We welcome Brooklyn’s Other Half Brewing Company and Evil Twin Brewing NYC to Port Street as part of Cloudwater Brew Co‘s Friends & Family & Beer Fringe.
Other Half are pretty much, and rightly, the primo name in East Coast IPAs at this point. Finesse is the word – soft and balanced IPAs, DIPAs, and TIPAs. Other Half are just better at this than most. And their other styles ain’t too shabby either. We are thrilled to bring you a selection of Other Half beers on tap at Port Street on our upstairs bar. Maybe some other stuff too……..who knows.
On the ground floor we will have EVIL TWIN NYC. Evil Twin have always banged it out, no question, but their new perma New York base is knocking out the hits FOR REAL. They of many styles – their latest batches are going down an absolute storm. Come trial.
