Other Half Adding Oyster Pale Ale & Snaps

Today, I have a new can coming soon from Other Half Brewing in Brooklyn, New York. This is Oyster, and despite the name, there are no Oysters used in the beer. Look for Oyster to be a double dry-hopped pale ale with Citra, Citra Incognito, and Centennial hops that hits 6%-AbV, and it will be packaged in 16-oz cans. Stay tuned for more details. I’ve also added in Snaps lager (4.5%-AbV, 16-oz cans).

Label Text Other Half Oyster:

“A hazy Pale Ale brewed with a hand-selected blend of hops giving notes of lychee, orange, floral, and mild pine. This pale ale does not contain oysters.”

Label Text Other Half Snaps:

“A bright, refreshing Pilsner-style lager brewed with hand-selected hops (Motueka & Saphir) that deliver delicate floral aromas and zesty citrus notes. Expect a clean finish with a lively burst of lemon-lime, perfect for easy sipping.”

About Other Half Brewing:

How we started
Sam Richardson, Matt Monahan, and Andrew Burman founded Other Half Brewing Company in Brooklyn, NY in 2014 with a simple mission: to create beer that they wanted to drink from a company that they wanted to be a part of. Their vision was to push the boundaries of beer and the culture that surrounds it by representing the “Other Half” of the industry.

How we’ve grown
Since opening our first taproom in 2014, we’ve been dedicated to building the evolution of the local brewery, and have since grown to add spaces in New York City, Washington DC, Philadelphia, the Bloomfield, and Buffalo. We invest in each of our local communities with limited-edition beer, merchandise, and experiences. We create spaces for real-world relationships to grow, and always leave room for innovation to take us in new directions.
