Overview
Other Half Brewing is an American craft brewery founded in Brooklyn, New York, in 2014 by Sam Richardson, Matt Monahan, and Andrew Burman. The three founders set out with a simple mission: to create beers they wanted to drink from a company they wanted to be part of, and to push the boundaries of beer and its surrounding culture by representing the “Other Half” of the industry. Since opening its first taproom in 2014, the brewery has grown into a multi-location operation with taprooms and production spaces in New York City, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Bloomfield, and Buffalo. It invests in each local community through limited-edition beer releases, merchandise, and events, and describes its spaces as places for real-world relationships to grow while leaving room for innovation. Other Half is best known for heavily hopped styles, particularly hazy and double dry-hopped (DDH) India pale ales. Flagship and recurring beers include All Citra Everything, DDH All Citra Everything Imperial IPA, Green City, DDH Green City IPA, and Forever Ever DDH Session IPA. The brewery also produces lagers such as Snaps, introduced as the first lager in its flagship lineup, and non-alcoholic options like All In Hazy Non-Alcoholic IPA. Its portfolio extends to imperial stouts, often sold through build-your-own stout boxes, and seasonal releases such as Oktoberfest beers, including a collaboration with von Trapp Brewing. Other Half frequently collaborates with other breweries; its annual collaboration with Parish Brewing Co. has produced TDH Space Ghost, Ghost In The Code, and limited-edition releases. The company sells beer through its taprooms, an online store with home shipping options, and select retailers. It also operates a subscription-style offering, the Green Diamond Society, which delivers a rotating 12-pack of fresh Other Half releases monthly. Other Half remains privately held and independent, with no publicly disclosed parent company or outside owner in the available evidence. Its brand identity centers on community, experimentation, and a modern, hop-forward approach to craft beer.
History
Other Half Brewing Company was founded in Brooklyn, New York, in 2014 by Sam Richardson, Matt Monahan, and Andrew Burman. The founders shared a straightforward mission: to create beers they wanted to drink from a company they wanted to be a part of. From the outset, their vision was to push the boundaries of beer and the culture surrounding it by representing the “Other Half” of the industry. The brewery opened its first taproom in 2014, establishing a local presence in Brooklyn. Over the following years, Other Half expanded beyond its original location. According to the company, it has since added spaces in New York City, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Bloomfield, and Buffalo. This growth reflects a strategy of building what it calls the evolution of the local brewery, combining production and taproom experiences in multiple communities. The company states that it invests in each local community with limited-edition beer, merchandise, and experiences, and that it creates spaces for real-world relationships to grow while always leaving room for innovation. Product development has been central to Other Half’s identity. The brewery became widely associated with hazy and double dry-hopped IPAs, including beers such as All Citra Everything, DDH All Citra Everything Imperial IPA, Green City, DDH Green City IPA, and Forever Ever DDH Session IPA. It has also diversified into lagers, introducing Snaps as the first lager in its flagship lineup, and into non-alcoholic beer with All In Hazy Non-Alcoholic IPA. Imperial stouts are another recurring category, often offered through build-your-own stout boxes. Seasonal releases, such as Oktoberfest beers and a collaboration with von Trapp Brewing, further illustrate its range. Collaboration has been a recurring theme. The brewery maintains an annual collaboration with Parish Brewing Co., which has produced releases including TDH Space Ghost, Ghost In The Code, and a new limited edition. Other Half sells its beer through its taprooms, an online store with home shipping options, and select retailers. It also offers the Green Diamond Society, a subscription that delivers a rotating 12-pack of fresh releases monthly. The available evidence does not indicate any parent company, outside owner, or public listing; Other Half appears to remain a privately held, independent craft brewery.
