Other Half (2021)

Haha! Yeah was a wild few days where I felt off but didn't seem like it was anything, which ultimately led to me going to the ER in the middle of the night. Thankfully I went when I did and it wasn't as serious as it could have gotten. Glad to be back to normal finally though!

 

Took 4.5 days to get to page 2? Managed it in 2 each of the past two years, which portends failure for whatever suburban-McDonald's-inspired page-count goal @rozzom comes up with this year.

 

Other Half 2019 - 190
Other Half 2020 - 135

I don't think we will see the heights of 2019 for various reasons. But doing a quick BOE calc:

2021 isn't 2020: +10 pages of good vibes
Post-vaccine we get inquiries from visitors again: +20 pages
OH making Baltic Porters - temporary pureboi interest: +3 pages
OH continues to be available in - yuck - stores post COVID: -20 pages
Deal talks between Bhutan and OH to trademark the Backcountry Bhutan Banana fall apart: -37 pages
At least one meet up happens: + 14 pages

2021 projected total: 119 pages

 

It's tough to argue with any of this; and your mathematical rigor is impressive enough to make @algebeeric_topology and even @dhaakon proud.

But with a full year of you being out in the suburbs, I think we can expect at least 7 pages of related complaints, teasing, and counter-ripostes. So I'm going with 126.

 

Thanks! Looking forward to cracking a beer later this week/weekend hopefully!

 

Honestly, this is most of what I can offer until I can drink outside at OH DC.

 

Side Project is Freaky Fridaying All Nelson Everything, so I assume we will see OHs version of BBT soon.

 

Other Half's Double Drupe named in We Asked 13 Brewers: What’s the Best Barrel-Aged Stout?

 

BBTL

Beer : Barrel : Time : Lactose

 

I've been picking up single cans at bread & honey and all the cans have been squishy. Anyone else experience this?

 

Hope they hired Raji from Columbus Brewing for the waxing. Too soon?

 

The squishy can thing comes up now and then for those buying delivery or finding them in retail settings (like a safari sighting). As someone who only buys solely from the warehouse some of my cans get squishy. Recently AlGaE was squishy but drank fine. It definitely feels weird.

Also what's with Domino Park offering mixed 4's of things like the porter and strata lot via "comment in order" like they care about locals or something.

 

It was named as a counterpoint right?

 

Small lAced in Space & Strata + Mosaic up on curbside.

Looks like a D96 collab at OH is coming soon.

 

Space Diamonds too!

 

I liked it!

 

Every beer tastes great during the Muppet's Christmas Carol!!
