Short's Brewing 2020

Space Rock as long as I can remember has maintained flagship status as Michigan only. But yes, definitely check the dates as I know the Space Rock around here is always 4 or 5 months old unfortunately.

 

Man, this one was tough to track down. I thought I missed the boat by waiting a week, as I hit all the stops you mentioned with no luck. Figured I’d hit Wine Castle on the way home just in case, and was able to snag the last sixxer they had!

This was reminiscent of tracking down Shorts Cake back when it was super limited (2012-2013 maybe?)

Anyway, can’t wait to try it....

 

I dug it, gave few bottles tosto friends and they seemed to enjoy it as well. I don't think I could do more than one in a night though.

 

It was more sour than I expected but still very good.

If you want to save yourself some trips around town, check the Short's beer finder on their website. The distributor normally updates the deliveries to their accounts same day. Sounds like you are in the same area as me, so most places in Plymouth and Livonia get their Short's delivered on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

 

Thanks for the tip. I’ll try that next time. My history with beer finders in the past hasn’t been great, but sounds like this one is accurate.

I dig sours, so I’ll likely be a fan

 

Would it make sense just to give two beers a bye. I would suggest the highest ranking beers in terms of average better not pull bridges are variants. Immediately catching my eye were psychedelic cat grass in publican porter. I think both are worthy of byes.

 

I apologize for noticing this late in the game, but why isn’t Spruce Pilsner not on the list?

 

I thought it didnt make it because it has been in a hoppy sampler pack. If spruce makes it so should aww jeah, goodnight bodacious, and hellacious rock since they have also been in six packs in the past.

 

I guess one way to look at it would be that the beers you mentioned might have a better place on the list than those beers with the bottom scores on the list.

 

I really enjoyed Gingersnap, I must have been the only one though for it to land at the bottom of the list.

 

I enjoyed it too. By way of comparison, nobody will acknowledge that they enjoyed Cinnabilly.

 

Definitely one of the coolest labels! A little too much cinnamon for me though.

 

Magician is currently at Our Family stores. Shorts Shandy was last summer.

 

After looking at that list and remembering so many....am I the only one who thinks they aren't nearly as experimental as they used to be since the sell out? I guess they have tried more sours. ?
