Breweries like Short’s Brewing Company are the reason why I feel that the US has the best overall beer in the world. While there are countless breweries world wide that make excellent beer, there seems to be a strong interest in this country on eschewing the standard beer styles and experimenting with the different ways that a fermented beverage can be made to taste good.
This beer here, Short’s Black Licorice Lager is a perfect example of this. While this would likely fall into the catchall Specialty Beer style, it cannot be discounted as just another odd beer. While the description of how it is a dark lager aged on anise seed, vanilla beans, and chocolate mint lime leaves may be a bit off putting at first, it makes for an extremely good, pleasant beer.
