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

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.”
Can you elaborate on "malty bitterness"?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 tasteCan you elaborate on "malty bitterness"?
So, its balanced?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
Just cracked a bottle. Pretty good.This, kind ale and mmmkay are on another level for shorts! Really excited with how well this turned out. Grade a stuff!
This!!! So much so, same as up here in the sticks 3 days after bottling. Not any more....oh well at least we have trillium, oh wait...Just cracked a bottle. Pretty good.
I like the gimmick but liked it more when most Shorts showed up in SE Michigan within two or three days of bottling like it did as recently as last year.
I don't get. Every new release was here with 48 hrs. Now we get Freedom almost a month later. And don't get me started on the cans.This!!! So much so, same as up here in the sticks 3 days after bottling. Not any more....oh well at least we have trillium, oh wait...
The cans....fml. Nothing in the plans that I know of but I'm sure sometime in the next month or two! Glad to see you're still in townI don't get. Every new release was here with 48 hrs. Now we get Freedom almost a month later. And don't get me started on the cans.
You gonna be down this way anytime soon?
I'd add Freedom and ... well, uh, Freedom.I drank a 2 1/2 week old can of Huma last week that was a malty, sticky mess. Maybe my tastes have changed, but I used to love that beer fresh and now there's no way I'm buying it again. Frankly, there's probably only a handful of their beers I'll be buying in the future--Cup a Joe, Hopstache, Kind Ale, and Dan's Pink Skirt.
Everything else is either not to my taste to begin with, or has left me disappointed.
Yup huma I feel the same, I did take locals light tubing last weekend and it was a nice drinker...citra locals really wows me...why they don't can that and distro it every where blows my mindI drank a 2 1/2 week old can of Huma last week that was a malty, sticky mess.

I hear you on the Huma cans, but then I find them to be my best option a lot of times and I like the ability of taking them camping, to beach etc. Huma initially turned me off and I know I've had some off bottles, but I still find it to my go to when I can't find a specialty from someone else. I would argue that most Bells generally strike me as overly malty sticky messes.I drank a 2 1/2 week old can of Huma last week that was a malty, sticky mess.
