Deep in the rolling hills of South Texas between San Antonio and Houston, you will discover Shiner, the “Cleanest Little City in Texas.” With its enchanting blend of Czech and German cultures, Shiner’s Old-World charm is truly refreshing. Shiner is the home of the Spoetzl Brewery, the oldest independent brewery in Texas. The brewery is most well-known for producing Shiner Bock, a dark German/Czech-style beer that is now distributed to 49 states. Our first stop of the day will be the Shiner Catholic Church. The church is awe-inspiring and features a majestic altar, painted murals, and wonderful stained-glass windows. After we leave the church, we will visit the Wolters Museum. This museum is an outstanding legacy of Shiner’s history. It’s displays include an antique gun collection, old-time country store, dinosaur bones, embroidery and hand stitchery collections, a delightful doll display, musical instruments and many other interesting antiques. Our next stop will be for a buffet lunch at Werner’s Restaurant. Our last stop of the day will be will be at the brewery where we will see a short video, tour the main room at the brewery and a stop at the hospitality center for a sample of the brew.
