Short's Brewing Releases & Updates (2018)

I agree!! - a damn good beer!!

This is one where the imperial version is better than the base beer (in my opinion of course)

Got PGGB around the corner and another round of Superfluid in December (I guess I’m going to drink more than two cases of this beer this calendar year) and I’m just chomping at the bit for a Batch 5000 release still yet this year!!!

 

Hellacious Rock is incredible. Best limited IPA in a long time. Classic Shorts bitterness but still easy drinking.

 

GUYS GUYS GUYS GUYS




I am getting really emotional over here. All time top 3 brew for me, and it's back in six packs and bigger than ever!

 

Anyone seen Variety Pack 4.0 in the wild? We just got Hellacious Rock and Mule Beer here a day or two ago and I'm jonesing for some Spruce.

 

No luck yet on 4.0, Mule Beer is phenomenal though!

 

Anyone have any idea what the "T.B.A." beer will be in November?

I hope its Set Phasers to Love or Revels Mondo, but my best guess would be Pistachio Cream Ale since thats been on tap at the pub for awhile and featured at the GABF & U.P. fall beerfest.

 

Aorta ale or Bludgeon yer eye would be nice.

 

I'm hopeful, but not optimistic, that's it's a triumphal return for Evil Urges. This is usually its release time when it was on the schedule.
Pistachio cream would be a fantastic release though.

 

From Short's Brewing Facebook :

Juicy Tree is in the tanks and having a good ol' time.

 

So, the TBA release in November will be announced in a week or two. Also it's not a beer we've ever seen before. So there's that. Let the speculation continue.

 

I bet its another IPA with fruit or a rare hop added.

 

That's my fear. There's a couple of label approvals that haven't shown up yet:



This one from a little while ago. There's no description in the portfolio yet.

Then there's these:





I'm not seeing the words "Belgian" and "Dark" so you know how I feel.

 

Based on those labels, Bonsai would make the most sense for that TBA November release since it would be just in time for the University of Michigan vs. Ohio game on 11/24.

 

The "NXT" IPA looks like an MMA-endorsed energy drink.

 

Is anyone seeing PGGB on store shelves yet this week?

 

We just got Mule and Hellacious over here a couple days ago and haven't yet seen the new variety pack. It'll probably be another week until I see PGGB

 

I came across PGGB at Meijer today.

 

I was confused by this. I almost didn't buy it because I thought it was an amber ale, but the label art is so attractive and I do like amber ales (although I don't drink them too often) so I decided to give it a shot. When I read it was an ESB, I got excited and when I tasted it I got even more excited. To me this is one of the best Michigan beers. Not quite true to the style, as it is rather hoppy for an ESB but I like how it's kind of an American interpretation of an ESB and it just has so much flavor.

Ironically it does taste kind of like an amber ale, but I would rate this well above the other amber ales I've had.

 

Sipping on a PGGB, tasty as usual. Still wondering when the variety 4.0 is going to show up.

 

Picking up some PGGB, can't wait for the weekend!
