The Bare Knuckle I tasted a few years back the the GABF.
Otherwise, I completely ignore the "mass-market beer" section
of my local liquor and grocery stores, so I don't know what
they sell around here.
While in Austin several years back I tried the Ziegenbock.
I liked it better than Shiner Bock because it was cleaner-- it
didn't have the corn flavor of Shiner.

I was never overly impressed with Shiner either. I thought the Ziegenbock
was acceptable but if I was going to pay that much for a six-pack, I figured
I'd just come up with the few extra pennies for Saint Arnold's.
