    Came here to say I popped my last bottle of OH Brett Saison last night. Always had been a huge fan and wanted to see what a little time would do. The beer was never particularly tart to begin with, but it finally had a nice little tart bite this time around. Beautiful soft carbonation, impressive and gentle head retention with superb lacing. Felt like some of the early sweetness of that beer had died down but maybe slightly past it's prime. Idk. Beer. Cheers!

    Maybe add https://www.instagram.com/otherhalfnyc/ instead of the taproom as they update this more frequently and announce can releases on there as well. Thanks for starting these monthly updates!

    I'm going to be in the city the weekend of the 13th - 15th and was wondering what OH is like on a Sat? Will it be crazy packed? Is it worth it to go in and have some pours and grab some growlers? Just don't want to wait in line for hours.

    Should be fine. Dont think there is a can release that weekend so there should be no lines.

    This page helps a bit figuring out who is who. I've stupidly been confusing Matt and Andrew.
