[MarcatGSB1]

Any solid bottle shops in Traverse City? I'll be up for a week mid July visiting my parents as I do every year. Usually just hit 7 Monks, etc, but looking for a nice selection of things to take out golfing.

Usually hit the Beverage Company and feel good about myself when I walk out.

What MarcatGSB said.

I'll add that Tilly's and Burritt's both occasionally have hidden gems. If you go to Burritt's, ask for Shawn and tell him Aaron from Indy sent you. And if you go to Tilly's, ask for Tiffany and tell her the same.

 

[psykosis]

Another Private Stache is on the way...

Hi-Dilly-Ho is a Flanders Red released as a part of Short’s Private Stache series. This beer is complex with aromas reminiscent of cherry, currant, and oak. Its flavors range from fruit to red wine to subtle malt. Hi-Dilly-Ho is medium-bodied with a moderate acidity and a dry finish.

To be released June 10th, 2016 at 11:00 am.

Elk Rapids, Mich. – Short’s Brewing Company of Bellaire and Elk Rapids, MI announces distribution of Psychedelic Cat Grass, a triple dry hopped American India Pale Ale. Billed as a “Without Delay IPA,” Short’s plans to package and distribute the beer within 24 hours; allowing customers to enjoy this beer on the same day it was packaged, resulting in out-of-this world freshness.

The brewery describes Psychedelic Cat Grass as a triple dry hopped American India Pale Ale first brewed for HopCat. Aromas of pineapple, mango, and grapefruit accompany the brew’s slightly hazy, pale orange color and lasting white head. A dry finish is preceded by balanced flavors of tropical fruit and bitter hops.

The idea to package and distribute a beer in one day came from Short’s Partner, Scott Newman-Bale. “We originally talked about executing this at our pub only, but in true Short's fashion we decided to push ourselves further and extend this to the state of Michigan and beyond. Why not go all in and see just how psychedelic we can get?!”

According to Newman-Bale, the company plans to send Psychedelic Cat Grass to any of their current distributors willing to take on the challenge of same day distribution. So far this includes Short’s longtime Michigan distributor, Imperial Beverage. Full distribution information will be posted on Short’s website at a later date. Psychedelic Cat Grass will also be served on tap at Short’s Bellaire pub and for sale in bottles at the pub and Short’s Mart, Short’s Bellaire “brewtique.”

We shall see if Imperial can pull this off.

Got a case of Spruce Pils--insanely smooth. Less pine than previous years? Eitherway--hopefully I'll get to pick up a couple more six packs before they vanish.

Update: way too smooth. definitely does not register as a 10% beer

 

[sostark]

Just capped a Psychedelic Cat Grass. Very much reminiscent of Founders All Day, but silkier, fruitier and less malty bitterness on the back end. Mmmkay + a few abv %s

 

[AnchorDrops]

malty bitterness

Can you elaborate on "malty bitterness"?

 

[sostark]

Can you elaborate on "malty bitterness"?

I knew I was gonna get it for that--I meant to say that There is not a harsh bitterness--much more herbal like mmmkay and all day--and very little malty after taste

So, its balanced?

I stopped at one place on the way home and it was sold out, not suffering from FOMO though as I rarely enjoy Short's hoppy offerings. Maybe this one would be different? Oh well.
