    I will be traveling to Ann arbor area next weekend. Is peaches n cream, key line and strawberry cake still generally available on shelves or harder to find? Thanks in advance!

    key lime a tough find I'd say..of the fruity ones, Peaches is most likely as mike409 said.

    Might check Canopy in Brighton. They gouge "price an inordinate amount over typical store markup" but stuff stays in stock longer.

    Another store whose prices are ridiculous keep stuff in stock longer is Main Street Party Shop in Ann Arbor. I haven't been there recently, but they're probably your best bet in the area.

    Dont forget to load up on insulin too. P&C and KLP are diabetes sugar bombs

    Sweet beers? Yes, however I feel that the sweetness falls appropriately within the description of desserts they are replicating. They are in no way as sweet as ST Creme Brulee (just excessive) or Dark Lord (just tastes under attenuated). I think the diabetes bomb is a bit misleading.

    Yeah my sugar tolerance must be way too high. Short's dessert beers pale in comparison to the sweetness of Dark Lord, Pumking, Creme Brûlée, etc.

    The Shorts Cake and the Key Lime Pie are not sweet, to me, I did find the Peaches and Cream sweet but as was said above not totally surprising that a peach beer would be sweet.
