The Spoetzl Brewery in Shiner, Texas, craft brewer of the iconic Shiner Bock, announced today a $100,000 contribution to The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country to support flood relief efforts in Kerr County, Texas following the devastating flooding this past July 4th weekend. The brewery’s K. Spoetzl BBQ Co. will also be contributing all proceeds from the restaurant on Sunday, July 13th to The Community Foundation.
Tom Fiorenzi, Shiner’s Director of Brewery and Distillery Operations, stated, “Our hearts are with the Kerr County community and all those affected as they recover from these floods. As a fellow small town, we in Shiner feel a deep need to stand with those affected and offer our support. We also want to give a huge thank-you to all the first responders and volunteers whohave worked over the last several days to support the community.”
Shiner Beers is making the donation in connection with their “Shiner’s Got Your Back” initiative, which provides funds for disaster relief to small communities like Kerrville, which in many ways is like the Spoetzl Brewery’s hometown of Shiner, Texas. Shiner’s Got Your Back has a long-standing history for supporting small communities. Past donations include funds for wildfire relief in North Texas and Ruidoso, New Mexico in 2024; the Wurstfest fire in New Braunfels, Texas in 2019; tornado relief in Moore, Oklahoma, Franklin, Texas, and Canton, Texas in 2017; and a fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas in 2013.
