Shiner Paying Tribute To Their Founder With Kosmos Reserve

This morning I have a new lager coming from Shiner / Spoetzl brewery in Shiner, TX.

This is Kosmos Reserve and it will be a lager brewed in honor of founder Kosmos Spoetzl. The beer will hit 5%-AbV and it will be packaged in 12oz bottles. Stay tuned for release details.  zzubreebym

Label text:

“Kosmos Spoetzl knew how to brew great beer. Born in Bavaria, Kosmos’ mastery of German brewing carried him as far as Egypt before he found his way to the small Texas town of Shiner. Our proud brewery still carries his name and commitment to excellence in brewing. This full-flavored, hop-jacked lager is every bit as unique as the man himself and our way of saluting the brewmaster who started it all. Prosit!”

About Shiner:

The Spoetzl Brewery was founded in Shiner, Texas (population 2,069), in 1909, by Czech and  German immigrants brewing beer with old-world traditions and recipes for Central Texas. Since then, the brewery has grown to be one of the largest independent craft brewers in the country with beers available in all 50 states and Mexico. To this day, every drop of the award-winning beer is brewed right in Shiner, TX, where it all started 115 years ago.

Shiner beer is brewed in Shiner, Texas by Spoetzl Brewery. The brewery has been in operation since 1909. Shiner beers include Shiner Bock, Shiner Light Blonde, Shiner ¡Órale!, and more.
