BREWERY TOUR SUMMER '24

a part of. With over 170 offerings throughout their four locations, their work ethic and simple mission have been executed to perfection. The aesthetic of Other Half Brewing wasn't the typical brewery style we expected, but their vibe fits right in with Williamsburg's flair for the eclectic. With a large neon sign of the company's logo illuminating the interior, there are more than a dozen tables inside that accommodate large parties. The brewing tanks have a prominent presence the moment you walk inside, yet they did not take away from the brewery's ambience. They had one long bench-style seating section outside for their customers to enjoy the beautiful weather all summer long. On top of the spacious seating and pet-friendly

environment, Other Half Brewing allows for their customers to take their beverages across the street and enjoy the sights and atmosphere of the East River. This specific location along the river would be an ideal area to pair a cigar with one of their beers, wines, seltzers or coffees! Our first beverage of choice was their imperial stout “Deep Orbit: Cygnus” which had notable flavors of caramel and chocolate. A medium-bodied cigar such as the Foundation Charter Oak would pair perfectly with the strong profile of the imperial stout. Another beer we tried from Other Half Brewing was their brown “London Ale”. Smooth and not as dominant on the palate as their imperial stout, it would pair beautifully with a Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Nicaragua.
