2017 Beer Release Schedule and Fan’s Choice Voting
We can think of many descriptors to describe just how we feel about this election cycle, but we’ll leave it at this: thirsty. Now, more than ever, America is in need of some good ol’, thirst quenching news. Which is why friends, we’ve decided to spread a little good news with the announcement of our 2017 Release Schedule!
Built with input from dedicated fans, staff, and accounts in mind, we’re stoked to say that our 2017 Release Schedule is our best yet. From a killer list of specialty brews (including state-wide bomber releases) to a revised list of seasonal beers (helloooo Prolonged Enjoyment!), we know we’ve picked our tastiest line up to date.
In fact, you can listen to our whole 2017 release schedule as sung by Braxton & Hicks (Joe Short & Seth Bernard).
Like the song says, we’re once again leaving one spot vacant for dedicated members of the Short’s-i-verse to fill using (drum roll please) the democratic process! That’s right, it’s time to get online and vote for our 2017 fan’s choice release. This year, we’ve narrowed the field by selecting a slate of candidates that exemplify the best that Short’s has to offer. We’ve got a beer for the hop heads, I Got 5 On It; an experimental brew, Mule Beer; a beer for the animal lover, Old Reliable; and a beer that our Southwest Liberator, Sean, just won’t give up on: the fabled Pineapple Pilsner.
Voting for the 2017 Fan’s Choice beer begins today, Monday, October 17th and will end at 11:59 pm on Sunday, November 6th, 2016. Each Short’s fan may vote once per day using the ballot below. The winner will be announced once the votes are tallied on Monday, November 7th.
While we can’t predict the outcome of the presidential election, we’re guaranteed one win this election season with the selection our 2017 Fan’s Choice brew. Vote now!

I Got 5 On It: | 690 |
Mule Beer: | 338 |
Old Reliable: | 69 |
Pineapple Pilsner: | 619 |

Can we bottle and sell Bloody Beer, please knock out the Atwater/McClure attempt at a tomato based beer!

Please,oh please let Pineapple Pilsner Win!!
Short’s does hoppy beers better than anyone,I think we all know this!!
Let’s bring something more unique into the mix!
The thought of sipping an ice cold pineapple pils on a hot summer day has got me dreaming!! C’mon back summer!! C’mon Pineapple Pilsner!!
Is power of love coming back? It’s definitely our favorite.
Power of Love will be back in August. You can see the full schedule here.
Unfortunately I have not made it up to Bellaire in almost five years. Next summer that will change and I can not wait. Keep pushing the envelope! I will make it up soon enough.
Whatever wins, I know it will be superb.
I was just back in Michigan earlier this month and had your Mule Beer. How I would love to enjoy this beer on a warm SoCal summer day! Any chance you’ll be distributing further west anytime soon? (Pretty, pretty please!g I miss y’all like woah! SoCal needs more experimental brews other than just West Coas IPAs, and if you’re opening up that market more…yeah I thinks that’s a big of enough hint. Keep making rock’n beer! Cheers!
I’m not saying there’s a wrong choice, but Pineapple Pilsner is clearly the right one.
your beers are amazing and fun! cmon on mule!
I’m also rallying hard for Mule Beer. It is sooooo good!!! It’s the clear winner in my opinion:)
Moher stout moher stout moher stout moher stout moher stout pls pls pls pls!!!!!!
I saved a six pack of wood master from the last time you bottled it, and enjoyed it while boiling sap this year (yes, the beer was that old). It was still great, but I’m looking forward to being able to get it fresh again. Thanks for taking a risk with the pecans!
Nicie in cans only!? Not cool!!
Agree! I want it in bottles
Why has Publican Porter been in exile for so long?
Hey John,
The simple truth is that we can only brew so many beers each year. We’ve just announced that the next release in our Private Stache series will be Bourbon Publican Porter. It will be available in a very limited quantity at the pub and Short’s Mart beginning on Black Friday.
Super Fluid? 😣
Superfluid will not be released in 2017, but it will be released in our Super Hoppy Holidays variety pack this coming month!
Mule Beer People! C’mon! Mule Beer!
Mule Beer, Mule Beer!!
Cinnabilly or Gingersnap please! Pub brew, bottle, anything!
Smoked Apple Ale please.
Okay Short’s Supporters – do us all a favor and plug in some Mule Beer eh? Who loves ya? Huh? Who loves ya…..
Mule Beer is sooo good!
Will Rollin Down the Street ever be bottled and distributed?
We never say never!
What about Blanco Sauve?
No Blanco Suave in bottles next year, but look for it on tap at the pub!
Nice to see some transparency in a democratic process (for just this once)
Mule Beer, baby! How is Miss Ester, by the way? #GriffLove
