Shorts Brewery, MI
Sunday, March 08, 2009
Just opened a bottle of Short's Bellaire Brown Ale, a dark, rich and malty American Ale. The malt hits you up front but the beer does finish a little on the sweet side with hints of molasses. Its quite good and one that you could drink a few of.
Shorts is a brewery in Bellaire, MI which is up north, between your pinky and ring finger on your right hand (for all you MI folks who use your hand to give non locals a perspective. The micro brew is quite popular and has a wide range of brews. I have had a few on tap at different bars but they finally got their bottle distribution going and down here in the metro Detroit area. My local wine store Cloverleaf sent out an email on Thursday and by Saturday they had a few six packs left. A few other stores sold out the first day. I was able to pick up a Pale, IPA and Brown which I will be sampling over the next week.
The beer doesn't come close to Bells or Dogfish Head but those breweries are in a different class and very few others can compete. The beer is quite good tho and I highly recommend you try it. One of these days I will get up to the actual brewery.
