Comment: Shiner 96 a limited–edition, authentic Märzen-style brew. The commemorative ale is a tribute to the brewery’s 96-year history and reminiscent of the craft beers that first poured out of the “little brewery” in 1909. Shiner 96 marks the countdown to the Spoetzl Brewery’s centennial in 2009 and will be the first of five commemorative brews to be released. The new brew will be sold in draught, six-packs and a special 24-bottle case housed in a limited-edition wooden crate.
