Short's Brewing 2020

Shorts does a fine job with Shandies. They took a beer that I don’t like (Soft Parade) and made it very drinkable (Soft Parade Shandy)

Spruce Tip Picking sound like a great summer activity! Do they plan on picking Rye Not’s as well?

 

I heard there could be a shandy sampler pack coming out this summer. So Scooter could be part of that.

 

I'll be up in Bellaire tomorrow. Looking forward to a Sketches of Winkle and hoping they have something on cask.

 

Do not forget the chocolate chip cookies! Best cookies on the planet!

 

As many times as I've been to Short's, I've never tried them...

 

Try them and thank me later

 

Loving these Wayne County deliveries. Just had Barrel Wit and it hit the spot, but makes me long for some Nicie. Unfortunately after talking to the Short's folks there seems to be too much love/hate on Nicie for them relese again

 

Shnadys are nice but too sweet for me once you get past two, but I know the wife will love this. Seriously the past two years I'm barely able to get get at least one power out of every six pack from her.

 

Mmmmm. July 18th I have a camping trip in Ludington and you best bet that im taking a detour for a white pepper lunch and growler fills for the weekend. Hopefully covid doesnt derail our annual Shanty trip next January

 

As much as I loved Prolonged, I would be fine with Lil' Huma if they dont plan on bringing Prolonged back.

 

Ale La Reverend needs to be brought back!

 

ELK RAPIDS, Mich. — Michigan-based Short's Brewing Company acquired the rights to brew Arcadia Beer, Short’s CEO Scott Newman-Bale confirmed Friday.

He said Short’s plans to get Arcadia brand beers back on the shelves by July 4, 2020 through its Superfluid Supply Co. division.

Short's will brew the beer in Elk Rapids.

Arcadia closed in Kalamazoo in September of 2019.

The Grand Woods Lounge is set to move the site of the former Arcadia Brewing building, located on the edge of downtown Kalamazoo.

The Arcadia Brewing Co. in Kalamazoo faced property foreclosure December 2018, over the building and grounds near the river on the city's east side. Newman-Bale said his company's decision to acquire the rights to the beer is not connected to the property site in Kalamazoo.

Although Arcadia beer brands will no longer be brewed in Kalamazoo, Short’s CEO said most of the beer will be shipped to Kalamazoo to be distributed by Imperial Beverage.

Arcadia founder Tim Suprise said he is grateful for Short's Brewing.

“I’m very grateful that the brand is with a group that cares about craft beer and it’s culture, as opposed to the man who acquired it from the lender by using prevarication, obfuscation and dishonesty with my daughter, my wife and me for strictly the real estate that we developed," Suprise said.

 

Hopefully this means I havent had my last Jaw Jacker after all.

 

I was hoping they would buy the facility and brew Shorts beer in Kalamazoo. Then maybe I could get some barrel aged stuff.

 

Looks like the first beer will be Whitsun. Maybe they'll accidentally fill the cans with Nicie instead.
