Other Half Brewing (June 2016)

When does Other Half typically announce their can release information? Can't find anything official on Saturday's releases.

 

Should be in the next couple days, i think they announced the last release the tuesday before it.

 

I tried City Slickers the other night and was not a big fan. I never had the cans, but can anyone who has had both batches comment on the difference between the two batches, if any? Maybe it's just not my style IPA, but I was expecting to really like it based on the buzz.

 

City Slickers tastes like liquid Arizona, and I mean that in the best way possible.

 

I had one of my cans this weekend (kept in the fridge since purchase) and it tasted as good as the first day as best I can remember. It's a unique beer for sure (not that I've had many with fruit like prickly pear added). I too am curious if the new batch is different.

 

Also had a can over the weekend and it was still excellent.

 

No rest for the weary....

 

Higher limits too at 1 case pp per beer.

 

A case PP per beer! Wow. Say what you will about how exciting these beers are(n't), that is something to celebrate.

 

Loving the can art for SGE and BBS

 

Also, a little easier on the wallet per 4 pk than lately

 

How's BBS ? Worth it?

 

Wonder if the case pp limit is because they're expecting a higher yield? Hoping this is another walk up at 10:45 with no line and walk out with a case situation. Hoping to grab a mixed case of the lower abv beers to hold onto for the fourth of july weekend, a nice change of pace for sure.

 

i hope so, but now that sunday brunch released in jersey, i think the 5am crew will be back.

 

I think its because they will not be in much demand and they dont have the space to store them. If the last release with didnt sell out the day of I cant see this one.

 

Annoyed to be missing this one. Lower ABV beers for the summer heat sounds nice to me. Hopefully something is left later in the day Sunday.

 

I'm pretty sure the higher limits are more because they don't like not selling out of their beers the first day. They need to keep fueling the hype so we all keep thinking of OH as an "ISO ISO ISO!" brewery esp. because the NYC beer scene is more crowded than ever.

 

Not really.

 

BBS I'll give you but SGE isn't exactly going to win any design awards...it's like...just a yellow label.

 

It is just a yellow label, and I'm pretty sure the award will go to it. Wanna bet?
