In fact, usually when I get a non-Texan to try it and they fall in love with it, their biggest complaint is that they can't find it outside of Texas.
I've heard that the folks at Shiner have really resisted going national with their product, because they want to remain a specialty microbrewery. I find that admirable, considering that they value something over money and fame.
If you can find it, definitely try it - especially if it's available in draught. It is pure bliss. Full flavor with just the right balance. It is definitely my go-to brand.
I can get bottled Shiner Bock here in far eastern North Carolina! And I agree with your comments about it.
