    Wowee Zowee is getting bottled for the first time ever!

    If not this week, expect it on the shelves across Michigan by the next. I have a feeling it will not last long...

    Wowee Zowee is a refreshing golden ale infused with fresh mint and mango. An abundance of green mint and fruity aromas pour off of this light bodied ale, opening up the senses with a tingling cool freshness. The first taste offers a minty blast up front, followed by some pleasant, fruity, mango sweetness. The enjoyable balance of both flavors turns slightly tart and bitter as it resonates, but with ample carbonation, the overall finish is crisp and clean.
    6.0% ABV
    53 IBU

    Sounds like a beer mojito. Hope I can get some.

    Was at the taproom yesterday, on the way back from beerfest, and was really disappointed that WZ wasn't on tap.

    I rented a cabin on Torch Lake for Sunday-Tuesday, so I will def be hitting the taproom at least a few times while I am up there. Hopefully it'll be at Short's then so I can try it.

    It is not on tap tonight either, nor are there any bottles available yet. Bummer! :slight_frown:

    Short's taplist is so weird...I'm not criticizing, but it's odd that beers that haven't been brewed in years seem more likely to be on tap than beers currently available in bottles.

    Never had this, mint sounds a little off putting but shorts never ceases to surprise me. Excited to try something new as always though.

    Did you try Odd Side's Java Chip? That was a good mint beer.

    Been looking forward to WZ for months now. Hopefully we have a nice, warm summer to really push enjoyment of this brew to its peak!
