    Well looks like our 2020 thread has been locked, so let's start the 2021 one as I drink my 2nd to last Spruce Pilsner.

    So the last thread ended with a throw back to past beers (post #497) that highlighted many classics that we havent had in way too long. Personally I need my Autumn Ale and Noble Chaos back to properly bring in the fall season this year and maybe some Nicie for summer (which isnt happening because Joe told me last year that too many people hate Nicie and probably be a pub brew only for the near future :slight_frown: ). Luckily they have Autumn Ale on tap and I'll be up there next week and get my fill of that haha.

    Anyways here is to hopefully finally seeing a delayed Super Delicious Stout and Batch 12,000 in the coming weeks.

    Someone mention Batch 12000?
    No sign of Super Delicious yet, but looks like this will be the first release of 2021.

    Absolutely love the “Batch” series, especially 5K. Hated to see that one drop out of the Hoppy packs after a couple appearances.

    Don’t see an ABV for this one, but based on its predecessors, I’m not sure I need the extra 4 oz!

    Releases are not starting to pick up!

    Still no Super Delicious Stout, but a damn decent ale is on the way. This will be MI and IL only, get it while you can. Or don't. Or get some PB&J'ale'y. I'm going dry in January so at this point I'm just stocking up for later this year.

    From what I heard is there are packaging delays for canned releases due to switching from plastic to cardboard rings.

    I was told Short's Mart is expexted to get Batch 12,000 next week, which means the rest of Michigan the following week.

    Good, then it's not me. I've been on the lookout to grab some to stash away and PBJ dropped in a place nearby but no 12000. Thanks for the update

    New Year, new beer. Get ready to splurge on this one:

    Look for it in a week in MI, IL, IN, WI, OH, and CO.

    Jesus 9.1%.... Wish they would give me more of the sweet hazy controversALE instead of constant doubles.

    A couple things of note, Short's Fans:


    An announcement for the Super Delicious Stout, Extreme Beer Fest Edition® promises a release soon to the Michigan market. Funny enough, the company handling the shipping for the Virtual Beer Fest can't ship to Michigan so we have to wait for the Short's release.

    Next, another Arcadia Ale is back after the releases of Whitsun and Jaw Jacker. Porter Rico makes its return:

    If I had to name two Arcadia ales I'd like to see back off the top of my head it would be this one and Morning Nightcap, so I'm half pleased seeing this one available.

    A few items found in the label approvals: two Private Staches and a potential release.


    First up, holy shit, this label:

    A Farmhouse ale:

    And Double Soft Parade:

    With Double Huma and now Double Soft Parade, I think it's time to start a campaign for Double Bellaire Brown.

    Also, I started to think what the ABV on a Double Soft Parade would be. SP is officially listed at 7.5%, but I swear at one point it was north of 9%, and almost 12% when I first started drinking Short's brews. I'm probably wrong, but I've also heard from others I've talked to that SP at one point was a monster in the ABV department. Maybe when it was a part of the Imperial Series?

    With Double Soft Parade, we now have ...

    Soft Parade
    Double Soft Parade
    Soft Parade Shandy
    Soft Parade Seltzer

    Who the hell is buying all of this Soft Parade?

    I remember it being 9% too. In fact, I thought it still was. It’s been a long while since I’ve had one though.

    Well, here's a kick in the balls:

    https://www.shortsbrewing.com/2021-anni-party-cancelled/

    Ticket holders can hold on until the next party, either Short'sFest 2021 or Anni 2022, whichever happens first. Or, get a gift card for ticket value plus $5, or full refund. Check the link for details.

    Get used to it. Nothing is gonna happen in 2021 either.

    Anyone hear a word about batch 12000? I thought this would have hot distro a week or 2 ago.

    They have it at Shorts Mart, maybe not hitting distribution?

    That would be extremely disappointing, considering we also have Super Delicious yet to make it out in the wild as well. And Nitro Furry Buddy has dropped off the release schedule.

    I've also decided to roll my Anni Party tickets forward till next year, so I'll see any of you guys who are going.
