Short’s Holiday Battle Plan Variety Pack

Bottoms Up
By Craig Manning | Dec. 7, 2024

We adore this holiday variety pack from Short’s Brewing Company for three reasons: A) the beer is terrific. Whether you’re looking for simple styles (“Thirsty for More,” a refreshing New Zealand-style lager, or “Oh-Kay,” one of the best Short’s IPAs in years) or more adventurous picks (“Junk and Rubbish,” a double chocolate stout brewed with cocoa and marshmallow, or “Silver Tuna,” a festive cranberry orange sour), this box has something for you. 2) The design is genius. Everything from the box to the individual cans pays tribute to the 1990 classic Home Alone, but does so in that familiar Short’s art style that we love so much. And D), It’s the perfect pairing for just about any holiday meal, be it Little Nero’s cheese pizza or a highly nutritious microwavable macaroni and cheese dinner. Trust us: Even your cranky Uncle Frank will love this thing. shortsbrewing.com
