Season 2[]
Hank is sealing each filled Schraderbräu bottles with bottle caps in his garage after calling in sick the day he received a promotion to El Paso Intelligence Center, which disappoints his wife Marie Schrader. After she leaves, he accidentally cuts himself when a bottle he was sealing shatters.
At night, Hank immediately drew his gun in panic when he hears loud gunshot-like pops coming from inside the house. He opened the door to his garage to reveal it's actually the Schraderbräu bottles exploding due to over-carbonation. ("Breakage")
Hank offers a six-pack of the beer as a prize in a fundraiser for Walter White's cancer treatment. ("ABQ")

A logo of Schraderbräu appears briefly while Hank is poring over evidence after he discovers Walt is Heisenberg. ("Blood Money")
