"The cover unfolds to become a 20-by-30-inch vintage Shiner poster. So the book is, in more ways than one, a work of art." – Abilene Reporter News "This book is exactly what you think it is, and is very good at what it does. Shiner Bock fans will absolutely love this." – Mutineer Magazine "For fans of Shiner beer and the Spoetzel Brewery, as well Texas history buffs, comes an entertaining read of the brewery's first century." – www.beercook.com "This is a great-looking, big-format hardback with crisp, lavish design and graphics finally, a coffee table book for beer geeks. Better yet, Renfro captures the flavor of this much-loved regional brewery, reminding us in the process that a great brewery is a part of its community, city and state. Bigger than that and it becomes something else." – The Oregonian Newspaper "[Shine On] is an easy-flowing, beautifully designed coffee-table history that should stand up to scrutiny. It's a fun read, especially for Shiner fans." – Fort Worth Star Telegram
On Commemorating the 100-year anniversary of Shiner Beer, this entertaining history tells the complete story of a famous Texas establishment. Shiner Bock has entered into the pantheon of Texan icons, and Shine On: 100 Years of Shiner Beer chronicles its development, from the improbable beginning of German and Czech immigrants who founded the brewery to the successes and struggles of a growing business, and the many times the brand was as good as dead. For beer connoisseurs, Texas history buffs, or simply those who appreciate a story of beating the odds, Shine On is a tribute to an independent and well-made beer.
