    It's been bottled- look for it in Michigan stores, next week.

    MMMKAY is a beer originally produced from the final runnings of Aww Jeah. Since then, its own malt bill has been developed so the good people of Michigan can have access to MMMKAY even when Aww Jeah hasn’t been brewed. The initial fragrances are of bold citrus fruit; guava, orange, and lemon. As the head settles, the aromas shift to fresh evergreen accents. Indicated by the light body and pale yellow appearance, the focus of the beer is on hops, rather than malt. An array of enjoyable American hop flavors shock the palate ranging from slightly fruity to an intense earthy pine. A bold bitterness dominates the finish, enhanced by the clean unobtrusive nature of its lager origin.
    5% ABV
    85 IBU

    My favorite thing about this beer is staring at the label art while tripping on peyote! Drinking it isn't half bad either I guess :wink: hahaha

    Top 10 shorts beer for me. And definitely the top IPL I've ever had.

    So, what the description is saying is... it's a Short's beer. :wink:

    Hey, how about we get some of that Bourbon Ben's Asthma bottled!? That stuff's legendary.

    What's availability like by 2nd week of October? I'd love to try this one but won't be in G.R. area for 2 weeks.

    May still be some around. Shoot me a message closer to the time and I'll let you know if there's anything around. Or if you've got some Ghost in the Machine to trade, I'll just pick some up to swap you. :wink: love that beer

    Wish I had some Ghost to trade! Haven't tried it since batch 3, which was not my favorite (too sweet). Last batch was supposed to have been knocked out of the park; much more like 2nd batch, which was really good.
    I'll message you in abt 10 days.

    Cool, I'll be sure to grab an extra sixer either way. You gotta try the Mmmkay, very solid IPL!

    I'm stoked abt the possibility; also the outside chance that ermagerdness (sp) might linger past the first few days of october (how sweet that would be).
    I'm using the ba app and am trying to figure out messaging on it, so I might pm your acct soon as a test. Can't wait to get up there...

    Stopped at 2 bottle shops on the way home. Was able to snag a sixer at the second stop. Hope to grab a bunch more when I see it.

    First store had Pilgrims Dole, so that was a nice consolation prize!

    Grabbed two sixers at Horrock's in Lansing tonight, but they were already down to their last two cases. MMMKay is one of my absolute favorites from Shorts!
