They already do. They have a stout called Bare Knuckle, and a

No sh!t??? Never heard of either. I'll have to investigate! They must
not advertise it much, if AT ALL!!! I suppose they spend entirely too
much on advertising their main swills during the Superbowl...

I've heard of the Michelob porter but not the stout. I wonder if they're
regional offerings? If so, that could make them harder to find. AB started
Zeigenbock here in TX several years back because of Shiner Bock's popularity
and I'm not sure if it's still regional or gone national.

The Bare Knuckle I tasted a few years back the the GABF.
Otherwise, I completely ignore the "mass-market beer" section
of my local liquor and grocery stores, so I don't know what
they sell around here.
While in Austin several years back I tried the Ziegenbock.
I liked it better than Shiner Bock because it was cleaner-- it
didn't have the corn flavor of Shiner.

I was never overly impressed with Shiner either. I thought the Ziegenbock
was acceptable but if I was going to pay that much for a six-pack, I figured
I'd just come up with the few extra pennies for Saint Arnold's.
