    I was really impressed with Bucktricutioner. I'm sad to see PGGB gone, but there's a lot that sounds good on this list. I think Ocho de Mayo might be the one I'm looking forward to most.

    Better be Spruce. If so, I'd have to buy 12 seasonal samplers to get as much Spruce as I did this year. I can't see this being a bad idea.

    Bucktricutioner tasted like lemon water when it was in the variety pack this year. I'll give it another chance, but that thing had no body to it.

    Bim Bam Boom tasted pretty interesting, but a combination of the flavors made it smell like bacon fat oddly enough.

    Bucktricity Kills was in this years variety pack not Bucktricutioner, and it was delicious

    Bim Bam Boom was legit this year, definitely enjoyed it. Overall I like that Short's is changing up selections each year.

    Only been able to try 61 different Short's beers so far. So I'm glad to finally get a little variety next year.

    Couple of thoughts: Glad to see all my favorites like Hopstache, Cup a Joe, and Freedom (in June!!!, as someone already noted) back. My vote is going to Goodnight, as it is my favorite Black IPA out there. I had Mr. Fusion at the pub in May and while it was good, I didn't really think it need distribution. Really looking forward to the beginning of next year and the end of this year, as well.

    Perhaps Spruce can come back as a surprise seasonal after the recipe for Nicie Spicie is accidently destroyed maliciously.

    This right here. I keep giving Nicie a try because every now and again I get a bottle that's spot on and delicious, but for every one there's two that are way too peppery to enjoy on a hot summer day.

    I'm really really down with this schedule. I also have a nice stock of Woodmaster and Spruce left over so that helps. Most pumped to try Swirl Stout, Bucktricity in a sixer and more Freedom (my favorite by a nose). Been wondering about the variety pack for a while now too. Would love to think the delay involved a little barrel aging. Super curious about the Nov-Dec TBD seasonal. Any ideas? Maybe more Woodmaster after all?

    I was told by a rep (this was after the fall variety was moved to November, but before it was canceled totally ) that the pack would include Electric Mullet, London Fog, Earl of Brixom and a fourth TBD. Don't know if that's still the case, but I would love to have those three and BBA (maybe... Aphasia?)

    I am excited about KLP also, however, It seemed to be less potent during the last bottle release then when I had it the first time in 2013. I want the "old" version. It was heavier on the KLP flavor and tang.

    PGGB is my fav shorts beer. If that was year round......I would be an incredibly happy man.

    You're crazy! _______ should have been a year round beer instead of PGGB. What is wrong with Shorts?!?!?!
