Sour Parade - American Sour Ale - 7.0% ABV, 11 IBU
6 pack bottles, draft
Sour Parade is an American Sour Ale brewed with strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and flaked rye. Ruby red with a bubbly white head, at first glance Sour Parade looks like the Soft Parade we know and love, but a sour secret awaits. A fruity aroma of fresh berries and just a hint of sourdough bread meets the nose. Sweet berry and spicy flavors reminiscent of Soft Parade are accompanied by a bright, sour acidity.

Melt My Brain - Experimental Golden Ale - 4% ABV, 24 IBU
6 pack bottles, 12 pack cans, draft
A true testament to Short’s Brewing innovation, Melt My Brain is a beer that’s made like a radler to drink like a cocktail. We take a Golden Ale and pack it full of two key gin botanicals: coriander and juniper berries, then add a crazy amount of fresh lime. We then blend that ginfully delicious brew with our own house-made tonic water, shandy-style, to brighten the whole thing up and add an extra level of effervescence. The ultimate shower beer, the ultimate lawn-mowing beer, the ultimate summer crusher.

Drinking is believing.

Double the IPA meets seven times the fruit in this punch-inspired brew made with pineapple, passion fruit, apple, orange, papaya, apricot and guava.

Tiki drinks come in all shapes and sizes, folks.
