    Predictions....
    #1
    Anniversary celebration will include all 6 years prior versions of their yearly IPA rather than just the last three.

    #2
    Only the fourth anniversary will be better than a good batch of ACE, AGE, or HS and it will sell out faster than BA Snowbirds.

    Just opened last of the 4 snowbirds from the shipped 4 pack:

    a) the 13% snowbird 5’s def better than the 15% BA snowbirds 4
    b) I have a non-ironic soft spot for wild Thai bananas
    c) the description of the most adjunct laden BA one was SNL-worthy
    d) additional prediction - we will continue to get fucked in 2021 by not getting any short darks

    Peering into my crystal ball, I see an especially joyful meetup at the Domino Park location sometime in the 3rd quarter of 2021. @algebeeric_topology is probably right, which means we may all be forced to drink hard seltzers aged on 12 different kinds of candy, fruit, and potato chips. But it's the company that'll matter.

    I also foresee a moment where @algebeeric_topology, prepping for a diaper change, pulls out a bag of baby powder only to have @rozzom immediately wrest it from his hands and then slather the contents over his gums in one uninterrupted motion.

    As we all witnessed the last time, whenever that guy sees a white granular substance he becomes totally possessed.:slight_smile:

    Ha... I am just waiting to see what OH puts on the 7th Anni label, hopefully they returned the twilight zone/monkey paw label maker. If they put a mushroom cloud on the thing then you know it's time to stock up on canned chickpeas and run for the Dakotas.

    Can't believe it was this year that some random guy drew a gun out at an Other Half line

    I honestly had to look it up because I couldn't remember if it happened this year or 2019

    I was going to say you are confusing the gun episode with the "We found Kevin" episode but apparently that was early 2019. I think we have all lost track of time over the last 10 months.

    Sorry for the slow reply, but definitely not. They usually take a couple days.

    Forever Strata is still available at OH BK.

    Domino Park has:
    Delcarlia, Forever Strata, and Double Cut Gems


    Also it seems like people were clamoring for single hop single ipas to make their return. Between the Forever series, the Chroma series, and the Small series it seems like there are plenty of those available! It would be nice to get some less typical hops though; where's my El Dorado?!?

    Can add to #project189...picked up All Galaxy and Quiet Cosmos. All Galaxy a definite winner, big time berry citrus and soft. Happy I got another can, can’t say I’m upset not to have a full 4. Quiet Cosmos was alright. Happy I only got a can. I enjoyed that nectarine/slight apricot taste but nothing memorable.

    Dude it’s the 28th. Let’s not count our chickens yet. Entirely possible that there is a $250 pp Zoom NYE party announced in the next 24-48 hours. Highlights include:

    - Virtual mouth pours
    - Wrestling compilation reel
    - Commemorative teku & t-shirt
    - Snowbirds tasting with qualified cicerone*

    *Snowbirds sold separately

    I still DO NOT and likely will never understand live wrestling at a beer festival, let alone professional wrestling in general.

    It's kind of fun for when you need a break to savor a 2 oz pour.

    Gonna just shitpost that with C+S in hand I'd have preferred a final Forever Simcoe release to the ACE I don't really need in my fridge at this time, sorry suburbanites what you drink don't make me piss.

    I think I drank about 30 different OH beers in 2020. These were my top 5, in no particular order:
    1. DHDHC Mylar Bags
    2. HDHC Enhanced Mind
    3. HDHC Lab Daydream (w/ Equilibrium)
    4. Double Fantasy RPG (w/ Burial, J. Wakefield, Parish, & The Veil)
    5. Snowbirds 5 (Banana Cream Pie version)

    I still have my bottle of 2yr BA Snowbirds 3 that I'm saving for a virtual NYE celebration. Just a hunch but that could easily top all of them.
