When I was writing about Larry Bell last week - the video posted of him tasting a long lost bottle of beer that was brewed in 1987 - it hearkened back to a different time in Michigan craft beer history. What's happened since those early days, it certainly is a incredible success story, and some recently release figures back that up.
With the arrival of Short's Third Quarter Beer Release list is a fact that just jumps out at you somewhat out of nowhere; it's almost the third quarter of 2021 already.
Everything, slowly but surely (no, I'm not calling you Shirley) seems to be turning positive this year. This means we'll probably be drinking a Michigan beer or two, hopefully sooner than later. And the folks in Bellaire, Short's Brewing are ready.
I know. I know. These lists come out one after another, and it can be overwhelming. But our lives are so slow these days, due to pretty much everything being shut down by the pandemic, that we need something, even if it's for bragging rights. So here goes.
