Oct. 14--Plano's Love & War in Texas serves more Shiner beer -- on tap and in the bottle -- than any bar or restaurant in North Texas.

Only American Airlines Inc. is a bigger Shiner customer locally, but that's expected to change next week when Spoetzl Brewery Co. rolls out new Shiner Light.

"We are thrilled about it," says Love & War co-owner Travis Shull. "For Shiner, this will bring them more into the mainstream, and it will mean better sales for them and us."
