Other Half Brewing February 2017

60-70% Chance of DDH DMD being available
85% Chance on the DDH Simcoe
90% Chance of Green Diamonds
100% Chance of something delish being available for fills, maybe even DMD.....

 

I think SGE is OHs best lower abv hoppy beer but would love to see something like microgreen canned in the summer so I could crush cans on the beach all day without getting that "double IPA stumbling, stuttering, eye drooping effect" by 3pm!

 

Does Boogie count as a "hoppy beer" if it's a hoppy Kolsch? Because it is damned good IMO

 

Forgot about that one. Def a contender. Great summer beer but I still think SGE has the most flavor for the abv. However, it would probably be easier to drink more BS over SGe.

 

Talking about Kolsh, I really loved the Finback collab Lime Green Galaxies, I'd be happy to see something along those lines again

 

I love Boogie Board Stuntz. Perfect beer to drink right out of the can.

 

And you can also buy the world's most hipster hat along with the beer!

 

Speaking of summer time brews, I would love a return of City Slickers since I missed that release and I'm still kicking myself over it.

 

God yes, and No Layups. I'd wait 24 hours for that release.

 

Lemme get that Grits n Greens.

Also the other creature comforts collab (The King's Ransom, baltic porter) was so good.

 

Growler fills are always available and they counter pressure them. Which means they will last anywhere up to at least 2 weeks

 

why does it seem like trillium is the only brewery that has DDH beers sub 7%, is it something about the brewing process that makes it difficult to double dry hop a low abv beer or what is it? i would love a low abv DDH from OH, also city slickers is the best

 

They'll last way, way longer than that.

 

that summer was truly the golden age of OH collabs

 

Of course, but I can never really wait that long to drink them

 

true, and if cans are sold out that is my plan of action. I'm not too worried that I won't get DMD, however I would like some cans, esp if friend is willing to pass by (don't want him to leave empty handed)

 

i bought Grits N Green cause i felt bad that the pallet was almost entirely full lol. im so glad i did. it was incredible. everytime i go to a release i ask them if theyre gonna can it again. Their response is always the same. "oh my god that was a great beer!" and i go "i knowwwwww!" and then i take my cans and be on my way lol.
i know it was a collab, but i would love to see that beer again

 

Easily one of my favorite OH beers in recent memory. I would love to have this again for the summer. Tropical, crisp, and easy drinking.

 

Lime Green Galaxies was definitely my favorite lower ABV beer OH has put out. Would love to see that come back.

 

You can DDH any beer. However, the lower the alcohol for a beer that you would typically DDH means less malt backbone so essentially if someone DDH'd a 4.5 session ale all you would taste is lupulin power. Most breweries DDH higher alcohol IPAs and DIPAs because the grain bill helps balance out the insane hop blast. Plus cost of DDH makes it an enticing method for higher alcohol beers which people seek out.
