Beer Release (Short's Brew): Key Lime Pie

I haven't had Short's yet, unfortunately... then again, I haven't had Founders just yet either.

This sounds DAMN good.

 

Love Short's , but just finished a case from last year ( used for BBQ ) just too damn sweet for a ipa junkie like me. Please take no offense to this just don't like sweet beers anymore . In the past I loved DFH Indian brown now it's just too sweet.

Oh and I got a mule coming your way 8/15/12 thu 8/18/12 hope to get some really good growlers fills

Cheers

 

This year's version is quite good. Grabbed a growler for a BA in Lansing, and had to have some myself when I was there.

It's official, Shorts does it again. Now if they could just bring out the Peaches and Cream...

 

Never liked this one, simply does not taste anything like Key Lime Pie to me. I am hoping I can get a friend to get me a 6 pack of Peaches and Cream and bring it down here.

 

Really wish this didnt referment within 5 minutes of being out of the fridge in the bottle, because it is so damn good off the tap.

 

Had a couple growlers of this years and it is damn tasty.

 

Anyone know what the suggested retail price is? Enjoying a growler and plan on ordering a couple of sixers.

 

On their site it says $10.99-$12.99 I think

 

I always get pumped for this one. If this batch is anywhere near the quality that Strawberry Short's Cake was, then I am sure I'm in for a treat. You guys have been on point lately.

 

I have no idea how people like this...but more power to yah.

 

Yes. I've had growlers that were meticulously refrigerated from brewery to tasting that bordered on life-changing events. I've also had bottles that gushed all over my kitchen counter. A fickle mistress, this Key Lime Pie.

 

Yeah, agreed the shorts cake this year was fantastic. I've been looking forward to this too because I got a six pack last year and it had some weird off flavors to it.

Yeah, hopefully the pasteurization, if they're using it on this brew, should help. Lets hope it doesn't change it too much though.

 

FT: 6 pack of 2011 Key Lime Pie

I'm a huge advocate of your brewery, but I just couldn't finish my 2 6'ers last year. I revisited this year and it is definitely past its shelf life.

I'll be skipping this one, but saving my money for Peaches and Cream.

 

I've been waiting to try this one, haven't had it in years past. The Strawberry Short's Cake was so good this year, I have very high hopes for the Key Lime now.
Is Peaches and Cream coming out soon as well? Is it a pub only or does it go into distribution?

 

I'm fairly certain it gets bottled. For about the same price as the Key Lime Pie.

 

key lime pie rules!!!

 

I think this may be the first year because I've never seen it before. But according to their list on the site, which has been updated, its this month too. I think I read somewhere on here that it will be towards the end, I'm not positive on that though.

 

Only drank it thru sept2011 then used it for cooking ( BBQ ) I don't do drain pours ,I cook with it , made a really good port-a-pit chicken clone .
