    Well, well well....the time has finally arrived.

    I know many of you out there (including myself) have been looking forward to this next installment. It seems like only yesterday Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster was gracing our draft lines at the pub for the very first time. Little did we know, it would soon become one of the most praised brews Short's has ever produced.

    From what I've been told, this week will start to hit stores this week. I have a feeling it will fly out of this galaxy pretty darn fast, so stay on your toes and good luck!

    Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster -- A Double Belgian IPA brewed exclusively with galaxy hops. The nose is an impressive blend of citrus aromas reminiscent of guava and lemons, very green and fresh with subtle Belgian yeast esters. An intense clean bitterness dominates the flavor profile with little malt character to compete with. A slight fruity yeast sweetness is noticeable in the finish alongside a resounding bitterness.
    ABV 8.4%

    They have it at Drake Party Center. They might hold a 6 pack for you.

    Good luck, I just called my bottle shop and he said he got his shipment in today and only has 3 6er's left. I think Herman nailed it when he said its going to fly out of the galaxy fast...

    Best all-around Belgian IPA I've ever had hands down.
