  • Great tour to learn the history of the Spoetzl Brewery and their flagship beer, Shiner Bock. Shiner, Texas and the surrounding areas have a fascinating background with the Czech and German immigrants....  more

  • This is our 3rd trip. It's a great place to visit. Rich in history. Thus time we saw the upgrade of the tour, gift shop and beer tasting.

  • The tour lasts about 45 minutes and features multiple audio-visual presentations as well as some interactive demonstrations. The highlight for me was the long hallway overlooking the canning/bottling line. You get 3 beer tokens with the basic tour bag, which you can cash in before or after the tour (and you’re allowed to bring a beer along with you). There are several nice photo opportunities along the tour. Same day reservations are by telephone only, but you can plan multiple days out on their website. They also offered a great discount on the tour for veterans and active military. Make sure to stop in the gift shop for some great Shiner merch too!
  • What a great brewery tour! You can’t buy beer here, you have to buy a glass or do a tour to get tokens for beer but the tour is totally worth it. Good selection of beer and very helpful staff. We’ll be back for sure!
