Shiner is home to the historic Spoetzl Brewery, the independent Texas brewery known for crafting Shiner beer since 1909. Rooted in the town’s rich Czech and German heritage, the brewery is a local landmark where tradition, community, and great beer come together. It’s a favorite stop for visitors and a proud part of Shiner’s small-town charm.
If you plan on flying in, take some time to explore South Congress in Austin, Texas. Located just south of Lady Bird Lake, this iconic district stretches from Live Oak to Riverside Drive and offers a perfect taste of Austin’s eclectic charm. Enjoy a vibrant mix of shops, restaurants, and great people-watching—plus a beautiful view of the Texas Capitol. It’s a fun stop before heading to Shiner!
