Now, here's today's news:- Looks like Shiner is entering the light beer segment (at least for the summer). I had the Shiner bock last year when I was out west. It was pretty good. Despite it being the "4th largest craft brewer", I don't remember seeing it 'round these parts.
- Looks like the evil AB (or at least the distributor in AL) is trying to prevent craft beers from being sold in Alabama.
- Looks like another brewery is jumping on the canning bandwagon.
- Looks like Upland won a medal and Three Floyds won two, at the World Beer Championships. I haven't had any of the award winners, but I'm going to try to track them down. This link will get you to the complete award winners list.
- Looks like the relaunched Schlitz's isn't selling as well as hoped. Is it overpriced at $9.99 for a 12 pack or $5.99 per six? Doesn't sound like it to me, but that's what the critics are saying.

Nearest place Shiner beer is available is at Jungle Jim's in Cincy. They usually have the Bock and the Blonde and from time to time any specialty brews they've had. Shiner Bock remains one of my favorite beers of all time.
Thanks for the tip braingirl! I think I'm headed that way weekend after next, so I'll plan on picking some up. BTW, I love your blog - it's great! We checked out the Meridian for brunch today and really enjoyed it. We got there at 10:45 and it was surprisingly slow (although our waitress told us it picked up around 11:30 or noon - after church).
Shiner is also now available in the Chicago area.
