Their Shiner Bock is a legend. They make a lot of other very interesting things too ("Ruby Redbird" grapefruit beer, other odd stuff), and seasonal brews like "Holiday Cheer" (spiced beer for Christmastime), etc. All delicious.
So if they're making a "Candied Pecan Porter", it's probably great.
That reminds me, I need to get another case of Shiner Bock and start making it disappear.
Semi-unrelated: if you want a beer equivalent of the cigar aging experience, try aging stouts (for several years minimum). Some remarkable parallels in how they change. Powerful and spicy but simpler flavors when young, smooth and complex flavors after years of age, rather like cigars. Fun to age cigars and beer at the same time!

I like beer to taste like beer first then any additional flavors to enhance a beer should kick in.IMHO this is what Shiner does better than anybody else.Their beer regardless of flavors added taste like beer first unlike some I've wondered if there was any beer even in the bottle.That being said I can think of two previous offerings from Shiner that had added pecan......and they were fantastic.Can't recall the exact name but the beer they did with peaches and pecans made the best black & tan's I have ever had...………..so yea I'ma try me some Candied Pecan Porter
If you haven't had Shiner Bock on tap...…...try it first opportunity you get.If you like beer,not that foofoo flavored crap,you're gonna like this.
