Shiner Beer

[HunterRoss]

If you can find this beer, buy it! It’s good and at 9% alcohol you’ll be a cheap date.

If I want fruit flavor I'll go buy some fruit.

You do realize that they have brewed beer with fruit for centuries. There are as many styles of beer as there are opinions. It's akin to saying "I like my cheese to taste like cheese". "Beer flavor" isn't even a real concept, especially given basically the "essence of beer" flavored beer of today.
Haven't drank in a decade, but the facts are the same.

I've been drinking a little Shiner myself lately. Good stuff, haven't seen this flavor yet but I'll give it a shot.

I forgot about the prickly pear. It’s good as well

I wish I could find this. Texas beer aged in a Texas whiskey barrel

I’ve got to get ahold of some of this. I really, really like bourbon barrel aged beers, ales and wines.

That is one fine beer!!

It’s new to the market & not on many shelves yet.
I searched high & low around DFW to find it...well worth it

Going to have to give this one a try. I don't drink often or much when I do, but was able to try the Balcones Texas Bock and liked it. This is the inverse of that marriage, so should be good.

I prefer beer flavored beer. Never have liked any of the off-the-wall kinda stuff. Wont even add salt/lime.

Total Wine
Call first & they can look at which stores have it in inventory

[sharpstick35]

if you dont like hefeweizenor are used to IPA's then you wont like this one

I haven’t had it since 2015, or 2016 but Shiner Haymaker was the best Shiner beer I’ve had. Been tough to find not living close to TX since I lived in NM in the time frame previously mentioned.

Shiner Black is pretty legit also!

Which “beer” flavor of beer do you prefer? Lager, Hefeweizen/witbier, bock, porter, stout, Kolsch, Pilsner, Dubbel, Triple, Saison, Helles or Barley Wine? Or maybe you prefer Ales? India Pale Ale, American Pale Ale, regular Ale, brown ale, cream ale, old ale, or maybe scotch ale?

Btw- most of those have been brewed with some form of fruit, fruit juice, or skin (or all of the above) for thousands of years

I wish they would bring back "Shiner Smokehouse" it was one of my favorites

Really? I bought a six pack when it was out and it was pretty much one of the most repulsive beers I’ve tried.

Agreed! Shiner bock and the Shiner blonde are solid drinking beers, And also agree with the above that the ruby Red is terrible

Picked up 2 six packs of the Balcones Shiner today.

The other brewers pride that’s wine barrel aged isn’t bad either.

What's wrong, the convenience store next to Whole Foods run out if Zima?

Good beer like good bourbon does not need flavoring to hide it’s terrible taste.

Or good beer like good bourbon comes in many different flavor profiles. Some just taste better than others

I personally don’t drink beer to get drunk. I drink it to enjoy and like trying different beers. You’d be amazed how the flavor of some beers changes depending on the temp at which it’s served.

I haven’t been able to find the Balcones yet but the wine barrel version is good.
