    Did anyone spot the new variety pack in the metro Detroit area? Plymouth or Royal Oak?

    While you're voting for the Fan's Choice release, check out the new article I the news section:

    SHORT’S BREWING CO. ATTEMPS TO CLEAR POPULAR FLAGSHIP BRAND HUMA® IN RECENT POLITICAL SCANDAL

    ".... Short’s Brewing Co.’s CEO, Joe Short was available for comment, “The implication that Huma was involved in anything but tasting really good, is totally false. I totally see why Hillary picked Huma for her assistant though. Huma has assisted me for years, and I stand by it!”

    Short’s also went on to add that it is a bipartisan company, and prefers to stay politically neutral, although highly encourages everyone to actively and thoughtfully participate in our elections."


    A pretty good example of how a company can make a political joke without getting political. But I'm guessing this precludes any "Huma and a Weiner" specials at the pub. Wakka Wakka !

    They were stacked on the floor, next to the end-cap of the beer section - the area where they typically put the new releases as you enter the craft beer isle. I think 7 cases sounds about right - it was clear some had already sold before I arrived. I also looked around in multiple areas and it appeared that was all they had.

    Crap. That's a half hour from where I'm at. Trying to be patient for it to show up my way but the temptation to just drive out there is crazy.

    It should be everywhere by the weekend. There were not many packaged.

    Good deal, in my opinion. And these beers will be nice and fresh.

    One of my spots already said he intends to break up into singles because of the low allocation. Better than nothing I guess.

    My guess is that this 12 pack isn't going to hit Oakland County until normal distribution dates next week

    If your looking at Meijers and they don't have their holiday center aisle display out yet its in the back room....I talked to the Westside distributor today and he showed it to me.. ....Once the display is up it will be out....I plan to get one tomorrow....He had about 16-12 packs ready to be put out....FYI for those looking

    Do you know if this is for most Meijer locations or the ones out your way? I've got the Livonia and Northville Meijers near me.
    I checked at both today and did notice they have the last variety pack on sale, along with most Short's brews.

    Could be the just the ones out this way but in most general cases Meijer has their displays the same through the Michigan regions....But they do change the products displayed based on the local market....But I would assume if they have the holiday display and the gift sets it will be on there once it arrives at the store....We had/have the regular 12 packs and the other one that had guess the hops down the beer aisle...The hoppy holiday one will be only on the center aisle holiday display....from what I seen and talking to the Westside distributor....
