    Hazy double dry hopped hop bomb.  Delicious!
    James M.

    As good as it gets when it comes to IPAs of all kinds. Glad I got to experience the orher half while in Brooklyn.

    The brewery that I tried the most beer from while in New York was Other Half Brewing. I made sure to take full advantage of two of their locations, both the Rockefeller Center and the Gowanus Neighborhood. Lucky for me, it was also the week they were celebrating the New Zealand hop harvest, so not only did I get to enjoy some great IPAs and Stouts that they already had on draft, but also some of the freshest NZ IPAs out there. In the Gowanus Neighborhood location I had: Superdelic Green Nuggets: A Double IPA with Superdelic Hops and Cascade Double Nectaron Daydream: A Double IPA with Nectaron, Milk Sugar, and Oats All Peacharine Everything: A Double IPA with Peacharine from Freestyle Hops BA Velvet Magnum VIII: A Barrel Aged Imperial Stout with Coconut, Macadamia Nuts, Vanilla, Cinnamon, Cloud Cover Coffee brewed in collaboration with Burial Beer _________

    Although this is the smaller location, we love it just as much! Cute setup inside, PLENTY of beer on draft and the bar tender crafted a flight for us after explaining what we liked. He was very helpful! Hazys are just out of this world good. Visit for sure!

    I'm not really a beer girly but I passed by with a friend and got a draft cocktail. The bartenders are really friendly and the whole atmosphere is so chill. Need to come by again with my husband it's such a great spot. They also let you bring outside food which I thought was pretty cool.

    Perfect place to stop for a sunny day pint and enjoy the views and outdoor weather. Beer, cocktails and a bar available. Bathrooms available for customers. Quite busy but we were fine standing around with our pints and then a table opened up eventually.

    "The Dreamiest" can label. Catching the iridescence just right, makes the label look 3-D!!!  Best label thus far!

    One of my favorite breweries. Great selection of beer. Staff will let you sample and you can grab some growlers to go. I get it, It's the city but parking absolutely sucks.

    I wanted to update my review. Maybe there have been some staff changes or something. But I went back to other half and had a great experience. Staff was friendly and seemed to all enjoy being there. That, in turn, made me enjoy my time. Their beer is always amazing. That much has not changed. There isn't much to say. At this point I very much look forward to going back. Between OH, Finback, and Grimm, Brooklyn really has an amazing craft beer community. I take back all my negative remarks OH. You are now part of my happy place. Go there. Right now. And have a couple cold beers. ENJOY!!!

    I really enjoyed their cider, and went back a day later and it was sold out. I guess everyone else did, too! They have guest ciders and wine for non-beer drinking folk and the pizza we ordered from next door was great. Good ambiance, loved sitting outside and taking in the views. I recommend!

    Other Half makes some of my favorite hazy IPAs and it's always a treat when cans make their way out to the West Coast. I had never been to one of their taprooms and knew I'd be indulging in one (or seven) beers at OH on my most recent visit to the city. The location and space are pretty unassuming but still modern and clean. I really dug the more industrial vibe of this particular taproom as it gave the true drinking at the brewery experience. We tried a bit of everything in tasters over the course of a few hours and didn't have a bad beer the entire time. These beers are great in cans, but something about a fresh keg pour brought my already-favorite beers to a whole different level. Friendly door man and staff. Nice crowd, but not overcrowded on a Sunday night. I wish these guys had a spot in LA!

    Draft Beer
    Mike S.

    Only complaint I have is parking! But I was able to find street parking, right out front. The beer is fantastic! Great tap room! If you are a craft beer aficionado like myself then OH is a must. Plenty of tables through out to enjoy a few pints with friends. Don't forget to take home some cans. Great crafts. Never had a bad beer from them.

    Given they don't really have food, anyone know if you can bring your own in?

    Hell yeah you can.

    Has anyone visited on a Monday afternoon? Is it typically more mellow than an evening or the weekend?

    I've been there on a weekday at about 3pm and the place was full but not overly crowded or uncomfortable. We were able to find a table.

    Are pets allowed in the tasting room?

    Yes, I've seen dogs in there, not a problem.

    Are there special holiday hours today (4th it July)?

    We are open from 12:00pm to 10:00pm!

    Where is the best place to park? Can't use the subway. Tuesday around 5 PM

    Park on Lorraine St by the self storage.

    Why is there long lines around the block sometimes at this place, I've always wondered?

    It's for releases of their canned beer. They only sell cans of their extremely popular beer at the brewery and only in small batches. Each style might only get released once a year (or less) hence the huge 4 hour lines. Can releases are announced on… 

    How do can releases work? For example; certain days and time? limits and line length? Thanks!

    They are announced on their Instagram page (with dates and times and sometimes limits). Sometimes limits are based on the release (i.e. Green Diamonds may have a 2 four pack limit). As for lines, can be several hours to none at all...again based on…

Our group was…read moreordering rounds of drinks and food throughout the night, and while most of the staff were great, unfortunately one staff member really put a damper on the experience. When we arrived, there were a few tables near our group, two of which had reserved signs on them. We mistakenly assumed they were part of our reservation and put our jackets on the chairs. Totally fair that we were wrong, but instead of simply letting us know, this staff member came over and said, "I need everyone to get their shit off the table. This isn't yours." He then very dramatically grabbed cleaner and a cloth, heavily sighing while wiping down tables that we hadn't actually used - we had only put jackets on the chairs. Throughout the night, he repeatedly came back to remind us that the tables weren't ours and told us not to stand too close to them, eventually putting up a rope to section them off. There were several other large groups upstairs, so it already felt unnecessarily hostile for what was clearly just an honest misunderstanding. Later, we had ordered food and were eating and chatting at the table we did have. Without asking if we were finished, he picked up a plate that still had two dumplings on it along with a drink that was about half full and took them away to be dumped. Then, when one of my friends went downstairs to order another drink, the same staff member cut him off before he could even order and said, "I'm only doing beer. If you want a cocktail, you need to find another bartender." I'm not sure if he was the manager, but the attitude throughout the night was incredibly off-putting. We were a large group of paying customers there to celebrate a birthday, regularly ordering food and drinks, yet his interactions consistently made us feel like we were an inconvenience rather than guests. I do want to emphasize that every other bartender and staff member we interacted with was wonderful, friendly, warm, and welcoming. Unfortunately, this one person's behavior was such a consistently negative presence that it really affected the overall experience.

On the positive side, it's a very spacious bar and I saw board games stacked up, which tells me it can be a fun place to hang out. Now to the not as great. I sat at the bar and after looking at their cocktail menu, I ordered a French 75. You can imagine my surprise when I was served a drink in a single rocks glass which is basically what you'd serve an old fashion or other cocktail in. A French 75 needs to be in a flute. And at first, I thought maybe they don't have any flutes. Which still perplexed me because why have a French 75 on the menu if you don't have the right glassware. But I looked behind the bar and lo and behold, saw a flute. So not sure what that was about. The drink itself was ok. The other weird thing is that when I ordered, she rang it up and handed me the handheld device to pay. Since I was sitting at the bar, I'd expect to at least be asked if I wanted to open a tab or to just wait. Payment before the drink was made just rubbed me different. And of course, gratuity was tacked on, also rubbed me wrong. Because while I planned to tip, adding your own tip automatically to 1 drink is icky.

I'm not vegan, but I like places I can enjoy with vegans. I had the not-for-vegans Cheddar Brat with Carmelized Onions and side of fries. The brat is on the small side but very flavorful and satisfying with the bretzel bun and stone ground mustard. The Carmelized onions were nice, but not neccessary for flavor. If I were to come back, I would just go for two brats on Bretzel buns and skip the side fries. The fries are natural cut, but likely frozen or double fried, which makes them taste more like oily starch than fried potato. The draft cider was cold and did well outside on the wood slat table with the help of the sturdy coaster. Bonus- dogs can hang with you outside, but need to stay outside while you step inside to order at the bar. Food took about 15min for prep and delivery around 5pm on a Wednesday.

When we left, there was a chaotic stroller party happening in the back. The brewery filled up pretty quick on a Saturday afternoon, with one slow moving angry woman pouring beers, it took awhile to get a beer. If the woman behind the bar had provided better customer service, I might have left a higher scoring review. I really wanted to like this place. Will I be back, probably not.
