Other Half Brewing October 2016

Yup. Just got mine.

 

For me, like woah > street green.

 

I never tried Street Green but this one lives up to all the hype it had. Fantastic brew.

 

Really hard to compare since we're going off memory, but factoring that in (as well as palette change) Like Whoa is just as good, if not better.

 

Like Whoa is amazing. It really does highlight the best from both breweries. Do I think it's extraordinarily better than some of the recent stuff Other Half is putting it? I don't know, personally I might put it just behind DDH DMD and Space Diamonds. Either way, awesome beer and I'm happy I got some.

 

Agreed. It's really good. Like, really really good.

 

This.

 

Worth waking up for, good lord. Honestly more Trillium forward than I was expecting... Not sure if it's cuz I was sick all week, but I was getting tons of that bubblegum yeast thing, which I totally dig. Perfect in it's green state, but I still can't wait to sit on some cans for a week or two. Overall this biz is JOOOOSE!!!

 

Hey guys just wanted to say that Mosaic is tasting pretty peak right now. Just like I remember the first cans.

 

I was just wondering about this, last week was grassy, changed from last week? Thanks for update.

 

A couple four packs fit perfectly in the basket of a citibike, but given how easily their flimsy cans seem to spring a leak, I got pretty nervous every time the bike hit a little bump

 

The staff, particularly the manager who hand out wrist bands (Andrew?), did a great job today. The releases seem to keep getting smoother each week. Glad to see they take the criticism to heart and make adjustments. When I got into the warehouse it was mobbed and nobody could get out. By the time I got my cans I thought I would have to fight through, but he started holding people at the door and telling them which line to go to. It made everything MUCH easier. The line was almost fully around the block and I think everyone was served in under an hour and a half.

 

Decided to just get a glass at the brewery instead of waiting in line. Great choice in my opinion. Left disappointed compared to the hype surrounding this one. Reaffirms my usual decision to spend less time driving to treehouse or trillium and back in a temperature controlled car without the assholes cutting lines.

 

This brewery is incredibly well run.

 

I guess that depends on where you live. Trillium is 275 miles and 4.5 hours for me. So round trip plus stopping for gas would be a minimum 10 hours and over 500 miles. Whereas I left my house at 4:30 this morning and was home by 11:00. Waiting on line isn't as bad as some people make it out to be. I usually have some good conversations with people or just enjoy the time spacing out. I'm sure I'd be much more aggravated with jackass drivers than people cutting in line.

 

I remember a time when this narrative was only EVER true for once-a-year barrel-aged stout releases. Ah, how the times have changed.

 

Like Whoa is seriously amazing. I literally cannot stop drinking it. I already wish I had more.

 

It's certainly improved your spelling of the beer.

Seriously, I agree. It's great. Need to fit this can on your avatar.

 

which variation do you guys think is the best i definitely think the black label version is my favorite and then probably the purple is in second place

 

So anyone know if growler fills will be on at the brewery again tomorrow? They run out today?
