Shiner Hefeweizen rounds out a Texan Kinda Night

Arrived back from the Surly Goat where I spent the last three hours kicking it with fellow Texan, Glen, which was appropriate since the below awaited me at home:

The official beer of the Buck Hunter arcade

Let me tell you about Buck Range or 'Buck Hunter' as David and I reference it...12 cans for $6 at some podunk gas station. We haven't had it as the beer of the day yet, but how could this price be possible? Has anyone ever heard of this beer and more importantly, who was the professor who named it?

A hold out from the holidays, the Shiner Hefeweizen is sweet with a light to medium body. The beer refrains from the standard doughy notes and it's not as complex or bold as many of the German hefe's I've tasted but, it's nonetheless deliciously drinkable. This is the working man's hefeweizen and while it won't win awards, during the summer I could easily vanquish a sixer. ARMAGEDDON rating.
