    Looks like Bucktricutioner has landed in the GR area. Looking forward to trying this one!

    "Bucktricutioner is a light bodied Berliner Weisse brewed with 50% malted wheat, strawberries, and limes. This beer is pink in color with notable aromas of wheat and yeast esters that combine with some subtle citrus scents, creating a pleasantly refreshing nose. Delicate grain flavors give way to bright, tart lemon – lime qualities and sweet fruit before slightly drying the palate for an over all crisp and clean finish.

    3.25% ABV
    4 IBU

    Just hit the website today: Noble Chaos is on its way.

    "Noble Chaos (6.5% ABV – 40 IBU) is an Oktoberfest/Marzen (German-style amber lager) with a subtle hop bouquet and toasted caramel malt flavors. It is a well-balanced beer that finishes fresh and clean. With a pleasant nose and medium body, this brew is a taste of the fall season.

    You can find Noble Chaos on store shelves in six-packs and on tap beginning this week. You won’t be in Bavaria, but you can still celebrate like the Germans do; surrounded by friends, family, and of course, a stein full of tasty beer. Pick up a sixer today and be sure to join us at the pub for our very own Oktoberfest Celebration on Saturday, September 24th, 2016.

    P.S. For all you pumpkin beer fiends; We won’t deprive you of your pumpkin brew. Look forPUMPKINCRUSHA on tap only in late September or early October."

    "PUMPKINCRUSHA is a seasonal blend of pumpkin, spices, and carefully formulated ale. Brewed with real pumpkin and spice, aromas of pumpkin pie are apparent. The ale is a light pastel brown and comfortably consumable.



    6% ABV

    35 IBU"

    Here's a little sneak-peak of our new seasonal, Double Magician! It is on tap right now at the pub, in case anyone wants to sample it. Large scale distribution won't be until mid-October, at the latest.

    Yes! I LOVE Dan's Pink Skirt!

    Dan’s Pink Skirt is an American IPA brewed with Summit and Simcoe hops. Malt characteristics are mild throughout, practically undetectable in the nose. Pronounced floral and citrus aromas abound, with a pine resin hop bitterness attacking the sides of the pallet, lingering well into the finish.

    7.8% ABV
    99 IBU

    Dan's is underrated. It has a very unique hop profile.

    I love Simcoe hops. They make this beer pretty unique.

    So glad Short's changed the 2016 schedule to make room again for Dan's this year.

    I always wonder if consumer discussion of certain beers has any impact on the change, as some people were disappointed Dan's didn't make the original 2016 schedule.

    Either way, glad it's back. I'll be grabbing it when I can.

    I don't know why I'm just putting this together now, but with @HopHeadHerman mentioning Double Magician coming in mid-October as a seasonal, and @ScottatShorts having mentioned Aorta being a possibility for December (and I see Liberator is still the only release scheduled for that month), there could be two reds available. Nice.

    All right, this one isn't a bottle release but it's on tap at the pub and I had to share it after seeing it on the website. It looks like Short's is gonna have a whole line of cocktail brews at this pace:

    [​IMG]

    Rollin’ Down the Street is a cocktail inspired Experimental Ale brewed with lime juice, juniper, coriander and blended with orange juice. Hazy and pale yellow in color with a frothy white head, this ale smells of fresh squeezed orange juice with just a hint of juniper and lime. Initial flavors of tart orange are followed by a refreshing lime and “gin” like quality. Rollin’ Down the Street finishes sweet with a final taste of lime.



    6% ABV
    19 IBU

    They're getting closer to that vodka gimlet ale...

    I am so, so glad that I live 4 hours from that pub or I'd be there every night. :grinning:

    I felt the same 3 or so years ago. Hoping for a similar experience. Just wondering how the taste has changed because I remember DPS being around 140 IBU and 7% then.....Now it is lower IBU and higher ABV.
