UPDATE: The OtherSIDE is not closing after all! The building owner evicted The OtherSIDE and the Mattress Store before actually securing a deal with the National Furniture Chain. =)

I made it out to the Otherside during my last trip to Boston. The beer menu was still nice, with an epic showing from Bear Republic Brewing company, as well as Left Hand’s Milk Stout.

The general mood of everybody was a down. I suppose have given in to the fact they no longer have a good job at a cool place. Even though the word that I got was they are looking for a new place to re-open. It could be a while until they are able to re-open in a new spot.

Well, I hope they find a good spot.

All and all it was a successful trip, I will miss the Otherside! A special thanks to and Fancy Pants, Jack Kramarczyk and Paget for making my last day in Boston a complete awesome.

I just received word today that the Otherside in Boston is closing. I discovered how awesome the Otherside is, when Page brought me there three or four years ago, I took for granted that it would be there forever. Living in Boulder I have the Mountain Sun, when I go to Boston I have the Otherside.

My sadness cannot be conveyed appropriately in a blog post. I will really miss the staff and people of my favorite beer spot in Boston. The Boston beer community is losing a true landmark.

At least  I will have time to get one more visit this year before they close their doors.

Cheers,

Tom
