    UPDATE--we lost some barrels of this brew in the pasteurizer. This brew is cursed-had a filler issue when trying to keg it all up. That's why we had to switch it with Publican.

    That being said, only 300 cases may be sent down throughout the state! Get it when you can, folks! A silver lining to all of this-aren't you glad we are Michigan only?

    I think he was using the "greater than" sign as an arrow rather than it's intended purpose. With that said, Freedom > Hopstache (and any and all other IPAs!). :slight_smile:

    Excited to grab some of this. I had it on draft at last year's Brew:Ski Bash at the pub in Bellaire. Awesome RIS!

    YES!!! '78 & 'stache are 2 of Short's best! Superfluid is my juice though! I was lucky enough to try it at the pub last year. I've been dying for it to be bottled since then. I brought a growler home to share with @beergorrilla and he was blown away by it as well!

    That is correct. I'm not sure I could pick a favorite, though.

    Serious question: does Shorts have the best website of any brewer? I am used to outdated information, randomly missing photos, events blogs last updated in 2009, etc.

    Im serious . I know zero about what it takes to bottle beers to distro and I'm fine with that. Saying tha this beer needs to be bottled 200-300 bottle limit. Whatever. This is thick chewy bourbon raisin goodness . Just me dreaming :slight_smile:

    Trust me, bombers is something many of us are hoping we can implement someday. The Imperial Beer Series all over again w/ some different selections in 750ml would be amazing as well.

    I'd rather see Short's in the little Rhinelander "Shorty" bottles, spread that shit around!
