There was a dark spell in America when it was illegal to brew, bottle or enjoy an ice-cold Shiner Bock. For a solid 18 months. Shiner beer is brewed at the Spoetzl Brewery in a tiny Texas town named Shiner, which has a population of 2, residents.
The independent brewery was founded in to create old world-influenced beers to share with family and friends. Today, Shiner beer distributes over six million cases a year to 49 states across the country.
Shiner beer has stayed true to itself and over time has kept the same taste going. The style of this beer is a bit continuous because Bocks are strong German-style lagers. Since , Shiner has provided us with a rich roasted barley malt taste and German specialty hops. The bock style beer is said to be good served cold or at room temperature. It is a deep amber colour and is very clear.
But, this paled in comparison to the Era of Prohibition. Shiner continued to produce backdoor illegal beers. They covered this production by also producing alcohol free barley brews. This cover kept the company above water until prohibition ended, and they were able to open full scale again. However business changed during WWII as well. Americans who drank imported German beers changed the game again by refusing to pay for German beers during world War II.
These customers then became loyal to German style beers brewed on American soil. Advocate, V. Spoetzl Brewery Timeline Lavaca Victoriaadvocate. McGarrah, J. Shiner Beers. The Story of Shiner.
