Short's Suggestions?

Hopstache by the gallon

 

Get some Goodnight Bodacious. If you can;t find Superfluid (and you probably won't), get the Huma.

 

Freedom of '78

 

I would wait till shortly before you are going to be there and ask then, you will have a better idea of what is available at that time.

 

what are you bringing us back from Missouri?

 

This release schedule should help you decide what might still be on store shelves when you visit here. https://www.shortsbrewing.com/2016 bottle-release-schedule/ Watch this forum for a thread that announces the release of each specialty to the distributor. These beers will usually start to show up in stores about a week later, depending on which distributor or area of the state. Most specialties don't last more than two weeks on the shelves of the high-volume stores, but some can still be found for a few weeks longer in quiet stores.

 

Truth

 

This is sound advice - Just revive this thread when you arrive if you need help on where/how to track stuff down, etc. You're gonna get the help you need in this local forum - guaranteed

This.

I just drank my last Superfluid the other day and it's not nearly as good as it is fresh.

Shorts dates their bottles on the neck so whatever you find on the shelves will be dated and help you with your decision.

 

Then again, blackberry steel reserve is always fresh if you're into cough syrup and gut rot

 

Nothing wrong with downing a few Steelies, Natty Daddy's, Icehouse Edges, or Hurricanes when you feel the need to get fucked up real quick
