    Same Short's, just more coverage. So, Pants.

    I kinda feel this is similar to when you like a band and they're "your" band. They do a cover, get more exposure and are a massive success. Now they aren't your band anymore because they appeal to so many more people. Make sense? I'm happy for them. This will make even their beer even better l term I think

    Had this last night, very hot but super drinkable. No off putting onion smell/flavor like devil dancer.

    I had one last night too and agree it's a winner. Though it finishes hot its drinking great right now.

    Grabbed a bottle in Grandville today (last one). Stopped at another place in Wyoming and they said they only got 9 bottles and all were gone.

    The eagle has landed in AA. At $22, a bit pricey but I don't mind supporting Shorts. Quite anxious to try it!

    Yup, its like chasing a ghost. Called 4 places who already sold out of all their bottles. Many of them only got in 6-12 bottles total. Managed to get one finally at Horrock's and it was their last one, $21.49. Drinking it tonight, I'll report back. Interested to hear from you East siders on limits/allocations. This seems to be the most scarce Short's beer that's hit distribution yet as far as I can tell.

    I was pretty ecstatic to find some in the Ann Arbor area, but ultimately walked away due to the price tag. $21 for an TIPA bomber is just a little too rich for my blood, even if it is rare. For a beer of that style, I was expecting it to be somewhere in the $10-$15 ball-park. The store only received 6 bottles.

    I'm with ya. 21-22 bucks is only a little bit more than a Private Stache release but hey, gotta draw the line somewhere I guess. I'm probably going to skip this and use that money for more Hazel's Nuts this weekend.

    Ugh. I was afraid that would be the price point.
