I saw this in the local HEB last night and picked up a six-pack, but have not had a chance to sample it yet. A crime that I hope to solve this evening.
Amazingly, "success" in the form of volume and wide distribution, and the scary ingredient of ownership by Gambrinus, the guy(s) who made Corona (once a sort of generic Mexican beer, no lime, for lime went to steel-canned Tecate) a household name, has not seemed to harm the little Spoetzl brewwery in Shiner, Texas.
Not "craft beers", simply good honest products. I'm still a fan of Shiner Bock, find "Black" enjoyable, and look forward to "100 Commemerator"
