I have a case of their bock in the fridge for today's barbecue.

Looking forward to farky'ing more farkers into my "Shiner fan yellow." I know I'm missing a few.

I loves me some Shiner. Got a case in the fridge next to the steaks.

Er... almost a case. I'm on my second one.

Color me Shiner yellow. There are going to be two kinds of beer at the BBQ this afternoon: Shiner (Bock, Blonde, Smokehaus), and a batch of homebrew that I just bottled two weeks ago ;)

Color me Yellow as well pal. I am about to crack open another.

My skin is colored Shiner yellow. I pretty much lived on a 12-pack of Shiner Bock a night in college.

Now, the occasional Smokehaus or Blonde six-pack makes it's way into my fridge, then quickly into me.

Happy Birthday, Spoetzl Brewery. It's about time I go back for the tour again.

I have a 6-pack of both Shiner Bock and their current Commemorator. Having gone to college in San Marcos, it was really the stuff that got me through 4+ years there.

Shiner was better before Gambrinus bought it and started brewing it with corn.

Real Ale and Live Oak FTW.

I'll take St. Arnold's instead. Cool?

Damn, thanks for reminding me, need to get a six pack for the brats I'm grilling up later.

RagingLeonard: Shiner was better before Gambrinus bought it and started brewing it with corn.

That was why I eventually stopped drinking the Bock. Turned my stomach sour.

Real Ale and Live Oak FTW.

And 512.

I miss Celis White and Pecan Street.

since the first sentence of tfa made me curious...



damn, it really is in the middle of nowhere

I will crack open a cold Shiner Bock to celebrate..

You suck submitter, I read the first two words and thought it was going to be a death thread for Waters or Gilmour.

Had some Shiner Bock on a trip to visit my dad. Tasty stuff.

Their hefeweizen makes a kick ass summer brew.

I'll have a Shiner Black and another'n back thank you!

Happy Birthday and Prositz! Y'all.

see Texas isn't all bad....

I have no idea, but cheers to all of you!

I was going to say "y'all" but since I'm addressing Texans, I wasn't sure if I was allowed.

furiousxgeorge: Get off the lawn.

That is good too.... too bad we can't get it here.

Go about 300 miles to the west and you are in the middle of nowhere. There are probably 5 or 6 million people within a couple of hours drive of Shiner.

shiner bock is some tasty brew. furiousxgeorge beat me to the yuengling post. that is also some tasty beverage. i feel bad for everyone not in the vicinity of the pottsville brewery, premium yuengs are probably my favorite right now. finally got some on tap last week, it was amazing.

Ugh, beer from Texas.

Nothing good comes from that redneck hellhole.

/fark Texas.

Before I read the last part of the headline, I thought the Celebrity Death March (TM?) had stopped at the residence of a Pink Floyd member.

/whew.

I submitted this with a worse headline.

mmmm...need to go get some...

Love me the Shiner...

No no no no no no no no. Don't even say that. Don't even think it.

I am going to get drunk and give my wife a shiner. Does that count?

HaywoodJablonski: I'll take St. Arnold's instead. Cool?

A fellow follower of Saint Arnold huh? Do you know when they are moving to the new brewery?

You guys are obviously Yankee poseurs. Lone Star is the beer of Texas.

Just enjoyed a Commemorator a little while ago.


///fark ironic misspellings, lostprophyt

Hefeweizen, not Bock. In this heat, three "sips" and another one's gone.

Coco LaFemme: sforce: You suck submitter, I read the first two words and thought it was going to be a death thread for Waters or Gilmour.



No no no no no no no no. Don't even say that. Don't even think it.

I don't wish it upon anyone but if I had to choose I'd rather Water's stick around longer than Gilmour. You know, the talent that wrote everything. You can always find another good guitarist - You can't replace the creative side though.

/threadjack probably not over

SoxSweepAgain: Ugh, beer from Texas.

....says the lonely sober fatass.

A damn fine brew from a small Texas town. I love me some bock, got a keg of it tapped at the house right now in my kegerator.

I always have a blonde or two after I finish cutting the yard...it's like my own little victory celebration.

The heff is good, but not my favorite heff. The black is badass, as is the (99)helles lagger. The 100 has also found its way into my heart, my beer fridge, and my stomach.

I'm still waiting to try the smokehaus. The little lady picked me up a couple of 6ers of that this morning for the pool lounging and grilling we are going to be doing after we both get out of work.

Happy birthday spoetzl brewery! I'll be returning for the tour again later this summer.

Megain: damn, it really is in the middle of nowhere

Not really. It's pretty close to Buc-ee's.

Have any of you tried the Shiner Kosmos? As much as I adore the Bock, the Kosmos is a damn fine beer.

SoxSweepAgain: Ugh, beer from Texas.

You're from Colorado- the home of Coors Light- and you're dissing Shiner? Fark the fark off, and tell Adolph Coors to brew something that doesn't taste like Satan's venereal urine.

A-B specifically makes ZEIGLERBOCK (which is the same as their Michelob Amber Bock) specifically for Texas, to try out-compete Shiner

One shiner yellow tag here as well. Sitting at my office with a few cold ones right now.

Gonz: Not really. It's pretty close to Buc-ee's.

Nice. I stop at that Buc-ee's everytime i am in the area.

The smokehaus was dissapointing, it tasted like someone crushed bbq potato chips into my beer. while the combination sounds good it really isnt.

yeah, i was speaking in relative terms about being (very) roughly the same distance from the 3 major cities on the map. then again, that probably has some hellacious advantages

I used to drink it all the time because it was decent and cheaper than most any other beer around. The quality is still pretty good but they've raised the price so much that it is usually pricier than better imported beers like Grolsch, Pilsner Urquell, Becks... Why pay import prices for something brewed nearby that's not as good? I have no idea but people still buy it. In fact it's more popular than ever. But I only drink it anymore when I'm out someplace and the alternatives are Coors, Miller, Budweiser, and that sort of urine water.

God I miss the old days living in Gonzales, Texas. Weekends were either trips to Shiner, Port A, Villa Acuna or Canyon Lake.

And a personal question for Baka-San: You really bbq your kids? I keed.

Add me. My favorite beer of theirs is the Hefeweizen. The best brew for summertime and pizza time.

Happy 100th, Shiner!

/Prosit!

My friend used to drive down to Texas once a year (from NY). I had him pick up a few cases of Shiner for me. He typically loaded up his pickup after the people up here started getting a taste for it.

I tried the Kosmos last night for the first time ever with some home made tacos al pastor, and GODDAMN was it delicious.

Congratulations.
