The Short Table

avatar

This cleverly named beer is a collaboration between Shorts Brewing and The Drafting Table. Hence the clever name, the Short table. These two breweries are great in their own so I was excited to see what magical concoction they brewed together.

The Short Table is a Brut IPA. This type of IPA is definitely an acquired taste. They are bone-dry champagne like IPAs.

This beer is definitely that. It’s a perfect example of the style is look, smell, taste and mouthfeel. These beers are clear with nice defined foamy head. There’s a ton of bubbles that steam out of the beer as it’s poured.

The aroma is sharp with a super clean pine, citrus and subtle sweetness. I’m a fan of that defined hop bitterness and pine resin that hops gives off. It’s a beautiful thing to pack this much hops aroma into a beer.

The taste definitely lets you know it’s a Brut. There’s flora hops, mouth Pickering citrus and a cottonmouth inducing dryness that permeates the flavor profile. This is not a beer for everyone. I’d say you have to be a true hop head or a fan of bitter flavors because it’s pretty relentless. I can hang, but even I was struggling to finish the entire Crowler.

The mouthfeel is light, bubble and champagne like. There’s a lot of carbonation that plays into this champagne profile.

My overall impression of the collaboration is pretty positive. The beer is good, but the style is pretty tough to like. I enjoyed it for what it was and can appreciate the work that went into brewing this. However, I’m not going to recommend this for most causal beer drinkers.

Man, I love Short's. I am sad that my annual conference is no longer going to be at Shanty Creek. I am going to miss going there. I will have to take the wife back sometime. I have never been to Crunchy's, but I have heard many stories from my brother in law.

Both place are institutions in Michigan. I’m fortunate to be pretty close to shorts on a regular basis so I get to enjoy their delicious beer. Crunchys is one of the best spots in mid-Michigan. I’d drive an hour for the tots and beer.
