Short's Brewing Releases & Updates (2018)

I went simple and guessed Centennial. lol. It kind of reminded me aroma wise of Founders Centennial.

 

Hey, man, you could be right, too. We're all just dudes on the Internet who like beer. If anyone here gets it right, though, you gotta post a pic of the swag you win.

 

*Refreshes Beermenus again waiting for it to show up at a local bar, sips the PGGB keeping me company*

 

I had 3 PGGB's friday night. So good! Felt it in the morning at the gym.

 

I'm probably way off. I interpreted the "spelling counts" portion of the prompt as a hint, and went way out in left field guessing Motueka hops.

I don't even know what Motueka hops taste like.

 

Honestly, that's a good guess. The reason I guessed Azacca is because they can have a lemon-limey sort of character to them, and I believe Motueka has a similar profile.

 

The updates don't stop coming! Per Short's FB page, 2017 release schedule and Fans Choice Voting details will be posted next week! (Goodnight Bodacious won this year's, think I'm gonna pull for Captain Fantasy if it's an option for next year)

I'm hoping for some old favorites to come back like Publican Porter, Spruce Pilsner (on a bigger scale), and maybe Peaches n Cream.

I am guess I get one of those three.

 

So, Short's just posted on FB that only one person has gotten the Guess the Dry Hop right, so they've posted a clue: six different varieties that it could be. Check it out and vote accordingly!

I dont know how they decide on the release calendar. So many great beers and only 12 months.

 

Really hoping for Sweep the Leg Johnny (Aphasia) and/or Woodmaster in 2017.

I might be in the minority on this but I'm burned out of all things lime so I hope there is less of that on the new calendar.

 

Speaking of great beers, drinking my first Black Cherry Porter of the year, better than I remember!

 

Oh, man. I miss Aphasia/Johnny. Haven't had it since the last bottle release. I've got my own wish list that's 12 miles long, no doubt.
I wonder if some of the ales are gonna get the PGGB/Black Cherry treatment with a bigger ABV. PGGB packed a real punch this year, not just in ABV but in flavor, too.

 

So is BCP Michigan only or will it see distro to surrounding states say like Indiana and only Indiana? Please?????

 

Unfortunately a Illinois guy here but loved Shorts, only had a handful though. Where do I find out what is here in my lovely state and what I'll have to drive for. Thanks

 

BCP is going to be a Michigan only release this year. Typically, when Short's announces a new beer release they'll comment on what part of the distro footprint is going to get it as well. Check the release announcements here:
