Shorts beers to try?

Two six packs of Huma Lupa Licious.

 

You're missing out on some great stuff... you'll get it eventually. I just had their Snake Juice and really enjoyed it.

I would say it depends. Soft Parade is a very good easy-to-get fruit beer, in my opinion, if you're into those. If you aren't, and like hoppier stuff, Huma Lupa and Space Rock are pretty nice.

 

Nothing bad to say about it. It's good, I've just been "that guy" who hasn't been wowed by a brown ale before.

Apparently I last had it in 2012 and scored it a 3.84. Of course, my tastes could have changed.

 

The two I will buy every time I visit Michigan are Huma and ContriversiALE. I haven't really been blown away by much else.

 

Shorts just hit PA too. Grabbed an Electric Mullet this weekend, I recommend that, makes for a great spring/summer beer.

 

Bellaire Brown is right up there with Bells Best Brown.

Huma is freaking awesome- it's in the same vein of IPA's as Two Hearted, in my opinion (strong floral nose with more body than your average west coast IPA).

Space Rock, I just found out, is a gluten free-ish ale. I had no idea and have had several sixes. It's a nice and hoppy above average pale ale.

If they make it too you, their seasonals and special releases are really where it's at. Sticky Icky Icky and Controversiale are both top notch brews. Shorts is high quality all around.

 

Agreed on the brown ale comments. I hope this one doesn't let you down.

Soft Parade is also really good. I am not a big fan of fruit beers, but this is one of the best I've had. It still tastes like your drinking good beer, and not some abomination of Kool-aid and beer like some of the Macros have produced. It's a great change of pace brew, especially on a hot summer day.

 

Has it hit Chicago? I'm in southwest suburbs and will go look for it this weekend if it's here. Thanks

 

I had a Soft Parade while in Michigan for work last week. I wasn't a fan and felt fortunate to have got it as a single and not a 6er. I generally like fruit beers but that one didn't work for me.

 

@Palos yes stores were posting they received it yesterday.

 

Yes. I picked up a 6'er of Huma last Thurday.

 

Thanks for the info, I'll look for it then. Never been one to go out and chase beers, I go to buy beer and usually pick a couple out that I like or want to try. I'm sure suburbs will be a little behind the city.

 

Bellaire Brown is a very good Brown Ale, well worth having IMO.
