The Spoetzl Brewery has announced that it will celebrate its 96th anniversary by launching Shiner 96, a limited-edition Marzen-style brew. Shiner 96 marks the countdown to the Spoetzl Brewery's centennial in 2009 and will be the first of five commemorative brews to be released. "It took 96 years for this beer to happen.

Shiner 96 honors our nearly century-long brewing heritage and our ancestors that founded this little brewery. It serves as a 'thank you' to our loyal Shiner patrons," said Brewmaster Jimmy Mauric. "We are proud of our town, our brewery, and this special commemorative beer." Shiner 96 will be available starting in September, in anticipation of the 12th Annual Bocktoberfest Concert. The new brew will be sold in draught, six-packs and a special 24-bottle limited-edition wooden crate. The first 1,909 crates will be hand-signed by the brewmaster. Shiner 96 will be sold in AL, AK, AZ, AR, CA, CO, D.C., DE, GA, IA, KY, LA, MD, MO, MS, MN, NM, NC, OH, OK, OR, SC, TN, TX VA, WA and WI through December 31, 2005.
