    Short's Brewing schedule this year looks great. I was a little late coming to the game so I missed out on some of the earlier ones. Really depressed that I missed Hopstache. I did have the opportunity to try Beard of Zeus, one of the best lagers I've ever had, and Freedom of '78. When I poured that thing and took that first smell... ugh! I just wanted to live in there. Cerveza de Julie, I'm expecting a good version of Corona. I've been wanting Peaches & Creme for a long time. And the month of December looks great.

    Just wondered what everyone's thoughts and wants were on this delicious topic.


    Go Wings!

    I think they're finally brewing and bottling the stuff that is some of their best they've ever made. I just wolfed down a sixer of Dans Pink Skirt last night and am loving their hoppy bottle releases. Keep up the good work Shorts.

    They've been killing it lately, although I was disappointed with this years Woodmaster. I did not like it at all. Preferred the batch from 2 years prior.

    I wasn't even aware of the Pink Skirt being available already. I'll definitely have to make some calls.

    I believe it's only available at the pub right now.

    It's weird in the past Short's has been a hard one to keep buying all of their brews because they are so 'experimental' and a lot of them are hit and miss for me, but this year, there has only been a few of the Short's releases I did not enjoy, but damn I wish they would make Hopstache year long, or a regular seasonal, it was amazing, just got a bit of Anniversary Ale and that it some amazing stuff, can't wait for my connection to drop some Dan's Pink Skirt on me though, I'm sure it will be epic as well.

    Although it's a pub only release, Controversius Maximus came out wondefully. It's a tropical hop bomb that's extremely balanced.

    I've been very pleased with the quality of the new releases this year.

    I'm in TC right now and thinking of heading up there this week, do you know if they still have any Controversius Maximus left in bottles?

    I want to say yes, but not 100% sure. I would just call up the pub and see...

    Go up there anyway. It's not like it'll be a wasted trip.

    I don't think I can make that happen BUT we can all look forward to Barrel Aged Woodmaster this year -- only 2 barrels worth are being produced so I truly hope you get to try it!

    I don't think it will be done aging by then -- how about Winter Beer Fest?
