Other Half Brewing Company |
|
Brooklyn, NY. Pete - This brewery is in the Red Hook section of Brooklyn - basically the southwest corner. There's a small dog-friendly taproom that offers full pours as well as 4oz pours if you're looking to sample. They had 20 beers on tap when I was there. They have IPAs, stouts, and sours - at least when I was there. I went on a Saturday mid-afternoon, so it was extremely busy. Hard to move honestly, but not super difficult to get a drink. They also sell cans from their brewery, and tend to have 5-10 options available. Definitely worth a trip.
Other Half All Riwaka Everything
Imperial New England IPA - 8.5% ABV Pete Pictured in the middle. Apparently I'm a big Riwaka hops guy. I am OK with that being my thing. Super dry peppery IPA. Love it. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Other Half Deep Orbit Cygnus
Imperial Stout - 15.5% ABV Pete Tastes like Butterfingers with a little bit of Snickers mixed in. Sounds gimmicky, but it's quite amazing. There's also some booziness to it, but that's fine at this outrageous ABV. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Other Half Double Citra Daydream
Imperial New England IPA - 8.3% ABV Pete Pictured on the left. Tons of citrus flavor and super creamy. The creaminess is a bit much for me, but the amount of citrus in this vastly outweighs that complaint. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Other Half Double Dry Hopped Mosaic + Motueka
Imperial New England IPA - 8.5% ABV Pete Excellent. Medium to high creaminess with a dry resinous hop flavor. The flavor level is very high on this one. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Other Half Double Dry Hopped Mylar Bags
Imperial New England IPA - 8.5% ABV Pete Pictured on the right. Tons of creamy melon flavor in this one. Excellent. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Other Half Double Mmm...Fruit With Pineapple, Guava, And Coconut
Berliner Weisse - 7% ABV Pete This tastes like a cocktail you want to drink on the beach. I don't know how, but it tasted like lime to me. Probably would be even better with a salt rim. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Other Half Forever Ever
Session IPA - 4.7% ABV Pete This is a damn good session beer. A little mild after drinking their doubles and triples all day, but this still has plenty of flavor, lots of citrus. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Other Half HDHC Triple Mosaic Daydream
Imperial New England IPA - 10.5% ABV Pete Pictured on the left. Pretty flavorful, lots of creaminess, but too sweet for me. Just too much ABV for an IPA. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |

Other Half Syrup Caddy
Berliner Weisse - 7.4% ABV Pete This tastes like waffles with a slightly tart blueberry syrup. Given that I love that, I enjoyed this thoroughly. Pictured on the right. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Other Half Triple Cream
Imperial New England IPA - 10% ABV Pete I expected this to be too sweet at this ABV, but it wasn't. One of my favorite IPA's. Pretty creamy (hard not to be when there are lots of oats), citrusy, and dank. The dankness slightly outweighs the citrus, which is my preference, but the balance is there too. Dangerous at this alcohol level. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Other Half Triple Mylar Daydream
Imperial NEIPA - 11.3% ABV Pete This was my first Other Half beer (8/17/19). I've heard great things, and I'm sure they make great beers, but this was not one of them. I can tell there's some good citrusy flavor in the background, but at 11.3%, it's incredibly hard to hide the booziness and the sweetness you need to get the beer that strong. At least, it's hard with an IPA, and this was kind of what you'd expect. Too sweet, too boozy, but you can tell there's good flavor there. Untappd ratings are highly inflated, probably because it's hard to get. Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's |
