"The Sweet Beer From Shiner, Texas
Shiner Bock has become the flagship of the Spoetzl Brewery in Shiner, Texas. They produce many other fine beers, but Shiner Bock is the best-known of the lot. The brewery is also not shy about claiming to be the 'oldest independent brewery in Texas.'

The brewery was founded as the Shiner Brewing Association in 1909 by German and Czech immigrants with a desire for beer from the old country. Shiner Bock was introduced in 1913 and in 1915 German brewmaster Kosmos Spoetzl bought the brewery, giving it his last name.

Over the years, Shiner Bock has developed a loyal fan base. The story goes that, in true maibock fashion, this lager was originally only brewed to be served during Lent. It was a seasonal beer for many years and came out every spring to the delight of locals.

In 1991, Shiner Bock went national and its following increased. It is now available throughout the U.S. and year-round. The beer has also received numerous awards, including golds at the 2012 Great American Beer Festival and European Beer Star".

Huh, good to know. Found a case of that when I bought a house in Maine. Never thought about actually drinking it, but OK.
