Description
In 2014, Sam Richardson, Matt Monahan and Andrew Burman founded Other Half Brewing Company, a local brewery in New York City with a simple mission: to create beers that they wanted to drink from a company that they wanted to be a part of. Their vision was to build a passionate team that brewed great beers in the state of New York—done so with effort and thoughtfulness—to represent the “Other Half” of the industry. Today, Other Half craft beers in their Brooklyn brewery and are dedicated to collaborating with breweries both in New York as well as across the world in an effort to constantly move the industry forward while elevating the craft. The Other Half team believes that local breweries play an important role in their communities which is why they partner with these other likeminded brewers and brands in local nabes across the country and the world—but always return to their home state of New York and their Brooklyn taproom.
PLEASE NOTE: As of 2023, Other Half no longer markets beers as "Double Dry Hopped". Instead, the DDH version is now listed as just the beer name, and the non-DDH version has been retired.

Keg at the Ginger Man - NYC. Pours cloudy gold with a creamy, white head. Ripe citrus fruits in the nose, pine, orange, pale bread. Medium to heavy sweet flavor, thick and chewy, with definite alcohol character, citric hops, oily pine, hay. Full bodied, chewy, with fine carbonation. Hot finish, quite boozy, with some spicy pines ripe orange, bready sugars. Hints of onion and diesel. Quite heavy-handed overall. Wouldn’t want to drink more than a small sample of this one.

Keg at the Ginger Man - NYC. Pours lightly hazy gold with a creamy white head. The nose has some crackery pale malts, grain, suggestions of tangerine. Odd flavor, muddled and unpleasant, with nips of plastic, oily grass, grain husk. Light bodied with fine, soft carbonation. Lightly astringent on the finish, more husky grains, lemon rind, harsh grass. Something must be off here, old keg or something perhaps - this beer in front of me is really not good at all. (23 September 2015, score: 2.3)
Can in London. Definitely a bit better than on draft, but the hop character does seem somewhat neutered. Pours hazy gold with a creamy, white head. Mellow dry pale malts in the nose, some lemon and tangerine. Light sweet flavour with suggestions of biscuits, lemon rind, pine needles, tangerine, peach. Light bodied with average carbonation. Pretty clean on the finish, with mild bready pale malts, more citrus fruits, low bitterness, some pine and hay. Pretty drinkable stuff. (23 March 2016, score: 3.4)

Keg at the Ginger Man - NYC. Pours lightly hazed yellow with a thick, while cream head. Nice peachy aroma with nips of brett. Light sweet flavor, dry and a little woody, musty, some lemon peel, damp hay, grapefruit pith, white grape skin. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes dry, with further musty brett character, bitter hay, grain husk, citrus rind. Not bad overall. Fairly refreshing.
