Abita Strawgator has a honey hue, small off-white head and an aroma that resembles Fruity Pebbles. The beer has a soft fruity flavors with strawberry notes and a sweet jammy finish. It’s a refreshing beer, and the strawberry lager blends nicely with Andygator.

Samuel Adams Winter Lager has a light amber hue with a small beige head. The beer has aromas that are malty as well as slightly nutty with creamy malt flavors that ends with a bit of hops. This results in a citrus and light ginger finish.

Rogue Dead Guy Ale has a dark red complexion with a small head that dissipates quickly. The beer has a malty aroma and smooth with flavors of sweet malt and a little bitterness at the end. The beer is nicely balanced between the malt and the hops.

Glass to Use:
Bock beers are best served in a tulip glass.

About the Brewery
The Spoetzl Brewery was founded in 1909 in Shiner, Texas. The original name of the brewery was the Shiner Brewing Association and it was headed by Herman Weiss who was the company’s first brewmaster. As the brewery gained in popularity they searched for a trained professional brewmaster which they found in Kosmos Spoetzl. Kosmos co-leased the brewery in 1914, and bought the brewery outright in 1915, changing the name to Spoetzl. Three years later prohibition would hit, but it didn’t shutter Spoetzl’s doors. They withstood this difficult time by selling ice and making ‘near beer’ (which is basically non-alcoholic beer.) After prohibition, the brewery resumed operations but kept business small. They never produced over 60,000 barrels in a year until the Gambrinus Company purchased the brewery in 1989. By 1994 production had grown to 100,000 barrels and it would triple over the next ten years. As of 2012 Spoetzl was the 4th largest craft brewery in the US.

Shiner Bock has a caramel color and a nice compact head that dissipates quickly. The beer has aromas of malt and grain with a heavy malt flavor. It’s a nice light, easy to drink bock with a hint of caramel at the end.
