    Umm, on the subject of Shiner...

    It isn't really a bock. More of a dark lager. Now, granted, most American beers are pilsners, which is on the light end of the lager scale, but Shiner Bock is on the same scale.

    True bocks are apparently closer to malt liquors. Which Shiner Bock is nowhere near.

    You need to reevaluate.
