Beer of the Week

The beer: Shiner Candied Pecan Porter

Brewed by: Spoetzl Brewery, Shiner, Texas

Description (from Untappd): "Brewed with roasted praline pecans, this robust porter provides subtle notes of roasted pecans, vanilla, caramel and brown sugar."

Would I buy it again?: Shiner beers aren't usually something I'd think about reviewing because, frankly, I see them as basically the Yuengling of Texas. A craft brewery, sure, but only by the technical definition. The Shiner Bock is pretty similar to a standard Yuengling lager. But this is worth reviewing, because I really, really like this. I had a pecan beer a few months ago and didn't care for it, but this one is delicious, thanks to the addition of caramel and vanilla. I hope it sticks around.
