Other Half Brewing August 2016

For the record, it's never done discreetly.

 

The only acceptable reason to line up that early.

 

Ha, yeah. Also helps that I live in Carroll Gardens.

 

Oh man how do you manage that making it all the way to OH?

 

Ha ha, you beat me to the punch! I was going to say same thing, coolers, lawn chairs, whales, proper glassware, people have at it! It is every beer geeks right to setup a block party at beer releases.

 

In holidays in NYC (from France), I'll be coming saturday to try to get some cans, I think I'll come at 10, I hope I won't have to line up for 3 hours
Is it possible to drink on site and or visit the brewery on saturday ? I suppose it's not the best day :/ I may come tomorrow aswel

 

The taproom is open on can days, but if you can find time to go on a non can day, it is a *far* more pleasant experience.

 

Maybe it's just me and I'll probably get some hate for this, but I've never had a pleasant experience in the taproom. Its not the breweries fault, its just ALWAYS packed. Went at 5 on a Wednesday and the place was cramped. They need a larger taproom.

 

I went on a Sunday around 1:00 and there were 4 people drinking and 2 people getting fills. That was pretty pleasant.

 

That sounds like something I'd enjoy too! Was the brewery side open too?

 

Yeah, 2 people drinking in the brewery 2 people in the tap room.

 

My only experience visiting OH there was about 15 people and a dog (the dog was awesome). It was still a great experience. Can't wait to go back.

 

If I could imagine a perfect experience at OH, it would be that it would only be dogs there.

 

Yeah, if you have a dog please bring it Saturday, and get in line around 8:30 so we can hang out.

 

If you're looking to hang out at a BK brewery, go to Threes.

 

I would since my dog loves beer but I'm not gonna make it to the release this Saturday.

 

In the works!

 

Sunset at the Oasis - Sour Ale · 6.7% ABV. Foudre fermented with dates, lime zest, and Persian limes. $250 1/2. HOP THE CASBAH!

Just noticed this start popping up on BM

 

I stacks juicy NE style or more west coast. On untappd some pics look more clear and maltier, others look more hazy and juicy. Also i noticed they've been bumping up the haze on some beers - the recent hop showers seemed to be more juicy. I hope they do the same for baby diamonds. I'm guessing the veil collab will def be more of a haze bomb esp with the fruit addition. As far as the RAR collab idk some of thier beers are more west coast but some are NE. It's scary going into this thing blind
