    Why cant they bottle every beer they make every year?!?!? This is such bullshit.

    Ocho de Mayo was very nice, glad to see it coming in bottles. No Spruce Pils makes me sad though, that beer is a Michigan Summer in a glass.

    Just saw the peoples choice voting options. I have to say it was hard not voting for Goodnight Bodacious and Mmmkay, but really need some Raisin Apollo after hearing everyone's comments on here, so plus 1 for Raisin Apollo.

    I didn't notice, but was there a write in vote this year? I sure hope for the workers at Short's that follow that voting that there wasn't. Couldn't imagine what a cluster fuck of random write-ins there were when they had that in the past.

    Call me crazy, but seeing space rock still on the flagship list was my favorite part of this schedule.

    I was fortunate enough to be at the pub when it was on tap,so I got a howler of it (and key lime,too). Such a great summer brew. But I can see why they didn't bottle this next year, most of the places around me still have sixers in the coolers. Hard to say if it was over produced or the demand just isn't there. Total anecdote: out of all my friends and family, there's just two of us who enjoy it.

    You're crazy! _______ should have been a flagship beer instead of space rocks. What is wrong with Shorts?!?!?!

    I voted for Captain Fantasy, although I full expect Raisin Apollo or Goodnight Bodacious to win (maybe MMMKAY).

    What can I say, I'm a sucker for hoppy saisons. Also, I enjoyed the only other pear saison I've had, so that can't hurt.

    Although voting proved difficult--Short's website is apparently utilizing IP address as part of how it is limiting votes to one person per day. And apparently someone at my office has already voted today. I had to log on with my mobile device to cast a vote...

    Schedule looks great, a bunch of new ones I'll be sure to try: Love Knife, Swirl Stout, Bim Bam Boom, Mr. Fusion, Ocho de Mayo, Raisin Apollo (fingers crossed), and Power of Love. Glad Sticky Icky Icky is back too.

    Only big omissions I wish we had back were Dan's Pink Skirt and Ermagerdness - DPS is probably my favorite Short's IPA now. I'd love to see it replace Superfluid, which I've never cared for, but I think you guys would probably riot.

    Superfluid should never go away. I would prefer Stellar Ale over DPS and ERmagherd.

    Sad to see it off the schedule for next year.

    Happy to see a bunch of new beers I have yet to try though!

    Very excited for these upcoming stouts!!

    Hopstache and Cuppa Joe, I'm more than happy! Another 2016 BCP gift. Honorable mention power of love... Word around the campfire that was a huge hit this past summer and the first keg to blow? Let's hope more than 10 cases of sticky are Brewed. Bummer on wood master, DPS, and PGGB. Happy to see bludgeon And dolly get the axe. Overall very pleased!!

    Bim bam boom sounds interesting

    No woodmaster :slight_frown: I think I only have 4 left, guess they'll have to stretch.

    So glad to see ANNI is coming back(probably my favorite beer ever made, no shittin'). Superfluid should also be a permanent fixture in the lineup along with PGGB. Glad to see Shorts is still creating new stuff though, they're like a random hooker...you never know what your gonna get :grimacing:. My write in vote(s) are for gargle blaster and aphasia ( or the beer formerly known as aphasia):wink:. Shorts rules Michigan!

    No Spruce Pilsner :slight_frown:
    Great list other than that. Guess I'll stock up now if stores still have some left.

    Sticky needs to be a year rounder.. let's get a barrel aged variety pack someday too.. featuring publican porter, bodacious and aphasia.. maybe a cider in there too :slight_smile:
