I like Negro Modelo and agree Ziegenbock wouldn't be a terrible imitation of that. It wasn't a bad beer at all I was just hoping for a little fuller flavor. Some on BeerAdvocate suggest it's Bud's attempt to compete with Shiner Bock; thoughts? How popular is Shiner out there? Seth - You're mighty welcome. Draft recommends Gordon Biersch's Hefe at LAX; I haven't had their Hefe but I love their Pils - lemme know how it is. Also, if any of the servers know if their Hef is made with German or American yeast (German is usually considered superior) I'd be delighted to know (and impressed if the airport bartenders knew).

I'll make sure I'll get to LAX a little earlier next time! Thanks for the heads up re: Good Airport Brews. I’ll make sure I’ll get to LAX a little earlier next time!

I can't prove it but I believe that this beer was produced to compete with Negro Modelo which is very similar in color, flavor and body. Its not an awful beer but its not a great one either. Its too bad they didn't have any St Arnold on tap in the airport. Being a Texas native I have experienced Ziegenbock many times.
