Shiner Smokehaus Sommer Bier


Shiner isn't known for making strange, powerfully flavored beers by any means. They do make a lot of fun, easy drinking beers though. The Smokehaus Summer beer is one that may be a bit strange for some people. The hops in this beer are smoked over mesquite wood chips for a while before the beer is brewed, which gives the beer a smoky flavor that some people might find off putting. However, if you're out grilling with smoke flowing into your nostrils anyway, you may not even notice the smoke flavor. Its not an overpowering flavor, but it is no doubt there. Aside from the smoke flavor you'll find a nice, pleasant light pilsner style beer underneath. This beer goes well with pretty much anything you might cook on the grill. I had it with bratwurts and also with steak grilled on a charcoal fire, and it was a perfect compliment. So if you're feeling a little adventurous, but aren't up for trying a full fledged German Smoke bier, give this shiner smokehaus a try.
