Other Half Brewing sprang to life in 2014 when Sam Richardson, Matt Monahan, and Andrew Burman decided New York needed a shrine to fresh hops and fearless flavor. These weren’t weekend tinkerers graduating from stovetop kettles; they were industry veterans who understood that modern beer moves at the speed of aroma. Instead of chasing postcard Brooklyn, they planted roots near the Gowanus Canal, a rough-edged pocket of Carroll Gardens where warehouses were affordable, trucks could actually park, and a young brewery could breathe. The mission was audaciously simple: brew hop-saturated beer constantly, sell it as fresh as physics allowed, and let word of mouth snake around the block. Lines formed, cans vanished, and a tiny operation with oversized nerve became a pilgrimage site for anyone chasing the next bright, dripping, citrus-laced revelation.
Think of this flight as a rising waveform of haze and fruit, each pour nudging the dial a little higher. Peaks & Pints’ Other Half Beer Flight moves from breezy single IPA shimmer into deeper, denser double-IPA immersion, a five-step climb through orchards, tropics, and neon-lit juice stands. Citrus sparks the opening act, stone fruit and melon take the middle verses, and by the finale you’re swimming in saturated hop color where sweetness and snap keep each other honest. Together they read like one long, effervescent sentence about freshness, excess, and the strange elegance of controlled chaos.

Other Half Big Citra Vibes
6.5% ABV | Hazy IPA | Brooklyn, NY
A citrus sunrise pours into the glass, slow-motion and glowing, soft haze carrying a bright electric perfume. Citra upon Citra lifts notes of peeled orange, ripe mango, and lychee nectar, all drifting on a plush body that feels closer to juice than beer. The palate moves smooth and luminous, flashing sweet grapefruit before a gentle bitterness tethers everything back to earth. It drinks like a summer anthem turned liquid, exuberant yet composed, showing how a single hop can feel infinite when treated with devotion.
Other Half Stacks On Stacks
6.5% ABV | Hazy IPA
From the first swirl, waves of peach, apricot, and sunlit orange stack up like a glowing skyline in a glass. Mango and tangerine roll across a buoyant, cloud-soft texture, then a quick citrus snap redraws the edges so the fruit never drifts into syrup. Aromas hum with orchard sweetness while the finish stays clean and inviting, urging the next sip before the last one fades. It’s the taste of late afternoon light piled high, balanced on the edge of indulgence.
Other Half Southernhopalistic
7.4% ABV | Hazy IPA
Lime peel and gooseberry burst forward, followed by warm mango and a rush of Southern Hemisphere sunshine. Pineapple and guava sweep through the mid-palate, citrus oil glinting against a soft, hazy cushion. A bright, zesty bitterness reins things in at the last moment, keeping the ride nimble and focused. It reads like a postcard from faraway coasts written entirely in hops, equal parts wanderlust and precision.
Other Half Cabbage
7.9% ABV | Double Hazy IPA
Ignore the name and chase the aroma: pineapple juice, crushed blueberries, and orange zest lifting straight from the foam. Tropical fruit surges over a dense, silky body, sweetness rolling forward before a quick lemon-lime snap tightens the close. Every pull feels saturated yet agile, a kaleidoscope of hops resolving into something remarkably coherent. Imagine a peak-season fruit market caught in a warm breeze and poured into a pint.
Other Half Juice Grind
8.0% ABV | Double Hazy IPA
Neon haze blooms above the rim as grapefruit zest, berry candy, and lime spritz collide in technicolor. Thick but buoyant, the mouthfeel carries tropical nectar and citrus peel in tumbling succession before a tidy bitterness clicks the picture into sharp focus. The experience is plush without heaviness, exuberant without sprawl, like a city skyline reflected in a smoothie and somehow rendered perfectly crisp. Excess here feels agile, radiant, and endlessly chaseable.
