Not quite true. While there aren't many distributors above the Mason/Dixon line, there are a few.
I've hear two different beer men say you can get Shiner in NYC but they can't remember what store sells it. I'd like to know, esp. since I'm afraid to bring a few bottles home when I visit Texas - they are over the 3 oz maximum for liquids.
Retail perhaps, but they would have to be buying from one of these three distributors in Pennsylvania, which is the closest I could find to NYC:
Frank. B. Fuhrer Wholesale
Pittsburgh, PA 412-488-8844
Glenwood Beer Distributors
Erie, PA 814-838-7606
Inco Beverage, Inc.
Johnstown, PA 814-266-8651
Looks like they import four types of Shiner. You might try calling these three to see if they distribute into NYC or where the closest retailer might be to that location. Failing that, perhaps a road trip to PA is in the offing?
Anyone else can see where Shiner Bock, et al is distributed by going to their web site:
http://www.shiner.com/home.html
Click on about the brewery and go down to the bottom of the page for a link to a distribution map.
I enjoyed the Shiner on my last Texas adventure. FLyertalkers are also welcome to bring Shiner if they see me up this way.
If I ever make my way up there via my pick-up, I'll be sure to load the bed for you.
LOL.
