What's your preference....? I like both, but I'll stick with Shiner. Even though Ziegen Bock markets itself as brewed and sold only in Texas, it's still owned by a Missouri company (Anheuser-Busch)..... Shiner is Texas owned..

Shiner - I hate the old Ziegen Bock commercials

SHINER BOCK RULES!

Zeigen Bock is just some lame-ass poser beer. Has anybody else noticed a weird aftertaste from Zeigen Bock?

Also, is it just me or is anybody else irritated by the fact that a beer based in Missouri attempts to slam such a Texas tradition as Shiner and the Spoetzel Brewery as not being truly Texan?

As a side note, neither one is actually a true Bock beer, nor do they even remotely approach it. They are actually dark, amber lagers. For some reason Texas brewing laws prohibit the brewing of true Bock beer. All true Bock beers found in Texas are brewed elsewhere and imported.

Shiner......of course!

Bock is a style of lager beer which originated in Germany. It was
traditionally brewed in the fall, at the end of the growing season,
when barley and hops were at their peak. It was "lagered" all winter
and enjoyed in the spring at the beginning of the new brewing season.
Bocks can be pale (helles) or dark (dunkles) and there are
double(doppel) bocks which are extra strong.

Bocks are usually strong beers made with lots of malt yielding a very
full-bodied, alcoholic beer. A persistent myth has been that bock
beers are made from the dregs at the bottom of a barrel when they are
cleaned in the spring. This probably seemed logical because of the
heavier body and higher strength of bocks. From a brewing standpoint,
this is clearly impossible for two reasons: 1) The "dregs" left after
fermentation are unfermentable, which is exactly why they are left
over. They cannot be fermented again to make more beer. 2) Any
attempt to re-use the "dregs" would probably result in serious
bacterial contamination and a product which does not resemble beer as
we know it.

Monster on cayenne, rice, black beans, white chicken, mild sauce, and cilantro.

Both are nasty. Fat Tire all the way!

Zeigen Bock sounds gay.. "you wanna touch my monkey?"..
