    I thought I could get this thread off and running! Other Half is officially open for pick up in DC, per their Facebook post below:
    ______________________________________________________________________________________

    "It's finally happening, folks! Other Half DC is set to open THIS Saturday. We have been working towards this day from the first time we visited DC, and we are beyond thrilled that it's finally here. We're coming in hot with some of our old favorites and new DC renditions of collabs, along with a few brand new beers. ⁠⠀
    ⁠⠀
    Order tomorrow, 10/16, starting at noon, for PICKUP on Saturday, 10/17. All sales via Curbside Pickup ONLY (link in bio). ⁠Sorry! We aren’t open for onsite consumption yet!⠀
    ⁠⠀
    Orders can be picked up on Saturday between 10am-8pm and Sunday between 11am-6pm. We WILL NOT be allowing sales for walk-ups or allowing lines to form. Please DO NOT come to the brewery before you receive an email saying your order is ready for pickup. You do not need a car to place an order for Curbside Pickup, but you must wear a mask at all times. Instructions on how to collect your order will be in your order confirmation.⁠ ⠀
    ⁠⠀
    Now, on to the fun stuff... We plan to have 5 brand new beers to share with you! 3 new DC exclusives and 2 collabs with our friends @monkishbrewing and @trilliumbrewing. #staytuned for more details on the collabs. ⁠⠀
    ⁠⠀
    Zero Anniversary Imperial IPA (10.0%) You're only born once so why not celebrate it! We worked with local DC artist @trapbob to come up with this spaced out version of our DC brewhouse. This one is blasted with Citra, Galaxy, Enigma, El Dorado, Mosaic and Mosaic Cryo. $22 per 4 pack.⁠⠀
    ⁠⠀
    2 Years 2 Months Later IPA (7.2%) It took long enough, 2 years and 2 months to be exact, but we are finally here and ready to brew some fresh beer in DC. Opening a brewery is a long and arduous process, but when those first beers finally come out, it makes it all worth it. Citra, Galaxy, Mosaic and Sabro. $16 per 4 pack.⁠⠀
    ⁠⠀
    Tomato Factory Imperial IPA (8.0%) This one will hit you hard. In the best way, of course. Packed with Citra, Vic Secret, Riwaka and Sabro, so many great tastes together. Feeling lucky for the opportunity to convert this old tomato canning factory into a juice canning factory. $18 per 4 pack.⁠⠀
    ⁠⠀
    DC—it's been a long journey, but we're finally here! We are looking forward to opening the taproom and brewery doors to all"

    You would've enjoyed this more a couple of years ago when their beers used to be good.

    I wonder when this will spell the end of cans at Downtown Crown.

    I don't have a crystal ball but I don't really see why it would. That's like an hour away from Ivy City. Builds awareness for the brand in MoCo and that side of the Beltway. There's most definitely a lot of people in Fairfax, Chantilly, Herndon, etc who'd much rather cut up 495 than come in the Beltway and then go through the city.

    You may know this but there are other stores in MD who get OH (State Line, one other one at least maybe Drug City?).

    This will add (significant) capacity, I don't think you would then immediately decrease your outlets if you are investing in a new region.

    I'm pretty sure they've already said that this won't affect the DTC drops. I'm excited about this but I have no idea when my first visit/pick up will be.

    OH has aggressively resisted making cans available across NYC (pre COVID), hence cans showing up in all these other spots.

    I don't live close enough to the brewery (nor do I consume enough hazies) to play this role.
