IMHO, Shiner Black is the only beer they make that's worth drinking. It's a fantastic Schwarzbier. I despise nearly everything else they make. Shiner Bock tastes like malty pennies (every time, not just a bad bottle). I'd rather order a Dos Equis or even (gasp) a BMC product over Shiner Bock.

Shiner Black and the Czech Pilsner from a few years ago (I think it was the 101) are my favorites. Shiner Bock is a good beer for tailgating/BBQ since you can get it in cans, and it beats BMC if you're stuck at a place without a good beer selection

They used to make a good kolsch. I guess they dumped it to make way for Shiner Blond.

I just bought a sixer of their Wild Hare the other day and I like it a lot. Nice hop flavor with a good malt backbone.

I'll second the Wild Hare. Its good hop flavor, rather than overpowering.

I was glad to see a Shiner variety pack in my local corner store. Rarely see TX beers in the NW. Hopefully that changes in the near future.

Shiner made it to Seattle? Nice, they're expanding big time...now if only we could get some more Pacific NW beers in Texas

Only if the laws get repealed. I wish we can get some more brews around the country soon. All the beers yall talk about i cant get my hands on them down here but there are a lot of local brews i'm loving and waiting to get my hands on them. i dont know why TABC has to be such a-holes about it. Its crazy that texas is that strange and strict about alcohol whole other states are more relaxed. One day it will change and breweries can have brew pubs like others do. Anywho, i enjoyed the wild hare pale. Its different from what they usually do. I liked it

BMC's pockets run deep, and the state capital doesn't mind taking a few bucks from them. They had a bill on the table to allow the sale of craft beer on premise and for brew pubs to begin distributing products off site, but it was shut down by the big boys.

Much love for the 'Bock' up here in NY! We import when family runs down to the southern states.
