This very limited release is available now in 4-packs of 12oz cans and on draft.

The Short Days Double Hazy IPA is sunshine in a can. Made using Centennial Simcoe, Mosaic, and Cascade hops this expressive hazy IPA has aromas of fruit, melon, and flowers. This easy drinking beer is hop focused, medium bodied highlighting the flavors of orange, cantaloupe, and honeysuckle with a smooth finish. 8.2% ABV. This limited release hazy IPA will be available late January through March in 6-packs of 12oz cans and on draft.

On Tuesday, January 24 Pike Taproom in Ballard is hosting a casual Short Days Double Hazy IPA release event from 3pm to close.  Come check out the new Pike Taproom (5205 Ballard Ave NW), play some darts, chat with head brewer Leslie Shore, and enjoy pints of Short Days for $5.  Plus, the happy hour menu will be offered all night long.
