Shiner comes to Akron
I have never felt the distance between myself and my friends so acutely as now. I have no one to drink a Shiner with (as my wife is not a beer person). That's right, a Shiner Bock in Ohio. During college the farthest north that Shiner was distributed was Tennessee. $6.50 for six. I have no Texan friends here to appreciate this moment, and no Lutheran friends with whom to tip a few. Lament!

i would love to share a shiner with you... i've become a beer drinker since moving to canada :)
I'll have one here in Missouri, in your honor, Mike. I began drinking Shiner (now Shiner Blonde) in the late 1970s and later discovered the joy of Bock. When I left TX for MO, I was ever so pleased to find that Shiner beers and Blue Bell ice cream were both available in the area.

I just found a place here in Kenosha, Wisconsin that actually has Shiner on draft. Be still my beating heart!

What is Shiner comparable to in taste? Heineken dark or Sam Adams or?
Heaven. No seriously, it's a bock so it tastes nothing like Heineken. It's amber colored and and smooth (to me). I'll let someone with a better beer vocabulary expound.
