Other Half Brewing Thread (Jan 2016)

First page

 

Hahah thanks.

 

@MosaicDrops I know about the "first page" but for can releases they start selling at 10am. Which is not on the first page.

So, someone more helpful, when do doors open?

 

Haha no problem. I'm just being a dick today. The regulars in this thread do a great job keeping information updated on the dot.

 

Yikes

 

The first page had your answer though. Today isn't a "can release," yesterday was. They just have leftovers. There's no indication that hours would for some reason be different from normal.

 

Thanks @berto714 I had a feeling that was the case but was hoping to sneak in early

 

About 20 in line now. Wonder if they will institute a limit.

 

Soo, anyone have any updates on what's left and if they are doing any growler fills of Oat? I know they tweeted that had 6 cases left but that was at open.

 

2x 4-pack of Oat Overdose limit which is slightly odd considering it was unlimited last night.

Also, female bartender was already agitated 6 customers in.

 

Thanks for the update! How long ago was this?

 

What else is new? She always seems agitated and very unwelcoming. I forgot you cant be nice and deliver a solid customer experience if you work/live in Brooklyn...

 

12PM. Probably sold out of Oat Overdose by now.

 

It sold out by ~12:15. Thought they might drop it to 1 4-pack each, which would have given everyone in line a 4-pack, but they did not. About 25 people left on line when they sold out.

Plenty of IPA and the stout left, plus they still had the new tekus. No growler fills for Oat.

 

Check their twitter. They do a few updates through release days with cases left.

 

She's seriously the worst

 

She's always been pleasant to me when I've asked for a growler fill or a beer. Maybe it's you guys.

 

Does anyone have any idea why it takes so long to get through the line on release days? It always seems to take me 15-30 seconds to order and pay (with credit card), so I'm curious why it takes so long to filter through the line. I was about ~300th in line (according to the guy giving bracelets), so it seems like with two pay stations I should have gotten through faster than 2 hr 45 minutes. Was one of the points of sale down for part of the day or something? Or maybe people that pay with cash slow it down? Or is something else at play here?

I had a good time waiting in line for the most part, especially when the cars were towed, so this isn't a complaint as much as genuine puzzlement.

 

I wish that was the case for me, yesterday they had an issue while swiping my card and now i have THREE separate charges for the beer i picked up. I only signed once so hopefully this will be easy to fix

 

I'm at OT now,I was able to snag 3 packs of OT IPA (all I wanted) and we've been out in space is still available. Not a bad line at all
