Shiner Cheer

We're officially into the holiday season and i know this for a multitude of reasons.  Namely, Santa Claus is in a boatload of commercials and Shiner Cheer is now available at the grocery store.  We are known to drink the occasional "dessert beers" around here, and they're usually heavy, syrupy concoctions that taste delicious, but can lay you out for the rest of the evening.  Shiner Cheer is much lighter (5.4% ABV), a Dunkelweizen that's brewed with pecans and peaches.  The peach flavor is very noticeable, almost shockingly so at first, but eventually is backed by hints of pecan and caramel, and some decent hops to give it some bite and depth.  If you're not a peach fan, this brew is not for you, but if you like to shake things up a little with your beer choices, this one won't steer you wrong.  Have one in the kitchen with your family, or watching college football.  Cheers.

Visit the brewer.
