We drink a lot of beer. Most beers, however, are destined to not grace the pages of this blog. Sometimes it is because the beer really sucks and sometimes because they are just uninteresting. Sometimes it is because I forgot my camera and sometimes because I am too drunk to form a train of thought about what I am drinking. This one I am going to do just out of spite.
"Why do you hate Shiner so much?", came the question out of the blue.
"Why do you think that I hate Shiner?".
"Because you have never said even one nice thing about any of their beers".
"I guess that I have never tried one that I like, but to be honest, I don't do a whole lot of Shiner research".
"Try this one then, it is amazing"!
Kosmos Spoetzl DID NOT found the Shiner Brewing Association in 1909, but he did buy it out in 1915 and promptly renamed it after himself. This "Premium" "dry-hopped" light lager was brewed as a special run to honor the "founder".Color? I don't really know, I drank it straight from the bottle.
Smell? None perceptible.
Taste? Maybe better than a Miller Light. Maybe. Dry hopped beers usually have the flavor of hops, but I'll be darned if I could taste any. All things considered it is a quite harmless beer.
So there, in answer to your challenge, I can say that I do not hate Shiner beers, I just haven't found any that I like.
