Each and every drop of Shiner Beer is brewed right in the little brewery in Shiner, TX. The Spoetzel Brewery has been going strong since 1909 and is nearing her 100yr anniversary. Today Kim and I made a small detour on our trip home from New Braunfels to the brewery. They graciously took us on a tour of the place and offered us 4 free beers upon arrival. What a magic place…It is serisouly like going to Willy Wonka’s factory for me. Get in the car and stop into that little town for cold beers and smiles. Oh yeah can you believe they pump out 462,000 bottles of beer a day here and only employ 55 fine folks.
