This will not be extensive as I'm crazy busy tonight, but I thought I'd share non-the-less. I thought I would try Beck's Dark vs Shiner Bohemian Black Lager. Hands down the Shiner won the contest. I would not have guessed the local Shiner, TX brewery would outperform the German giant Becks, but that's probably because they are different beers. Shiner Black Lager is a Schwarzbier and the Beck's is a Munich Dunkel Lager. Next time I'll try the beers in their categories. I admit that I was just shooting for a dark vs dark and am glad I found the Shiner as I was very impressed. Without a formal review I would rate it an 8.
Here is a link to different Dunkels, sounds funny making that word plural.

I used to love Becks Dark. Years ago it was sort of my gateway to Guinness. I've never had anything from Spoetzl Brewery... I wonder if they're available in Indiana.
ReplyDeleteI admit that I am not a big fan of the other Shiner beers I've tried so far so their Bohemian Black Lager was a major surprise!
