Since Christmas is just a month away, the shelves are being lined with appropriately themed products and the liquor stores are no exception; take the Shiner Holiday Cheer beer as the perfect example.

Although, as Uncrate points out, "it might not stand out amongst the sea of holiday themed brews lining your bottle shop shelves" it is still "an underrated gem worthy of your attention."
The Shiner Holiday Cheer beer boasts notes of Texan peaches and pecans as well as caramelized malts for a sweet drink that nevertheless has the perfect touch of nuttiness. Forget the eggnog and hot chocolate when it comes to festive drinks.
