Other Half Brewing

Are Boat cans 12 ounces or 16 ounces?

 

Yes.

 

Wondering same thing on GD. At twice the ABV it should be more expensive, how much I guess depends on impact of canning costs.

I just hope these "special releases" don't turn into a shit show. We know how people get whipped into a frenzy when words like "special release", "limited", "barrel aged" get associated with a beer. Superfun is a very good beer for what it is, but one of MANY good to great beers OH has produced, certainly doesn't warrant any lines. Last summer beers like this were coming out every week and anyone could show up at the tap room and drink them to their hearts delight.

Wish OH all the success and money that comes their way, great beer and great place.

 

Well said. The price point is definitely concerning, the GD 4 packs are gonna be like $20 if this is any indication...but still happy OH is ready to start canning. I'll be there tomorrow to grab a few 4 packs, hoping its not a complete shitshow over there for a middle of the road OH beer but its probably gonna happen.

 

Good luck, enjoy! Let us know how it turns out.

 

Carton uses Iron Heart constantly so I'm sure their canning price is much lower than the one time canning OH did.

I just don't seee how $3.50 for a 16oz serving is pricey. Esp for something that is probably only going to be canned once.
Sure if this became their main production cans distributed to stores then $14 might be a little steep for 4 cans.

Are you guys telling me you wouldn't pay $5 (+tip) at a bar for a pint of Superfun?

 

Def here what you're saying @Kanger but comparing bar prices to pick up at the brewery doesn't seem like a good comparison. Mark-ups at stores/bars are a given, but when you get cans directly from the brewery we should be seeing much lower prices. IMO of course!

 

Ha we were typing at the same time

 

I'm talking about tap room prices though.

12oz pour of Superfun in the tap room was $5. 16oz pour was $6. (these were last summer's prices)

64 oz growler of Superfun was $14.

So $14 for 4 16oz cans is the same price they have always charged for Superfun.

And $4 for 16oz can is cheaper than a 12oz pour!

Here's a menu pic I took last July:

 

That is impressive that you have that picture still. If GD, SF and SGE were on now would be on my way there now! Ah, the good old days!

I hear what you are saying on prices, but as others have said you need to compare apples to apples.

 

Yeah NYC prices can be ridiculous compared NJ prices. I think Torst charges $5 for an 8oz pour of Boat. I'm also assuming that OH pays a lot more in rent in Brooklyn than Carton does in Atlantic Highlands.

I do agree with you that session IPA should be cheaper. That's why I love Founder's Brewer's Dozen 15 packs of All Day since it's so cheap. But since Superfun is the same price growler/can ounce, then I have no complaints.

Yeah forgot that Wheat Wine came out that long ago. Here is the menu from the first time I visited soon after the tap room opened:

 

What are the exact dates for both of those pictures?

 

Definitely miss those earlier days of almost all IPAs. Think I am going to skip tomorrow and make trip on Thursday. If they still have cans, great. If not, I can just get a growler of Superfun!

 

June 20th and July 20th.

 

Anyone gojng today? If so could you let me know whats on tap? I want to drive in from Long Beach, but dont want to travel an hour each way if its the same stuff as last week.

Thanks!
