Shiner Beers Announces Summer Lineup

Summer has arrived and so has the Shiner summer beer lineup from the Spoetzl Brewery.

These beers are specifically brewed for warm weather, and are handcrafted in the Shiner brewery in Shiner, Texas.

The Spoetzl Brewery was founded in Shiner, Texas (population 2,069), in 1909, brewing beer with old-world traditions and recipes for the many German and Czech settlers in Central Texas. Since then the brewery has grown to be one of the largest independent craft brewers in the country, available in 49 states and Mexico. Every drop of award-winning beer is still brewed right where it all started 108 years ago.

Highlighting four distinct beers this summer, each and all of them are perfect for a day at the lake, after a ball game, family reunions or anything else you do when the temperature starts to rise.

Shiner Light Blonde

This is the light beer you expect from a craft brewer like Spoetzl. A 99-calorie lager for thirst-quenching refreshment. Brewed with plump Two-row barley malt and choice Golding aroma hops. Eminently sessionable. Goes well with good friends and broken lawn mowers. Great while working the backyard grill or lounging by the pool.

Available in 12 oz. cans and bottles and on tap.

• ABV: 4.2%
• SRM: 2
• IBU: 9

Shiner Ruby Redbird

Brewed with genuine Ruby Red grapefruit, the signature sweet citrus of the Rio Grande Valley and the official State Fruit of Texas. A touch of all-natural ginger is added to provide some zing to the grapefruit tartness. Made with Munich malt for a deeper gold color and fuller body, and Mt. Hood and Citra hops for balance. This crisp and refreshing beer is perfect for summer, but proved so popular that it is now made year round.

Available in 12 oz. cans and bottles, 24 oz. bombers and on tap.

• ABV: 4.01%
• SRM: 8
• IBU: 10

Shiner Strawberry Blonde

Not a new beer – it was Brewer’s Pride #7 – but newly anointed as a summer seasonal. This Kolsch-style lager uses a blend of Two-row, wheat and Munich malts. What really makes this refreshing brew unique is the infusion of ripe strawberries from Poteet, the Strawberry Capital of Texas. Gently hopped to highlight the pleasing strawberry essence and aroma.

Available in 12 oz. cans and bottles, 24 oz. bombers and on tap.

• ABV: 4.3%
• SRM: 4
• IBU: 11

Shiner Hill Country Peach Wheat Ale

The new kid on the block. Introducing #11 in the Brewers Pride series, a limited-run, small-batch beers, handcrafted under the direction of Brewmaster Jimmy Mauric. A wheat ale brewed with nearby Texas Hill Country peaches. Adding a blend of Two-row and wheat malt makes it slightly sweet and extra-refreshing. Signature ale yeast is used for its esters and fruitiness. Hill Country Peach Wheat is coarsely filtered to remove yeast but retain the hazy veil and golden color wheat beers are known for. It is lightly hopped with Mt. Hood so as not to diminish the peach presence.

Available in 12 oz. bottles in our Family Reunion packaging. Also in 24 oz. bombers and on tap.

• ABV: 4.51%
• SRM: 5
• IBU: 15
