Shiner Hefeweizen
Spoetzl Brewery
Shiner, Texas
Somebody's got a yeast infection and it ain't you or I. It's a geyser called Spoetzl. In other news you're not getting the bread, the beer and the chuffing horse with this one. No, what we have here is a white ale that approaches a low-level Belgian but without the candy puss and the refined palate. The lemon and orange are principles along with Captain Wheat and his merry grain-men. You can't really call this a failure because it's rather drinkable in a summer session sort of way, it's just not what you bargained for when you dialed up that dancing girl, Hefe Jo Hefe, with the quarter-sized eyeballs and other balls which we shall not mention here in this family-friendly forum. Do you get me? Good for what it isn't and not really what it is at all.

Kudos on the great blog. I spent most of my workday reading it.
There's one thing that bothers me: do you have to pour your beer so fast? Everytime I see a glass overflow a little piece of me dies.
Actually, I do! I only have 30 seconds to fit in the crappy video on my camera! Otherwise I would pour normal. :)
dude. i don't care how many seconds you have you don't pour a hefeweizen like that and post it on the internet. wtf? shiner hefe is a good beer, if you pour it right, leaving just enough in the bottle to stir up the yeast in the bottom and pour it to achieve the cloudy mixture the hefeweizens are known for. come on man, do it right or don't do it at all!
Face it, Shiner Hefe is macro swill! Don't get all sentimental about a beer just because you like it. Any good beer can be poured into a toilet at breakneck speed and still taste great. This isn't one of them.
