    Call to be sure but I have seen it at all the below places within the last week:

    Crunchy's
    Soup Spoon Cafe (last night)
    Reno's (both)
    Beggars Banquet
    Old Chicago
    Taps 25 (it is not listed on their current menu but it is not always accurate)

    I had this beer at the brewery a few times and was not overly impressed. I loved the Citra hops but the beers had off flavors. I went shortly after they opened and again over a year ago. The batches that are now pouring all around the area are fantastic!!! It does taste very similar to a good batch of Zombie Dust. That beer has been quite variable.

    Had some stuff from Old Boys at the Winter Beer fest and was very impressed. Nice guys, unfortunately I don't remember what it was that I sampled...but that is to be expected!

    Old Boys sucks, in my opinion.

    Odd Side Citra is incredible to me. Just a hair below Zombie Dust / Daisy Cutter for pale ales for me. Odd Side has a bunch of goofy beers I don't care for but they have a few very well crafted ones. Cool room, too.

    Just tried this beer for the first time today. It's absolutely fantastic. I think it holds up very well to Zombie Dust, and I may even prefer it due to how damn juicy it is.

    I have had Daisy Cutter, and I personally just don't see the appeal. Glad to have tried it; would never seek it out again. Run-of-the-mill pale ale, imo, and not even in the same league as the other two.

    For those of you in southeastern Michigan, Hermann's Olde Town Grille in Plymouth currently has Odd Side Citra.

    Mayan was one of my favorites from the Brewer's Guild Winter Fest, and Citra was excellent on tap at Crunchy's. The Mint Stout I had at Shark Club, however, was a huge disappointment. It tasted like an extract homebrew with nary a trace of mint.

    I still pimp these guys massively. They could be the next Shorts, but without the huge infection problems.

    Been quite some time since Shorts had any infection issues.

    Except the exploding Huma X being reported.

    Like I said, here we go again. Does the exploding bottle of Huma X mean infection? I think we need to do some reading on this subject, AGAIN.

    I rescind my "infection" comment and humbly submit "quality control issues". Love Shorts and their experimentation, but hope that Odd Sides can avoid the issues Shorts experienced (and still experiences?) with scaling up production.

    HumaX was a test bottle run and only sold because they didn't wanna dump it. Aside from that I haven't heard of any Shorts QC issues in over a year.

    I've been drinking Short's bottles consistently for over 2 years now, and have had MAYBE on QC issue...

    And I thought HumaX was better than Aww Jeah.... Pretty nice brew, especially for an experiment.
