Other Half Brewery Thread (Oct 2015)

The train keeps a rollin... Good for the OH crew to keep cranking out the beer and keeping the masses happy! People may actually sleep on the sidewalk for the Street Green.

 

I anticipate this one drawing a big crowd.

 

Im in heaven.

 

Might be a good one to drop the limits so people can't come far and wide scooping up cases.

 

Is the El Dorado done also?

Well you see, a lot of people come with significant others to double down on the order.

 

Yeah, mules suck!

 

Jeez, people went HAM on the El Dorado, I honestly thought I would be able to get more later on in the week if I was really digging it tonight.

 

One score, which I saw, was for 10 cases. I find it hard to believe these customers were going to drink all this beer.

 

Drank 2 cans already..it's Saturday leave me alone.

El Dorado is very good but four 4-packs will suffice...in fact I will be giving plenty of cans to friends during the World Series festivities I'll be holding this week.

Who the hell needs more than a case of beer (let alone 10???)?

 

I think they had every intention to resale the beer. They looked rather opportunistic.

 

Oh absolutely, theres no way anyone needs that much beer. I was standing in line and wondering which mule owned a bar somewhere to resale.

 

Its upsetting that people buy 10 cases to either re-sell or flip in trades, but i dont think there is any way to police it.

 

Bushwick Finefare?

 

Trading is one thing, but buying enough to supply several bars is a bit ridiculous and unfair to the people who actually want to enjoy the beer and not make a profit off it.

 

Yeah very little to do to police and an unfortunate side effect of these distribution methods. The only thing to do is give a "WTF are you doing, we are here just to enjoy beer" type of stare. Which they received from pretty much everyone, staff included.

 

El Dorado is DEEEEELICIOUS!

 

There is no evidence that they are trying to make a profit from the beer. People make pilgrimages to VT all the time and buy similar quantities, much of which they bring back to trade, share, or hold on to. Unless they are pulling a Fine Fare and buying to resell at a mark-up, I have no problem with what they are doing. As long as OH sets limits, as long as they're bringing the people to buy the beer, good on 'em. If you want to make sure you get yours, get there early.

Or, just stop worrying about the cans and head out to any number of bars in NYC that regularly has OH flowing through their taps.

 

Missed out on AGE, maxed out on El Dorado. I don't normally max, but thought I'd send some homies a few cans of Brooklyn's finest.

El Dorado is nice.

I'm already in line for Street Green... with tres burros.

 

Im not worried, I got there early and got mine.

Yea, but if you go to VT, you can get Heady anywhere and its made year round. I have no issues with anyone that wants to trade stuff, hell, Id trade a 4 pack of AGE for a 4 pack of Heady. But to walk out with 10 cases... thats sure to raise some eyebrows.
