    All I have to say is that I hope you do get to try it someday. It's a Short's brew that has melted minds all over.

    In no particular order:

    Spruce Pilsner
    Strawberry Shorts Cake
    Bourbon Aphasia
    Hopstache
    Key Lime Pie

    Tack anything hoppy that you want onto the list because Shorts has been absolutely killing it with hoppy ales AND lagers.

    Honestly don't think I'm completely IN LOVE with any particular Short's beer I've had, but I'm always really excited to try their new releases when they come out ... they're my favorite brewery in that respect.

    Only 3 of 23 Short's beers I've had I've given a 4 rating or higher.
    Dan's Pink, Huma-Lupa, and wait for it... wait... little longer...... Soft Parade.

    If I could offer a criticism of Shorts, I think to many of their experimental beers lately have been variations on DIPA/IPA. I would love to see more of the weird stuff from the bar sold in bottles.

    Man, there is just so many I can't choose five alone. I will say the game changer for Short's this year was Hopstache fresh followed by Strawberry Shorts. Those two were absolutely spot on perfect.

    I've decided to up the barrel size on their ipa's like dans, hopstache, freedom. Etc. my favorite thing with shorts is how if something like spruce doesn't work one year, bringing it back next year and seeing how it flies out of here the next. A 1/4 Hopstache was gone in 2 days. for us is amazing! I'm truly thankful and grateful for what they do for me. But the 2 beers I personally hate from them are gambler & bloody beer. They all can't be winners. I'm pumped for juicy tree

    juicy tree is one i've really wanted to try...i kicked myself for waiting too long to try and snag it at winter beer fest this year...of course it was out by the time i wandered over!

    The only 2 Short's beers I haven't liked were the Woodmaster and the PB and Banana Wheat. Both were really flavorful, just not my style. I am looking forward to Juicy Tree and I want to try Snozzleberry Griffen.
