    Exeter is definitely quite tart as Anchordrops mentioned....Another good sour by Shorts....I absolutely love sours but as tart as this one is...A single bottle at a time is enough....Loved it though

    The large specialty releases make it outside the state.

    I never had the first batch of MMB, but I had a can of the new batch last weekend. I very much enjoyed it. I got plenty of lime. I would purchase it regularly if it was available in Chi for those summertime, all-day, drinking days.

    Love MMB, but not enough is making to Indiana this time. Reinforcements are needed!

    I think I saw Short's Cake clocks in at 4.3% this year. Even though it wasn't TOO much higher in the past, I'm looking forward to session with it this summer at that low ABV!

    Picked up a six of shortscake at plum mkt in west bloomfield. Oh yes. I love strawberries. I also love shortcake. You know.... I really love them together. in this beer. every year. Oh and the victory malt really gives it a some biscuit/light toast flavors. This beer is a home run every year and one of my favorites ! Pick some up if you haven't tried one.

    Its my fav summer beer and one friends and family ask for. (besides my homebrew..which they rarely ask for because I brew APA and IPA almost exclusively lol.. though german pils and lager beers make appearances throughout the summer)

    New variety pack w/ Superfluid hitting stores soon. UBER fresh. That being said, lots of our brews will be hitting the stores literally a few days after packaging. If your store rotates, you should notice this. Enjoy.

    For all Pineapple Pilsner fans, it will be part of the next variety pack- most likely out in August!

    Funny you asked, that's one of the others. The other two will be kept a secret.

    It sure looks like Short's listens to us here on the BA site, so how about getting us some PGGB before the end of the year? :grinning:

    And I respect them for listening.

    Sidenote, I was in Michigan yesterday and found six packs of Publican Porter. By God I love that beer.

    There is a distinct possibility.

    You are correct sir.....Shorts listens.

    I gripped about Superfluid and I was told my
    opinion would be considered and alas here it is......wish it were in individual 6 packs but at least it was bottled......

    Got my latest sampler today. Pretty sweet that everything in the box was bottled within the last 2 weeks. Can't wait to dig in tonight. Pretty excited about Kwikriek too.

    Welp, I guess it's time for one of my favorite activities: knocking back a few and writing mash notes/wish lists to brewers.


    I think Short's finally has their timing down. I remember when some of the releases were bottled at least a month or two before they hit the shelves. I think everything this year has been pretty freshly bottled.
