About
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.
When entering a beer, please enter "Hop Showers" instead of "DDH Hop Showers" or "Hop Showers - DDH".

The Gingerman, NYC tap: pours copper to gold with a foamy head. Fruit sugar and yeast. Taste is moderately bitter with real farmhouse elements. Kind of dry. Not bad but not all that crazy.

Growler, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma braids out loads of piney hops, some weedy notes and biscuity malt to back. Flavour is massively hoppy, with piney hops, some herbal notes, and just enough biscuity malt to back. Super hoppy but well-balanced. Excellent.

Growler, pours a hazy copper orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out resinous hops, with light herbal and skunky notes. Flavour is robust, with loads of herbal and resinous hops, some pot-like notes and just enough biscuity malt to back. A hop bomb for sure but in good taste. Excellent.

Super hazy orange and golden coloured body with a thinnish, single centimetre tall white head. Aroma of fresh hops, pine, resin, alcohol and a pleasant malt backing. Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and herbal hops up front with a large malt presence and a good deal of light fruits, as well. Aftertaste shows a pleasant balance of hops and malt with more of a pungent pine and floral hop note than anything else, but a nice sweetness on the end as well. Overall, a very nice APA with a great look as well, and showing well tied up against the Northern Thai food. I sampled this pint on draught for US$8,00 at Pok Pok in Brooklyn, New York on 19-June-2015.
