What is it about Shiner Bock? I was at NCAA Swimming in Austin last month and had a pint with a great BBQ dinner, and my friends there said I should take home a case. Is it the recognized state beer of Texas? Should we make it the official beer of Flyer Talk? Is it sold anywhere but Texas? Do you have to be Texan to really appreciate it? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Having about three hours to kill, I found my way to the curb, where I was met by a fellow FTer (name deleted to protect the guilty) with a sixer of Shiner Bock. Cold. In the car. We promptly killed the Shiner, and proceeded to lunch (where a couple more pints of Shiner and some flaming tobacco products--and some food, too http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif were consumed ). Upon returning to DFW (circling the terminal to ensure timely disposal of the last of the Shiner), I was ready to run the gaunlet into security.</font>
I think that is what you call Texas Hospitality... I mean, doesn't everyone sit around drinking Shiner on Sundays?

What else would you expect from a Texan American Princess?!

Yes, Shiner has somehow become the state beer here. I have suggested in one of Catman's past thread (with some support from FTers NOT from Texas, that yes, it should be the official FT beer. I do believe you can get it outside of Texas (probably at places that "import") and no, you don't have to be from Texas, although the best way to drink one is to come to DFW and drink one with ME. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

One note on Shiner being an import...

Now contrary to every Texans belief that Texas is an independent country, according to my last US History class in college, Texas is still part of the USA.

I digress. I became a fan of Shiner while living in Texas for three years, so one night I was home in New Orleans and I ordered a Shiner at a local bar. Big sign over the bar says Domestic - $2.50 and Imports - $3.00. I gave the guy a $5 and all I get back is $2. I asked about my change he says that Shiner is import. I suppose he was taken with the idea that Texas really is an independent nation and they did have to "import" that beer.

No doubt. I'm taking my mom and sister from New York City (like those Pace Salsa commercials) to their first trip to 'Down Under' or Dallas, TX next week. I've personally been to Dallas, Houston, and other cities about a dozen times, but it's always an experience.
