Short's Brewing Releases & Updates (2018)

I'm really enjoying Noble Chaos this year. I've always enjoyed it. Just seems really good this year.

 

Wowee Zowee part of the next variety pack. Really enjoyed that one the first time around.

 

NEW BEER(S) UP!

Here's the one @SeanfromShorts has been teasing for a while. Variety pack 6 is released, as our tatsebuds water in anticipation and our livers groan. Really, 6 variety packs has to be some kinda record.

First up, Gary Juicy:


"Gary Juicy: Gary Juicy (5.6 % – 45 IBU) is a crazy, hazy, India Pale Ale brewed with Neo 1 hops from Michigan’s very own Mr. Wizards Hops, Simcoe powder, and orange juice. Hazy and gold in color, Gary Juicy pours with a dense white head. Aromas and flavors of orange and tropical fruit are complemented by a malty backbone. Gary Juicy has a delicate mouth feel and finishes with a very mild and pleasant bitterness."

And I gotta say: Look at that label! Don't say Short's doesn't listen, because it's been de-Noltefied. Excellent job!




" Cozy Blanket: Cozy Blanket (5.1% ABV – 31 IBU) is an American Porter. Dark brown with a thick and creamy mocha colored head, Cozy Blanket has aromas of chocolate and caramel. This American Porter has a full-bodied mouth feel with flavors of chocolate, toffee, and caramel. Cozy blanket finishes smooth with a nice nutty flavor."



" Wowee Zowee: Wowee Zowee (6.2% ABV – 50 IBU) is an Experimental American Amber Ale brewed with fresh mint and mango. Slight sweetness with medium to light fruit tones are provided by mango, while fresh mint brings balanced herbal refreshment. The malt and hop character of the amber ale work masterfully in conjunction with the fruit and herbal qualities of mango and mint finishing crisp and clean."




" Kölsch 45: Kölsch 45 is a unique warm fermented ale, that is aged like most traditional German Lagers at a cool temperature. Though light in body and color, its prominent hoppiness and radiant yellow “straw” color set it apart. The sustaining head retains prominent, pleasant aromas which aid in the crisp, refreshing nature of this beer. Hop bitterness is present, but not overwhelming."


I've been waiting years for a Wowee release, and although it's not a sixer, I'll take what I can get for now.


Per the release, it's coming soon and

" While the majority will be in Michigan, some small quantities will be headed to other areas of distribution."

 

Wowwee zowee is my spirit animal I loooovee that Sh** ! ! !

 

NEW BEER UP!



From the website:

Looks like this one is gonna be Michigan only, folks.

 

Dude. Can't wait to try it. Big fan of regular BCP so already eager to track down the BA. Your review makes this a priority!

 

Zangief’s Bearhug is a pitch black Russian Imperial Stout with a dark brown milk shake lace. Thick and full on the palate, rich cocoa and roasted malt flavors create a bold bitterness that lingers into a warming dry finish.

That stuff is incredible!

 

Have not had it, looking forward to trying

 

How hard will this beer be to find throughout the state? Imperial BCP and BCP are two of my favorite Shorts beers.

 

What's Shorts shipping out to CO for GABF?

 

This just might be the best Shorts label artwork+name ever!

 

I'm a big fan of what Short's puts in the bottle, but I will admit, I don't always care for what they they put on the bottle.

 

I had to google just not to get the reference

 

Anybody finding bourbon barrel black cherry yet? The past few bomber releases from Shorts haven't seemed to show up on my social media feeds. I'm a little worried that this is going to come and go before I even realize it's out there...

 

Haven't seen it yet. Usually see our new shorts stuff on Mondays so I was surprised it didn't hit yesterday here in southern Michigan

 

Has there been any sightings of the new variety pack in SE Michigan yet?

I've got to get my share of Wowee - it's been too long!

 

Just went to my local place in Livonia and they didn't have either the variety pack or black cherry. Although they seem to get their Short's stuff on Thursdays mostly.
