Beer drinkers from Texas beware...

007MI6 · 05-26-2011, 10:24 PM

This will make your head hurt. Me and the wifey were at Applebee's eating dinner, when I overheard this between two male patrons in their late forties:
Patron 1: What are you drinking?
Patron 2: Zeigenbock.
Patron 1: Oh! Texas' version of Shiner Bock.

Made my head hurt trying to figure out the train of thought here.

For those who don't know, not only is Shiner Bock made in SHINER, TEXAS, but Shiner is less than two hours away from here.

Applebee's

Old folks... Eh what can you do

jordan3720 · 05-26-2011, 10:37 PM

I don't know what's sadder, that two 40+ year old Texans didn't know this, or that I'd know that since I was 16...

Great story bro

Boost_lee · 05-27-2011, 12:23 AM

lol sad

Although, I do prefer a glass of Zigen over regular Shiner

i downed a 6 pack of shiner in the two days i was in austin. i'll never be able to get it that cheap out there lol

i was told Zeigenbock is made by Shiner and bottled for AB or Miller or whoever.

Dark Sarcasm · 05-27-2011, 09:59 AM

and Shiner by the case is like $21 at Sams Club.

bluelion · 05-27-2011, 10:13 AM

i prefer St Arnolds.

I don't think ZB is made by Shiner. I'm a long time Shiner fan, but I have to be perfectly honest: ignoring brand loyalty, when I taste the two side by side, ZB tastes like a better version of Shiner

. I still buy Shiner often just to support them or whatever, but it bugs me that I like the ZB better.

Zeigenbock is made by Anheuser Busch in their Houston,TX brewery.

It's always driven me crazy that they charge "import" prices on Shiner, when it is made just hours away.

I've actually never had Ziegenbock, but I am a loyal Shiner drinker. Their seasonal and specialty beers are the best!
