to stock up on some GD, but I was hoping for more single hops. Asked about the bottles. He says we may get some before New Years. Just hope it's not when I'm out of town!

 

Baby diamonds is great! All the other half goodness without getting shitfaced after round two.

 

beer left ?

 

Really enjoyed the can of Baby Diamonds I had. Would love to see this more often!

 

Holy shit this is amazing...i'd intravenously have this all summer long...its so unlike the usual dogshit session ipas...what a home run

 

Went smooth today, the weather made the 40 min wait feel like nothing. Sadly my 4-pack of BD turned out to be just a 3.5-pack as one of the cans was only half full when I got home, with the rest of it soaking the inside of my backpack. No visible signs of damage so I'm assuming it was a bad can that didn't hold the pressure. Anyone else had this happen? Good beer though! One of the, if not the, best sessions IPAs I've had.

 

My bag got soaked too. Haven't found the culprit yet.

 

Was just talking about this today. Only cans I've ever had break in shipment were OH cans (twice) and had one soaked bag on the subway home. No clue why, but frustrating

 

I had that happen with a hop showers can. Got home and picked the case up and it was soaked. One can leaked and soaked the cardboard. Had a few that didn't leak but haven't felt fully pressurized.
