Press release: Shorts in Florida, it makes sense, right? We thought so too, so we’re keeping our shorts out year round because Short’s Brewing Company beers and Starcut Ciders are heading to the sunshine state! Starting in January 2019, we’re partnering with Cavalier Distributing in the greater Orlando area and J.J. Taylor Distributing Florida, Inc. in the greater Tampa area to bring Short’s brews to Florida. Short’s will distribute their flagship beers, Huma Lupa Licious, Local’s Light, and Soft Parade, along with Pulsar, Octorock, and Mosa from Starcut Ciders beginning in mid-January. Short’s new flagship, Juicy Brut, will also launch in Florida in February, followed by the highly popular seasonal, Soft Parade Shandy, in March.
Get ready Floridians and snowbirds, because we’re flying south for two weeks of Short’s Launch Events fun!

About Short’s Brewing Company
Short’s Brewing Company began when a 22-year-old brewer named Joe Short registered Short’s Brewing Company as a business in the state of Michigan. Having already gained significant brewing experience at other Michigan breweries, Joe realized that his style of brewing was best suited to his own business model where he would not have to answer to anyone for putting lots (and lots) of the best possible ingredients into his brews, or for brewing specialty beers that some might consider outrageous. Joe wanted to brew bold, flavorful and extremely creative beer, and felt that people would travel out of the way to get them. Today, Short’s Brewing Company continues its efforts to make the best beer on earth in Northern Michigan. Although we have quickly grown to be one of Michigan’s largest breweries, we still take pride in our hands-on, mom-and-pop approach and the energy we put into the quality of our beer, food, staff, customers, and facilities. We still brew our beer the same way we always have and we always will.
