Shiner’s Home for the Holidays Variety Pack adds new flavors to its festive offering

In a blink of an eye, holiday décor will appear and the melodic notes from those carolers will break the silence. As everyone ponders the festivities, it is time to stock the fridge with favorite libations. Shiner’s Home for the Holidays Variety Pack is a beverage tradition for many.

While the Lone Star State adores the iconic brewery located in Shiner, Texas, the craft brewery founded by Czech and German immigrants appreciates that tradition is just as important as innovation. It is one of the reasons why that classic Bock is just as refreshing as its Ruby Redbird.

Around the holiday season, some people are more willing to imbibe and raise a glass to another successful year. Whether it is a simple family gathering or an ambitious feast, a refreshing beverage can keep the laughter high and the good times rolling.

Since it can be difficult to please everyone’s palate, a beer variety pack is often the host’s best beverage friend. From the person who wants a hearty stout to the lager enthusiast, a few bottles of each brew can make everyone feel included.

Shiner’s Home for the Holiday Varity Pack is a great option for both the host and the person who likes more than one type of seasonal beers. In addition to returning favorites, like Holiday Cheer, Candied Pecan, Kosmos Reserve, two new beers join the offering. They are Shiner S’more and Shiner FM 966.

The Shiner FM 966 is an unusual choice for a holiday beer. While there is an underlying spice note from the trio of hops used in the ale, this beverage is similar to European Springtime brews. In a way, the ale seems to convey a wish for brighter days ahead. Slightly cozy, it feels easy drinking and offers food pairing versatility.

The Shiner S’more is a great option for people who prefer to sip their dessert. The color shows that it is clearly a dark ale, but it is almost sessionable. The sweetness of chocolate and marshmallow are apparent, but the buttery graham cracker and familiar vanilla make it feel comforting. Turning this beer into a float is a great idea.

Include in the variety pack and sold on its own, Shiner Holiday Cheer is always a favorite. This year, the iconic Dunkelweizen has a new look. The packaging feels lively, like a good party waiting to be joined.

For beer drinkers who love this old-world favorite, the classic flavor has not changed. The slightly juicy note from the Texas peaches combined with the nutty pecan flavor melds beautifully with the malt. It is warm, familiar, yet exciting. Opening that first holiday beer of the season is like the thrill of unwrapping the presents under the tree.

Shiner’s holiday beer offerings are starting to roll out to stores now. Check with retailers for availability and pricing.
