The Shiner Thread
 

Which one makes the better tasting beers, Shiner or Holsten?

Honestly haven't tried Holsten. Is this a Canadian brew? What type of beer? Lager? Bock? Ale?

edit: Nevermind, I Googled it and found it's a German lager. Looks much too light for my tastes.

They make several different kinds of beer. The Festbock is far from light, and it comes with a 7% punch. Can you handle it? :-)

Oh yeah...now you're talking. That's a bit like the Celis Grand Cru, a Belgian white beer at 6%.

Hehe---. I'm going to see if Shiner's sold locally to try a bottle (or a can). In the meantime, I'm sucking on a tall can of Holsten Premium. It's an in-between type of beer and with only a 5% punch. Goes down smooth. :-)

No Shiners in Vancouver...so I'm drinking a Holsten - a strong Teutonic brew.

I found a new one: FAXE Strong - from Denmark. Wow!

shiner blonde is better, hang on,,,, yes,, yes in my side by side. properly chilled, test. I think.... Oh wait. maybe I need to open up another one of these.... anyway what was the question?

Shiner Hefeweizen ain't bad either :-P

Shiner Bock. No doubt. Got a problem with that? Step outside... I gotta go to the john first though...

Blondes may be better for some things, but NOT MY BEER. (grin)

It's amber bock for me all the way!

Kokanee in Canada and Natural light in the USA

Kokanee - smells like perfume. Pacific Pilsner is a way better.

Have any of you guys had something called " genny cream ale"

Sure, it's brewed in Rochester and I had it from time to time when I lived in upstate NY. Never was much of a favorite of mine though.

But you Canadians have lots of great beers and ales! Mooseheads, Molson Golden, Molson Canadian and Labatt's Blue are big favorites of mine :-)
