Too bad it's now March 2010. Still tastes great. Did production stop at the end of '09? Cheers from B'ham, Alabama What a tremendous beer! Too bad it’s now March 2010. Still tastes great.

I went to where my friend got it-none there! If you've stopped brewing it, give it another name if you must, but keep start again.

I hope management doesn't mandate killing the brew after the turn of 2010. It's too good, some say even better than the great Shiner Bock, that has carried Spotzel to fame. Name thi Commemorator recipe something else or whatever but please keep it available.

The "ale" designation on the label is a Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission requirement that has to do with alcohol content and has nothing to do with brewing style. Any beer over a certain ABV has to be labeled an ale, even if the beverage is technically a lager.
