    I always think the latest release is my favorite, then something else comes out.

    I've been known to put down a huma or two, but that Hopstache release earlier this year blew me away...definitely a top 5 beer of the year for me.

    To everyone else's point, I love the business model; A handful of flagships beers and a weekly distribution-wide release. Seems like each week's release becomes my favorite Short's offering.

    Wow, no love for Pink Skirt? That's insane. I wish Pink Skirt was the summer seasonal, it's like the perfect beer for summertime.

    Additionally, Bourbon Sustenance is a favorite.

    I forgot Good Humans. I like that one a lot as well, it's one of the only brown ales I can truly say I want to drink more than once.
