What do you think about Shiner?

Shiner is good, but Yuengling is better.

Being a Minnesotan both are rare. But I was in Washington DC two weeks ago and had Yuengling and Monday night in Houston and had Shiner Bock. I would have to say both were OK, not memorable, but if I had to give the nod I would go with the Shiner Bock.

I like Shiner Bock a lot, and it's my "standard" when in Texas. I'm always happy to see it, and particularly pleased when it's on tap.

It's also my fallback, if the establishment doesn't have my favorites. Which are Dox XX, and the German Octoberfest beers.

I don't understand why rappers have to hunch over while they stomp around the stage hollering.  It hurts my back to watch them. On the other hand, I've been thinking that perhaps I should start a rap group here at the Old Folks' Home.  Most of us already walk like that.

Shiner's (Bock) pretty popular in Wichita, you can get it on tap some places, and a 12 pack goes for $10-$11. You can also get the Shiner Blonde Ale consistently, and it's good for summer drinking.

We can also get the Leinenkugel line-up down here, but we can't get the Yuengling, which my Dad used to carry-on a case of it when he flew back from business trips back East. Seems like even the most ordinary beers become special if you can't get your hands on them.

funny enough, after going to Fallingwater near Pittsburgh, I stopped in to a beer distributor in the small town of Donegal, PA to get a case of Yeungling to bring back to Dallas.

As I was walking around the place, I was dang near shocked that this guy had cases of Shiner for sale.

fwiw.

I picked up a six-pack of their Kolsch and found it to be really good. Light in style, but still good taste, crisp, and no taste of adjuncts. Nice beer for drinking in high heat.
