NB beers only lead to heartbreak (except Clutch..oh and Ranger).
Shift is a recently released "session" beer from New Belgium (in what appears to be a Red Bull can). That is all it is. A session beer. This might be great for a full day of drinking by the pool or on the beach, but the huge loss here is in the value. Eight bucks for a 4-pack of tallboys at 5%, with basically no flavor, just isn't going to cut it. Not only is Shift lower on the ABV side for a session, but it is just plain uninspired..flavor-wise, I'll take SNPA, 420, Dale's, Torpedo, Full Sail IPA, or any other standard $14-$16 12-pack that can regularly be found in the fridge. All things considered, it still destroys the mass marketed domestics, euro-lagers, and "mexican" beers. I know this "review" doesn't speak much tot he beer, itself, but I'll just wait for Ranger to be available in 12-pack cans. Sorry guys...

Off-topic rant:
Dear Drinking Made Easy,
I love your show, but the Aspen, CO ep sucked...the drunk (out of control) girls were weak...just plain weak. Keep drinking, but ditch the baggage. Also, that cameraman (Gio??) can freakin' chug some beers...props to him. Last but not least, if you ever need help with the beer parts of the show, please be in touch.
Your friend,
ohtheguilt
