Shiner Strawberry Blonde celebrates the flavors of spring

While the iconic Shiner Bock is legendary, Shiner is never afraid to celebrate its Texas heritage. With the Shiner Strawberry Blonde, spring flavors are bursting from the bottle.

Beer trends have taken all different forms. While there was a push for gose or sour beers recently, others prefer their fruit in a less “pucker” form.

In addition, many hazy IPAs are fruit forward, but the heartier beer sometimes highlights the hops over the fruit forward characters. When a beer drinker wants a crisp, refreshing beer with some fruit flavor, finding the right beer might take opening a few bottles.

Texas is rich with history. While the Lone Star state might attest to the idea that everything is bigger and better, the reality is that there is pride in local products. In some ways, the Shiner Strawberry Blond celebrates that concept.

Shiner, Texas is home to the legendary brewer. Founded in 1909, the Spoetzl Brewery has been a focal point of the area. Whether people quench their thirst with the always delightful Shiner Bock or prefer some of the new offerings, the brewery is always pouring a great beverage.

The Shiner Strawberry Blonde celebrates another Texas locale, Poteet. Known for their sweet strawberries, this beer is brewed in Texas pride.

By combining wheat malt and the homegrown strawberries, the resulting brew is crisp, inviting and refreshing. While the fruit is apparent, it is far from being overly fruity. Whether drunk when the sun is high in the sky or ending the day with a cold one, there are plenty of reasons to have this beer on hand. Plus, with a low ABV, just 4.3%, it is an easy drink.

When thinking about a food pairing, consider lighter foods. A garden salad or some grilled chicken are great options. Or, another choice would to be serve a spicy dish, like a blacken fish or even some jerk seasoning.

The Shiner Strawberry Blonde is available both in six-packs and 12-packs. Check with retailers for availability.
