    From Short's Facebook page:

    "Hi-Dilly-Ho, neighborinos! It's time to tell you about the latest and greatest coming to the Private Stache series. Hi-Dilly-Ho, a barrel aged Flanders Red, set to be release at the pub on Friday, June 10th. "

    Two of my favorite things in the world collide! And check out this stupid sexy label art!

    If there's a reserve list, I'd love to get on it. I'll be cruising through Bellaire about a month after this launches and I know it's not gonna last...

    Sounds awesome! Great label too! Unfortunately I won't be in Bellaire till a few weeks after that.

    The "spicie" is still there on the finish. Even though this beer doesn't get much attention I've always been a fan. Working my way through a 6er now. I wouldn't call it heat, more of a numbing sensation...almost like they put a tiny amount of cocaine in each bottle. I'd pay extra for that :grinning:

    FYI- I was a main force for naming this brew- but I would have called it Hi-Diddly-Ho (isn't that what Ned says?) -- I'm guessing it may be a copyright issue.:grinning:

    Numbing is a good way to put it, and I've gotten that with some bottles. Those times are all right. For me, it's an 80-20 mix between hot and numb or comfortably numb.
    And I'm sure if we could get our hands on a DeLorean and head back to the late nineteenth / early twentieth century we could get Nicie Cokie. :slight_smile:

    As someone who has been a Simpsons fan since the Tracey Ullman days (when Bart was going to warp my young mind) I appreciate your effort. Next up, an Evil Dead themed ale maybe?

    I found a bunch of Peachy Pom-Pom on the shelf while back in my old stomping grounds, in the U.P. I would love to hear anyone's thoughts on it. I like kettle sours but is it worth $17 per?

    Maybe I just don't know my beer/brewery figures but who are the 2 friendly neighbors on the label?

    Going hard on the case of Hopstache I bought, can't wait for Freedom of '78. These both need to be made year round. I wouldn't drink any other IPA.

    And they just added Spruce Pilsner bottles to July! It can be a proper Michigan summer after all!

    I can finally stop complaining about the lack of spruce pilsner.

    Got some Spruce Pilsner from the pub on the way home from Up North last year, got home and cracked the howler open on the deck that evening. Ecstacy in a glass.

    I am pumped about spruce being back! It's probably my favorite beer.

    We tried to cut it a lot of times but Joe loves it and when we deleted it from the schedule we were inundated with comments. We therefore decided to do it regardless of margin or impact to production. Staff were out picking tips today for the brew tomorrow.

    Now we just need the spruce pilsner t shirts again, never had a chance to get one last time!
