Spoetzl Brewery

On Thursday, June 20th Karen Barber invited Callie Ratley and Lauren Petras from the Spoetzl Brewery to bring us up to date on the current happenings at the brewery.

A fixture in Shiner for over 100 years, the brewery is now open seven days a week. They have added a BBQ restaurant and distillery, have expanded their visiting hours and tour times, and are offering live music at their events and festivals throughout the year. For more on their hours and events check out their website at https://shiner.com/

Rotarians also enjoyed a few favors from Callie and Lauren and were given a tour of the Bock truck. Pictured with the truck from left to right are Callie, Lauren, and Karen.
