Other Half Brewing Company

In 2014, Sam Richardson, Matt Monahan and Andrew Burman founded Other Half Brewing Company, in Brooklyn, New York, with a simple mission: to create beers that they wanted to drink from a company they wanted to be a part of. Their vision was to build a passionate team, tirelessly innovating, to brew world-class beer representing the “other half” of the industry. Other Half believes that craft breweries play an important role in their communities. We expand through new locations that brew exceptional beer while adhering to the local culture. In 2019, Other Half opened its second location in East Bloomfield, New York. During 2020, we plan to continue our expansion while never forgetting our humble beginnings.
