I know all about missing good beer. Keep going another few thousand miles East. Shiner Black is about the best local beer I know of right now.
Shiner black? That's a new one I haven't heard of. When did that become available? I know the bock is dark, but they also have a black? Hmmmm...I need to look into this. How does Shiner Black taste compared to say Guinness or Shiner Bock?
My favorite beer is Guinness. If Guinnes isn't available, I like Shiner. Any dark beer really. I absolutely love Maker's Mark straight, no ice, Knobb Creek is a close second and my favorite Scotch is Macallan - neat.
If I drink a mixed a drink, it's usually something like Jack and coke. Why screw up a good whiskey like Makers by using it in a mixed drink?
Whoever stated Johnny Walker above......JW red sucks ass as far as Scotch goes. Even the Johnny Waker Blue. The best Johnny Walker is Johnny Walker Black. If you like blends instead of single malts.
