If you want to try some different black and tan combinations, picking up some Shiner beer from the Spoetzl Brewery in Shiner TX can really help. Here are 28 pictures showing Shiner beers used together and with other brews for some great layering recipes.

Shiner Black Lager: A great dark beer for a top layer
Shiner Premium Beer: A great light colored beer for a top or bottom layer
Shiner Birthday Beer chocolate stout: A great dark beer for a bottom layer
Shiner Light Blonde: The best light colored top layer beer. Check out the picture where it layered ON TOP OF GUINNNESS!!!
Shiner White Wing: A great light colored, cloudy beer for a top or bottom layer

Thomas from Kansas sent me some feedback saying that he had trouble using the beer layering tool. He told me he used a microbrew stout from Manhatten KS and Pilsner Urquell. He said that when he poured the stout over the Pilsner, the stout flowed to the bottom. I told him to try reversing the layers and pour the pilsner over the stout as it appeared that the pilsner is the lighter of the two beers. Hopefully he'll let me know how it works out.

Anyway, I had never tried layering with Pilsner Urquell before so I picked up some for the Super Bowl. As the picture shows, it layered very nicely under some Shiner Black lager. BTW - Guinness over Urquell is called a Black Czech.
