And given Other Half’s reputation…this is a big deal.

Founded in NYC by Sam Richardson, Matt Monahan, and Andrew Burman with the simple mission of “creating beers they wanted to drink from a company that they wanted to be a part of,” Other Half Brewing. which launched in 2014, has grown into a force to be reckoned with.

And the fact that Andrew and Matt grew up in the shadow of the Nation’s Capital, explains their decision to look southward…

“Andrew and I grew up in the DC area, and we are honored to open a brewery in our hometown and join the Beltway’s amazing beer scene,” says co-founder Matt Monahan. “We’ve long admired DC’s dynamic brewing community and look forward to sharing our beers with guests and to collaborating with some of the world’s best brewers who call DC home,” says co-founder Andrew Burman.

With construction deemed essential by the DC government, and as a result minimally impacted by the COVID-19 shutdowns, Other Half plans to start brewing beer on-site in late September, with initial plans to offer curbside pick-up and delivery depending on what’s happening with the pandemic.
