About Shiner, the K. Spoetzl Brewery, and the K. Spoetzl Distillery
The K. Spoetzl Brewery was founded in Shiner, Texas (population 2,127), in 1909 by Czech and German immigrants brewing beer with old-world traditions and recipes for South Central Texas. Since then, the brewery has grown to be one of the largest independent craft brewers in the country, with beers available in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and U.S. military bases around the world.
In 2023, the Spoetzl Brewery expanded to include the K. Spoetzl Distillery with its line of Shiner Texas Spirits. To this day, every drop of Shiner is crafted right in Shiner, TX, where it all started 116 years ago.
