Like to see that Top Chef is using local brewery in the TX episodes. Go shiner.

Shiner is a great (relatively) little brewery in Texas. The best thing about Shiner is that it is available in just about every bar here in Texas. Unfortunately, they always consider it an import so it is more expensive than the crappy stuff, even though it is brewed just about 4 hours from where I live.

I really like the Bock, although as some have pointed out it is a Bock in name only. Blonde is a great refreshing, light session beer that is easy to throw back. The cheer is ok, but weird. Not a fan of the Black, or Light though.

It is nice that Top Chef is repping Shiner though.

Not always expensive. A couple years ago when they were making the Czech pilsner I could get it on tap for $2 a pint.

Back in my BMC days, Shiner Bock was my go to "fancy" beer. It's been several years since I've had it, but I should really pick up a six pack of that sometime to see how it tastes with my fairly newly refined palate.

shiner bock is really a low OG dunkel. it's also kinda gross. I drank nothing but shiner bock all through college at UT.

The bock generally isn't my first choice. But it's not bad. Right now I'm in the Texas panhandle visiting the inlaws and there's not much in the way of good beer, so Shiner isn't all that bad. I'm also enjoying the new Ryes and Shine that's in the mix pack.

If I remember right they had a celebration ale that was tasty. I may have remembered it wrong.

Celebration was quite good. But they put out a lot of crap too. If anyone here has has the Ruby Redbird. Well..... My condolences.

Hey now! I didn't think the Ruby Redbird was all that terrible. Definitely couldn't drink more than one in a sitting, but the 102 wheat (I think it was shiner) just about made me barf. I don't know if I got into a bad bottle or what, but it was one of the very few drain pours.

Shined does a pretty good hefeweizen. They also released a wheat called 102 that was very good. I also enjoy their dortmunder. I haven't bought shiner in a long time though since they use twist off bottles and I'm still working on my bottle stash
