    "According to its website, New York’s Other Half Brewing Company has released 468 unique beers since opening its doors in January 2014. It 2018, users added a whopping 234 of the brewery’s kegged, canned, and bottled creations to the site."

    Woo!

    Also @rozzom while half and half in cereal sounds excellent, I personally recommend soft serve ice cream in a good sugary cereal like cookie crisp or fruity pebbles.

    Was the surprise we're staying tuned for today at noon that they're open on New Year's Day?

    Going to be controversial here - I would love to see them release 90% great, existing beers and only 10% new beers in 2019. Great to keep on experimenting but maybe lighten a bit on collabs and DDH, lactose, weird adjuncts, etc. Just a thought :-)

    Erg. This is why Grimm and Interboro are going to see more of my beer dollars than OH this year. Much more interested in a well-dialed-in, refined lineup of multiple styles than a hundred new lacto-shakes.

    I wasn’t planning on cutting back in 2019 but the lactose relentlessness may leave me no choice so I might as well announce cutting back as my resolution to get credit for it.
