Recipe Type: Mini-Mash
Shrimp Surprise doesn't have anything to do with actual shrimp, although I might brew up something like in the future that for people I don't really like.
Instead, it reminds a person that sometimes we get what we want before we actually know that we want it. When that happens, a pint of dark, rich beer can help erase apprehension and (ironically) help a person to see more clearly. Shrimp Surprise is dedicated to happy accidents the world over.
