That’s how Southern Slice got started. The group wanted to capture the taste and flair of a southern staple, pecan pie. After deciding to use a dark lager as a base, vanilla beans and pecans were give the beer a pie like flavor.

Southern Slice will be packaged in 750ml bottles.

Shiner Cheer Coming to Cans

If you ask this writer (using the term loosely) what he likes to drink around the holidays, I’d give you a few answers. As crazy as it may sound to some, I look forward to Shiner Cheer. This brew has a nice fresh taste of peaches and pecans that really compliments a lot of food options. (New Belgium’s Frambozen is another great one.)

When the season rolls around once again, you’ll see Shiner Cheer in cans for the first time. The only question it raises to me is- are cans equally as important when the weather is cold?

Style: Fruit Beer (w/ Peaches, Pecans)
Availability: 12oz bottles, Draft (Cans soon)
