Shiner Bock Products

The Spoetzl Brewery is the oldest independent brewery in Texas. Since 1909, every drop of Shiner Beer has been brewed at the Spoetzl Brewery in Shiner, Texas (population 2, 069). Today, our little brewery sends more than 6 million cases of delicious Shiner beer to states across the country. We think our founder, Kosmos Spoetzl, would be very proud. Born in Bavaria, Kosmos Spoetzl's passion for beer carried him as far as Egypt before arriving in tiny Shiner, Texas. There, he purchased the town's brewery and became Shiner's first official brewmaster, a post that he held for nearly half a century. Today, we honor the man with every beer that comes out of the brewery bearing his name. Prosit! Tip back our flagship brand, Shiner Bock. Brewed with rich, roasted barley malt and German specialty hops, this lightly hopped American-style dark lager always goes down smooth and easy. First brewed in 1913 and originally a seasonal beer, fans have demanded it year-round since 1973. Growing to be the top-selling craft beer in Texas - it is truly the beer of Texas. Bock has a tan, dense head with a crystal-clear amber color and a sweet aroma with a subtle roasted maltiness on the nose. The taste is slightly sweet with notes of roasted nuts and caramel. Pair this smooth amber lager with pulled pork, brisket sandwiches, or chicken mole enchiladas.
