Shiner launched a new limited-edition seasonal offering, the Candied Pecan Ale. The beer brand partnered with Millican Pecan Company in San Saba, Texas, to incorporate roasted pecans into its flavorful ale. Texas is known as the pecan capital of the world, and Shiner aims to insert the nut's delicious flavor into a warm-toned ale.
The brew features flavors of roasted nuts for a warm feel, ideal for the winter months. It also includes notes of vanilla, brown sugar, and caramel for a sweet finish. Shiner's new Candied Pecan Ale boasts 6% ABV. It complements warming comfort foods like steaming hot pretzels, cured meats, warm french fries, and more. The limited-edition beer will be available until the end of February.
