    Scored a 6er from the pub thanks to jb123. Looking forward to doing a 2012/2013 side-by-side soon.

    Hmm...this was actually voted to be the least liked and damn near undrinkable by the group I was with at the party. Way too much and overpowering sour citrus, then some spice. Not much else to it. In our opinion, glad you guys like it!

    Unfortunately I feel the same way. This and smoked apple ale are the only two Shorts beers that I dislike. Not sure what it is about this one. I'll look for a single bottle and give it another shot this year though. With how much ass Shorts has been kicking lately, I'd hate to miss one.

    My thoughts exactly. Last year's I felt had a bit more peppercorn in it, not as sweet as previous years. But given Shorts' track record with beer releases this year, I expect this to be awesome.

    Well, I took a wild guess it would be released late in the week. These days it seems like it's been one a week! It was bottled last Friday, so it's probably sitting at Imperial waiting to go. I'd say next week at the latest. Thanks for your support, Holiday is a phenomenal account for us.

    I know the Village Market in Elk Rapids is trying to get some. Any idea when they might see it? They don't know, and can't seem to get an idea when.

    Apparantely Imperial mislead the mid Oakland store that then mislead me... hearing next week for what is it worth. Might as well load up the family truckster and head north to get it from the pub.
