Other Half Brewing Company rockets onto the scene in Carroll Gardens, New York, with the confidence of a man who knows his way around a mash tun. The taproom flaunts a fully exposed brew system—nothing hidden behind a curtain, just steel, steam and the occasional sigh of satisfied hops. It’s a transparency stunt that would make a magician blush, and it lets you watch the alchemy that turns water, malt and yeast into something that actually tastes good.
The roster of beers reads like a mixtape of ambition: regular collaborations and guest brews keep the lineup fresh, while a rotating sour tap offers flavors you wouldn’t expect to find on a street corner (think tropical fruit dancing with a hint of mischief). When the kettle’s cooling, the kitchen fires up pizza and grilled hot dogs that are as unapologetically tasty as the beer itself. And because someone thought a pint could use a sidekick, the bar serves a handful of cocktails crafted to sit politely beside the hops. All in all, Other Half delivers craft without pretension, proving that great beer can be both serious business and a good laugh.
Reviews praise the brewery's selection of collaborations, guest beers, and IPAs, with many enjoying the taproom's great space, beautiful view, and friendly staff. Food options are also appreciated, including pizza and grilled hot dogs.
