(Bellaire, MI) – Short’s Brewing announced on its blog that two beers will hit 6-packs.


Over the summer, several labels from this brewery were approved to hit 6-packs eventually. This month, that becomes a reality for two brews: Black Cherry Porter and Bloody Beer.

Description for BCP: One of our biggest beers offered, the Black Cherry Porter is a full flavored strong porter brewed with sweet black cherries. The formula consists of several different malts, lending deep opaque color with purple lace from the fresh fruit it’s fermented with. Nearly 4 lbs. of fresh sweet black cherries go into each gallon of brew. A flavor of deep lustrous malt complexity and fullness, yet smooth with soft hints of toasted chocolate and pleasurable black cherry flavors.

Description for Bloody Beer: Made w/ hundreds of pounds of fresh Roma tomatoes, and then spiced w/ dill, celery seed, peppercorns, and horseradish this beer was a brewing challenge every step of the way. We encourage proper decanting practices, and a slightly warmer drinking temperature, in order to taste all of the flavor complexities added from the non traditional brewing ingredients. The tomato flavor up front is astounding and even picked up in the nose, along w/ all of the other spices. The finish lingers w/ each additional flavor taking it’s turn to resonate on your palate, all individually distinguishable and yet uniform as they would be in a real bloody Mary.

More on what might be coming can be found here. Also of note, Good Humans will return in bottles as a seasonal from Black Friday through February, replacing Autumn Ale.

Finally, some good news…per Short’s rep, Scott Newman-Bale, “We are expecting the first of 10 new fermenters in two weeks so then we can make a little more of each [beer] and make [managing high demand] a little easier on all of us.”
