    A new bottled offering was packaged today in Elk Rapids and I feel it's going to cause a lot of excitement for many avid Short's fans (especially for some dude named steebo777). It's a pretty awesome beer that will be a nice option for those craving more of our specialty hop centered ales. Great for the Hangin' Frank and Bonafide Legit fans, and especially our devout supporters that remember the good ol' Rich's Rye (very distinct summit hop flavors in both). It is a nice medium bodied ale that does not showcase prominent malt flavors like the Huma, allowing the hops to be the definite focus.

    The Dan on the label is Dan Rogers from Big Rock Chophouse. Joe Short considers him to be his "Yoda". There's a story that goes along with this brew but I'm too lazy to tell it all to you.

    I anticipate this will be an "on the shelf, off the shelf" release, so good luck and I'm looking forward to hearing everyone's review!

    Dan's Pink Skirt: A pale ale bursting with distinct hoppiness. Malt characteristics are mild throughout, practically undetectable in the nose. Pronounced floral and citrus aromas abound, with a pine resin hop bitterness attacking the sides of the pallet, lingering well into the finish.
    6.4% ABV

    Yes, Beach Wheat is being released first and we brewed twice as much as before. All in good time.
