Beer Review: Other Half x Monkish – All Puggle Everything
When two titans of the hazy IPA world, Brooklyn’s Other Half Brewing and Los Angeles’ Monkish Brewing, team up, the expectations are sky-high. Released as part of Other Half’s 11th Anniversary celebration, All Puggle Everything is a playful, pug-themed twist on their legendary “All Everything” series.
Brewery: Other Half Brewing Co. (Collab with Monkish Brewing Co.)
Style: Double India Pale Ale (Hazy / New England)
ABV: 8.5%
Hop Profile: Citra, Nectaron, and a “wildcard” addition of Fuggle hops.
The name is a tribute to the beloved pugs owned by the Monkish crew. While the “All Everything” series usually focuses on modern powerhouse hops, this collab throws a curveball by including Fuggle, a classic, earthy UK hop. It’s a “Fuggle for the Puggles,” blending old-school tradition with new-school haze.
Sensory Profile
1. Appearance
True to the “Other Half” house style, it pours a thick, glowing marigold orange. It is completely opaque with a dense, creamy white head that leaves beautiful lacing (the “legs” of the beer world) all the way down the glass.
2. Aroma
The nose is an absolute tropical punch. Nectaron and Citra lead the way with massive notes of overripe peach, lychee, and tangerine. However, there is a distinct “green” undercurrent—a hint of damp earth and herbal spice from the Fuggle that adds a sophisticated layer most hazies lack.
3. Taste
The Front: An explosion of stone fruit. You get juicy nectarine and sweet passionfruit immediately.
The Mid: The mouthfeel is pillowy and soft, typical of a Monkish collaboration. Here, the tangerine zest notes shine, providing a bright citrus brightness.
The Finish: This is where it gets interesting. Instead of a purely sugary finish, there is a subtle, earthy dankness and a whisper of rustic woodiness. It’s a very mild bitterness that cleanses the palate for the next sip.
4. Mouthfeel
At 8.5%, this beer is dangerously smooth. It has that signature “velvet” texture—rich, full-bodied, and creamy without feeling heavy or syrupy. The alcohol is
All Puggle Everything is a masterclass in collaboration. It maintains the “juice bomb” identity Other Half fans crave while introducing a rustic, earthy complexity that reflects the Monkish touch. The use of Fuggle hops is a risky move that pays off, providing a “dank” edge that keeps the tropical flavors from becoming one-dimensional.
Final Thought: It’s rare to find a Hazy DIPA that feels both innovative and nostalgic. This beer manages to be both.
