(Bellaire, MI) – Wait, is that another label where it appears like someone is hanging?
Hangin’ Frank, is that you? Kind of a strange drawing (obviously just a stream of beer, I know…or a stick as a comment suggests?) but, nevertheless, there is another new release coming from the ever-experimenting Short’s Brewing.
From the brewery’s Facebook page: “We bottled The Curl! It is an imperial pilsner made with maze and pilsen malt and “unbalanced” with Amarillo Hops (not typically used in a pilsner). The result is a clean, delicious beer that is brilliantly clear and lightly carbonated. A perfect springtime beer and one of our in-house favorites! Look for it to hit stores soon!”
Beer description via the brewery website: “One of the first Imperial beers made at Short’s, this American Pilsner has an appealing clear, bright, golden straw color. Faint esters of fresh baked bread and grain aromas precede the flavor resulting from the abundance of flake maize used in this recipe. Hefty doses of hops create a pronounced dryness that seamlessly blends with the crisp, clean finish.”
According to that Facebook page, this was the brewery’s first-ever beer released in bottles (at the time, 750s). This is new artwork though.
I don’t think it’s a stream of beer. It appears to be a stick upon which he is balancing a glass of beer, a difficult act to be sure!
Ah, I thought that was a tap pouring beer into his face!
looks like another dude hangin!
This was in homage to one of their bartenders who was a trickster with a pint. He would balance them on a stick, which was standing on his chin.
Cool, I think that was similar to the case of Hangin’ Frank. It was based on a story that few outside of the local area were aware of…It kind of looks like another guy hanging or someone drinking from a tap. They should have made the stick a different color.
That said, I wonder if there is video of this trick on Youtube? Would love to see it.
