I had my first Shiner Bock beer. After reading about it on these forums, I thought I would give it a try.

Wow! Very smooth and refreshing.

This beer will be in my regular rotation.

Thank you to all who recommended Shiner Bock.

I love Shiner.

Try Shiner Black,,,,

wheel,

Best beer made outside Germany.

^^^

Shiner Tx is a town settled by Germans .Lots of great beer and Sauasage in the Hill Country of Tx...

wheel,,

^a lot of sausage parties in Texas?

Bevmo has it. I'll have to give it a shot.

I honestly don't care for any of the Shiner products. They are all too light in body for me, and I detect rice on the palet.

I like shiner but its just ok to me. Pretty typical for a regional brewery.

^ Agreed Shiner Bock is light, but it is a great summer brew and it's not mass produced by the big two.

I really love micro brews and boutique cigars.

We have a beer up here made by Atwater brewery called Voodo Vater. It's black and has 9.5% alcohol. I love it too, but it's $17.00 a 4 pack and I'm drunk after 2 beers. LOL

Also had my first one yesterday - very smooth and light. Definitely glad I tried it.

in KC we are spoiled by Boulevard. Much better than Shiner IMHO

Shiner Black and Comemmorator 100(6.7% alcohol.....potent and tasty) are the best Shiners available IMHO.Their Hefeweizen is the finest unfiltered wheat brew this side of Munich.The Blonde is an excellent lager.The Bock is what I cut my teeth on way back there......it's always a go to brew.I haven't tried the Smokehouse but I probably will for $hits and giggles.

My favorite is the wheat. it is unlike any other wheat I have tried in that it does not have that bannana\clove ester taste from the yeast.

but IO like them all. They do not show them but they also make a belgian series.

T dub,

I will look for Boulevard at a place that must carry at least 300-400 different kinds of beer. If they don't have it I will ask them if they can order it.

I would love to try it.

I love the wheat. My buddy loved the pale ale. All are good. They only have a midwest distribution system.

From their site:

Although I can’t get Boulevard in my city, will you ship it to me?

Due to legal constraints, we cannot sell or ship beer directly to you. We've heard that www.internetwines.com and www.johnsgrocery.com sell and ship our beer so you might want to check those sites.

I tried the Boulevard wheat a couple months back up in NE Oklahoma..........yea it may've been 3.2% not sure.Any way I thought it was ok but the Shiner Hefeweizen is much better.

That being said there are 2 Boulevards I want to try.....the Stout and the Porter.Just haven't run across them yet......but I will.

Ron

I'm not a huge fan of the stout or porter. Both are ok not great.

Their Boulevard Brewery Smokestack Series, Double-Wide IPA, Long Strange Tripel, Saison, and Sixth Glass are all pretty good if you want a higher alcohol experience.

Dunno about your experience with the wheat other than where I drink it is high volume in the city its brewed and served ice cold. I will take it over shiner any day.... although it is a different style.

I'm not a fan of the IPA's......but Stouts on the other hand......nuttin like a good stout.Porters are hit and miss with me.I've had some great ones and others have failed IMO miserably.

Ron

I like the left hand milk stout. I love stouts but do not hold Bouelevard among the best.

that said you like Miriacle whip better than Mayo so what do you know anyway lol
