Other Half Brewing Thread (May 2016)

Weird, I'm missing my first ever AGE release on Saturday because I'll be in SF and was planning to visit Cellarmaker that day instead. The beer world is a small one.

 

I keep seeing it written as gospel that this Saturday is AGE + Omnipollo/TH Collab...where has this been confirmed?

 

I actually looked after posting that... nothing confirmed by OH yet, I don't think. I must have read that in the April thread somewhere.

 

Only by word of mouth. Not "officially" via OH post on IG or FB.

 

No announcement because everyone is still waiting on the Omnipollo/TH collab. We were supposed to get it last week in kegs but it's been pushed back and OH has told us they're waiting to announce.

 

What are the odds if this beer isn't ready or got fucked up somehow, that they would have something else ready to can for this weekend? Has something like this ever happened before with Other Half?

 

What could possibly have gone wrong putting blocks of white chocolate in a beer?

 

Got to OH today at 5:15pm to try AOE and Kings Ransom. There were maybe 6 total people at the brewery, amazing! I guess no one goes unless there are cans? A bit crazy to me...

 

I love going on non release days. Its so relaxed and nice.

 

Anyone know if those collab kegs are still going strong? 4 oz pours makes me wonder if they only got a sixtel of each.

 

Unless you need canz bro, it's the best time to go. My best experience was last summer on a Wednesday afternoon - I was literally the only person in the place, chatting up the barkeep about Mac Demarco (just BK things). Got to try the whole lineup.

 

Starting at 10 am this weekend we are releasing Beer Table Table Beer a 5.1% all brettanomyces fermented IPA with Citra, Galaxy, Amarillo and Mosaic, it's a fruit bomb! This beer is part of the @beertable series of Table Beer's. We also have All Green Everything, our 10.5% imperial IPA with Amarillo, Motueka, Citra and Mosaic. Table Beer is six 16.9 oz bottles per person, $12 per bottle and All Green Everything is three 4 packs per person, $20 per 4 pack. Again, please don't leave trash in the neighborhood.

 

Sounds fantastic. I wounder if something did happen to the collab...

 

Yea, I was thinking the same thing. The Table Beer sounds pretty great though.

 

Kind of sucks the total haul will be so low for this release. Wonder if that will effect the turnout.

 

It really does. Pretty excited for it.
If I remember correctly in last months thread a few people did say they asked at the brewery and the collab and AGE were next... but who knows

 

6 750s and 3-4 packs is a low haul?

 

Was also supposed to be at a Proletariat event this past weekend, but don't believe it ever showed.

 

Is that a 750 or one of those 16.9oz bottle they typically use. If they are 750s then the haul should be pretty good.
