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.

—Carl Bernstein (b. 1944)
“The popular colleges of the United States are turning out more educated people with less originality and fewer geniuses than any other country.”
—Caroline Nichols Churchill (1833–?)
“The fact remains that the human being in early childhood learns to consider one or the other aspect of bodily function as evil, shameful, or unsafe. There is not a culture which does not use a combination of these devils to develop, by way of counterpoint, its own style of faith, pride, certainty, and initiative.”
—Erik H. Erikson (1904–1994)
