Other Half Brewing Thread (April 2016)

the can i opened last night had the floaties in the last pour of the can.

the aroma has shifted a little, i got more of the herbal notes last night

Has anyone opened their Rum IAL?

 

I believe we are going to be trying something new tomorrow AM, which is using the new space to sell cans/bottles from. This'll be tough on our crew because the new space is full of stuff, so moving it around is gonna be an ordeal. BUT, the goal by doing this is to make the can sales go smoother, and faster, which I hope it does. Like I've said before, making the can sales easy as possible/customer satisfaction IS something the OH guys care about.

On another note, Stacks is drinking so nicely, and the bottles of Peachwood Aged are beautiful and drinking better then the draft version IMO(I'm a little biased here because I came up with the name for this beer and I'm proud of that haha)

 

when you say "the wristband guarantees the full allotment" could I get my wristband, go home, come back later in the afternoon and get my cans once the line dies down? << probably a pipedream but had to ask

 

No that just means that there is enough beer for full allotments for everyone with the wrist brand. if you leave then, in theory one person can get a full allotment. its used to gauge the line and keep expectations in check and to hopefully avoid line-cutting (once they are done giving wristbands out)

 

Enjoying an almost 2 month old can of All Green Everything. Still tasting absolutely phenomenal. Might even be less boozy tasting somehow? This beer continues to amaze me.

 

I'm debating whether to get there early (8ish) or going in the afternoon since people seem to think it won't be a huge turnout.

I remember the awful lines for oat overdose and then at night there was no limit on them

 

My guess is the Stacks won't last past 1 or 2 but there will be plenty of Hop Showers for those looking to arrive in the afternoon.

 

so, has the line started yet?

 

Already saw an Untappd check in from 6AM. NEBCO Coffee Breath. 8.6%.

 

I'll never understand this. To each their own

 

In line just before 7 & its halfway down the block. Cold but pretty nice out though.

 

JERSEYPRIDE #whalezcrew at it again. These are the people that are going to ruin it for everyone.

 

7:30. Line is just about at the end of the block.

 

In line now. It's already at the corner of the block.

 

What happened to that snow?

 

People like this give everyone a bad name; other new jerseyans, craft beer lovers, etc. #whalezcrew the type of people that make me want to leave is hobby I love oh so much.

 

In their defense the drinking is pretty rampant throughout the line this morning...

 

Whalezcdew through 15 different beers by 820am. Then these people get behind a wheel and drive back to jersey. Real COOL!

 

what's the line like now?
