been doing some research. looks like shiner hasn't brewed this in over 10 years.
they brought it back this year as part of their reunion packs.

looks like it's only available as part of the group..shiner doesn't release it as it's own sixer

I had Kosmo when we went to Bocktober fest in the late 90's. I liked it, always wondered why they chose the blonde instead of the Kosmo.

I believe it is the name of the the founder or something.

Kosmo was the name of the original brewmaster.

98 doesn't a hold a candle to the Black (97).

I wish they'd bring back Kolsch and Dunkelweizen.

Actually Shiner Premium is the original - I believe they changed the name to Shiner Blonde for marketing reasons.

I got that the other day and tried it. It liked it, but it is not my favorite Shiner.

They changed the name to Shine Blonde because Shiner Premium was a s*** beer on par with the likes of Natty Light and the Beast. Absolutely superb marketing move, but I like a lot of what their marketing people do. Gambrinus has done a spectacular job outside of not brewing Kolsch and Dunkelweizen.

I saw that the other day, but really wanted the 100. Now that I know 98 was in it. I know i failed.

and let me add that i know 97 was better, but they sell that by the 6-pack now so it's not hard to get.

Then you better go out and pick up some Milwaukee's Best and Natty because you'll love them.

I prefer the Kosmos over the blonde.

and while the Class of '97 is far superior to '98, when it comes to Shiner products, the reverse holds true; Shiner '98 was the best thing that brewery ever produced

I loved 98. I wish they'd sell it again like they turned 97 into Black.

+1. loved them both.


Was '97 same in taste as black? I've only had black and just assumed it was the same

There's no way you can say that Blonde is on the same level as Natty Light and the beast...no way.

You might want to get your tastebuds checked there bud.

Shiner Blonde is Shiner Premium. Shiner Premium was on the same level as Natty and the Beast. Effective marketing has convinced people that beer is worth a damn, just like with vodka. It's a travesty that they brew Shiner Light and Shiner Blonde and cut Shiner Kolsch and Shiner Dunkelweizen. A complete and total travesty.

And I like the Beast.

I'm gonna have to disagree. I've had Natty and the beast and they are god awful. Blonde is way smoother and has a lot more flavor.

You're probably right about the marketing thing, but labels aside my tastebuds prefer the Blonde.

Lucky, they might have kept using the old recipe but they definitely added something because Blonde is not a light beer AND it tast 1000% better...

Was Shiner Premium a light beer?

Regardless, throwing out Shiner Light (because that s*** barely qualifies as beer) Blonde is far and away the weakest of the Shiner brews. It's not even a close contest.

I think it is the most "American" beer of the Shiners, but it is still really good. Don't get me wrong, I love every Shiner beer (except the peach crap), but Blonde is my choice to drink on the more frequent basis. I do love me some Hefeweizen though. I also really enjoyed Dunkelweizen. And I absolutely love 100.
