We all think Shiner Bock changed sometime during the late 90s. It is watered- down, carbonated, and somewhat bland compared to what we remembered from the early 90s.<br /><br />Shiner 100 is actually closer in taste to the original Shiner Bock. <br /><br />Its just unfortunate that Shiner had to introduce an anniversary beer just to get back to their original flavor profile.Ragged Tigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01170234225552854893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24364002.post-90624548713136656162009-06-19T09:14:56.007-07:002009-06-19T09:14:56.007-07:00I agree with Jez.

Then, after discovering it at the Safeway down the street from my house I was really turned off having it solo. I think it's one of those beers best enjoyed with a greasy meal. At least that has been my experience.Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13179469534634642537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24364002.post-4980250508775441742009-06-19T07:58:33.945-07:002009-06-19T07:58:33.945-07:00I think it's gone back and forth.

Inexperience made me think it was good, then a couple of years ago, I wasn't impressed, then I had it again and thought it was okay.<br /><br />Overall, I think you're being kind with a 5/10, but if you want a good Shiner beer, I recommend the Shiner Black. Great Black Lager.Jezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02130897549926261047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24364002.post-90536446396970497642009-06-19T04:48:09.469-07:002009-06-19T04:48:09.469-07:00I'll disagree with Fowl.

Shiner has some other more interesting beers, but as you stated if its the Bock and BMC, I don't have a problem picking up the Bock.Barleyvinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02621247772269283238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24364002.post-2530209670184039952009-06-18T12:36:36.252-07:002009-06-18T12:36:36.252-07:00something really changed for the worse at shiner a...something really changed for the worse at shiner around 99 or so, i had to quit drinking it entirely.Fowl Birdwatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07203224852960639647noreply@blogger.com
