Hi guys.
The past few years I have LOVED the Shiner Ruby Red Bird. I called it the perfect summer beer. A beer that made me want to go out and get hot and sweaty just to be able to come inside and guzzle one down. I always hunted it down towards the end of the season.
This year I bought a sixer and couldn't finish it. I tried a few more sixers and same shit. There are still two in the back of my fridge by the baking soda.

Same thing with Holiday Cheer. It was my go-to during Winter. I remember telling people "PEACHES!! PECANS!! I CAN TASTE THEM!" It has taken me a week to drink three. And the third is sitting in front of me getting warm.

I came to ask you what the hell happened? Bad year? They change something? I figured you would know /ck/

DUDE. I feel your pain.
I grew up relatively close to Shiner, and drank Shiner beers all my life. I, like you, loved the Ruby Red Bird when I first bought it. LOVED IT. Like you said, perfect summer beer, The last six of it I bought sat in the cabinet forever, untouched except for 1, until I had drank all the other beers I had. Same with the Cheer. Same with the Smokehouse. IDK what the deal is, but it seems like they've changed the formulas a bit. Maybe because they are mass-marketing them now. I mean, I can get more varieties of Shiner where I live now (in NorCal), than I did living in Central Texas. I think perhaps that's it.
Anyway, on a brighter note, if you can find Samuel Smith's Winter Welcome, that's a nice Christmastime beer.

Ruby Redbird is girly beer. I used to like Shiner OK enough, I haven't had it in awhile though. Saint Arnold is better.

At least I know it is not just me! Thank you.
Newkie brown is my favorite beer but I love a Smiths Nut Brown if I'm feeling uppity, I'll have to try their winter beer. Thanks for the recommendation.
I've never had the Smokehouse, but I am not a fan of the Farmhouse, or Black Lager, and I won't drink the Wild Hare.
Shiner Bock was my first brown though and I drank a ton of it before switching to Newcastle.

I couldn't give two shits about your property. I own over 400 acres in Gillespie and Blanco counties, inherited from my family, going back just as long as yours. You can stay on your coastal flats, I can still sit on my porch looking at my view and drink your overrated beer all day long.

I like shiner bock a lot. Even been to the brewery on a detour to Houston.

I like that its not as try hard as other beers. I dont like beer that has hints of orange or berries, or whatever those hipster snobs from Austin call beer.

I want a beer that tastes like a beer.

dont go for anything too hoppy at first.

budweiser is low tier to most people, but you can enjoyable pound them back all night, and the flavor wont make you sick.

I had a 12pk of sierra nevada and the I can usually kill the whole pack in a night, but the hoppy taste just killed me.

I drink to get drunk though. to each their own.

I suppose it depends on your point of view. If you have been in the UK all your life, it WOULD be "fine". They won't let you die on their watch. So that's good. You get a lot more skill and comfort within the US system, though. And the funny thing is, you can get all that for free; with the US government picking up the tab. So long as you aren't a filthy white racist CIS male earning above $65,000 a year. If you are, then you pay for EVERY FUCKING THING.
