    Get ready...this beer is not on the schedule for 2016, so make sure you get your fill!

    (Michigan Only)

    Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is a Double Belgian IPA brewed exclusively with Galaxy hops. The nose is an impressive blend of citrus aromas reminiscent of guava and lemons. It also has subtle Belgian yeast esters. An intense, clean bitterness dominates the flavor profile, with little malt character to compete with. A fruity yeast sweetness is noticeable in the finish, alongside a resounding bitterness. 8.4% ABV 90 IBU

    Sniff, sniff...I keep telling myself "there'll be other beers to drink," but it doesn't seem to help. Anyone interested in starting a PGGB-withdrawal support group?

    Here's to hoping it's like the 2014 batch! Less Belgian more juicy Galaxy hops please!

    Here is two votes hoping it is like the 2014 batch. That beer is still my favorite Shorts brew.

    Beer buying etiquette doesn't apply to gargle blaster. I'm filling my jeep to the roof with this one

    ISO: Mystical device that will store at least a couple dozen gallons of Pan Galactic completely fresh for a couple years and still allow regular tapping.
    Also, ISO: several dozen gallons of Pan Galactic

    Do you know approximately how Pan Galactic is being produced? The stores around me have only gotten between one and three cases of Black Cherry Porter, I've had to widen my net to find some. Just wondering if I'll have to do the same for PGGB.

    It'll be about the same, I'm sure. Road trip it around Michigan the week it's released.

    Did you get it from a store shelf already or from the brewery? I wasn't expecting to see it until next week in my favorite store.
