    That TBA slot says MI, OH, IN distribution and they normally do not make that much Kind Ale to go around. My guess is maybe Noble Chaos, but October is a little late for that beer. It may be a different fall this year without Noble or Cup.

    I had the same thoughts, love both of those every year.

    I'm wondering if the 6-pack cans, no bottles is a typo. If not, I'd guess it might be another NEIPA or fruit ale. The shandys have been awesome this year maybe Rosie Palmer will get a release?

    As always Sticky Icky Icky is on par. So glad it's back in season, possibly one of the best IPAs on the market.

    New Private Stache beer up!

    Stray Cat Street Fighting for the Devil (10.2% ABV – 24 IBU) is an experimental English Old Ale brewed with Granny Smith Apples, fermented with a Saccharomyces/Brettanomyces yeast blend, and aged in wine barrels for 15 months. This complex beer leads with malty flavors and aromas of caramel and biscuit, before hitting you with the barnyard funk characteristics of the Brettanomyces. Well balanced, medium bodied, and a touch of apple tartness make this beer a unique treat. Stray Cat Street Fighting for the Devil finishes fairly smooth and dry with some warming notes from the high ABV.

    My Sticky bottles seem to be missing a bottle date.

    mine did too making me wary at the moment it was last year's scratched off but one sip and you know it's freshly delicious. Then again if not you got punked.

    Hello Short's loving BAs! I slept on this announcement, but looks like a few folks are already enjoying Sticky. For all the Short's Brew newbies out there, here's a rundown:

    MI, OH, IN, and WI distro for this one.

    I remember the first time this was released only being able to get a couple bottles. I like being able to now walk into a store and grab a full sixer with ease. It's a fantastic IPA and one of Short's best IMHO.

    Sticky tastes remarkably like Freedom without the Guava. I don't recall noticing this last year. Overall, I think that is a good thing. Anyone else have a similar experience?

    I had a couple of them tonight, and while it's a very good sour, I didn't get from it as much as I was expecting. I could get a tiny bit of the lemon but no cherry, and I like a gose to have just a tad bit more salt character. It's just not as unique as I thought it would be.

    $10/pack. It's chilling in the fridge now, hope it's as good as Not Unofficial.

    Let’s hope this post won’t get deleted! I’ll be a better rule follower this time!

    Anyone happen to know if Short’s made shirts (or any merch) of the Always on Vacation label?

    I don't want to be a downer, but usually the shirts readily available to the public have a flagship on them. I've been looking for a Pan Galactic shirt for years, but the only one made was for a launch event and wasn't for sale. Your best bet is to contact Short's Mart:

    Short's Mart 121 N Bridge St Bellaire, MI 49615
    (231) 498-2300 X 4 - [email protected]

    There's stuff in store that isn't online, at least in my experience. So it might be worth a try. At the very least, the have prints of just about every label that are 14x14, I think.

    They had Pan Galactic shirts for sale last November for the Hoppy sampler. You could pick any of the six beers from that sampler and they'd print a t shirt for that label.
