In Popular Culture
Shiner Bock is a favorite beer within the Texas Country music scene. The brand is mentioned in songs by Robert Earl Keen, Jason Boland & the Stragglers, Pat Green, Josh Abbott Band, Gary P. Nunn, Casey Donahew, Django Walker and Brandon Rhyder.
Georgia country artist Jason Aldean was forced to change a reference to Shiner Bock in his 2012 song "Take a Little Ride". The original lyric, “grab a little Shiner Bock” was replaced with “grab a couple Rocky Tops" due to the fact that he was in the process of signing a sponsorship contract with Coors.

“Letting a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend is the policy for promoting the progress of the arts and the sciences and a flourishing culture in our land.”
