    My favorite Short's beer is the one I'm drinking at the moment. But if I had to chose some favs, I would say Bourbon Wizard, The Liberator, Capt. Fantasy, BA Sustenance. Couldn't keep it at one.

    Key Lime is nothing to be ashamed of, it's not like it's Bloody Beer or Rich's Rye or anything, geez.

    Maybe we can get some verification on this in the thread but I believe Ironic Ale is simply renamed and served as one of the house beers at Shakespeares. IIRC it was the same beer as Hanging Frank/ContriversiAle.

    Aww Jeah doesn't sneak into the top 10 at all?! I can't hang out with you anymore.

    Mmmkay at last year's anniversary party was one of the best Short's beers I have ever had, along with fresh bottles of Aww Jeah. Much love for both of those beers for sure. If I had to pick an absolute favorite though, it'd have to be Bourbon Huma....... or maybe Goodnight Bodacious.
