Boerne, Texas, is gearing up for American Craft Beer Week, May 11-17, by highlighting its six independent craft breweries and hosting the 5th Annual Bock Walk on May 16-17. The event showcases the city's growing reputation as a destination for quality craft beer, community, and creativity.
Participating breweries include 28 Songs Brewhouse + Kitchen, Hamby's, Tusculum Brewing Co., Cibolo Creek Brewing Co., Free Roam Brewing Co., and The Dodging Duck Brewhaus. During the Bock Walk, each brewery will craft its own signature Maibock, a traditional German-style lager known for its smooth malt character and springtime appeal. Attendees can explore each location, sample unique Maibock interpretations, and experience the collaborative spirit that defines Boerne's craft beer culture.
“Each brewery brings its own personality and passion to Boerne,” said Tori Bellos, marketing specialist with Visit Boerne. “Together, they create a welcoming destination that both visitors and locals are proud to be part of.” Boerne's breweries are seen as vital parts of the community and visitor experience, offering more than just craft beer.
The event also features a limited-edition Boerne craft brewery t-shirt, available for pre-order online. The exclusive design includes all six breweries and allows fans to represent Boerne's craft beer community. A portion of proceeds from each shirt sold will benefit Paidion Shield, a veteran-run nonprofit focused on protecting children through safety training and preparedness programs. This partnership highlights the breweries' dedication to craftsmanship and their meaningful community impact.
The Bock Walk leads participants through the heart of the Hill Country Mile, a vibrant downtown area filled with shops, restaurants, and galleries. Visit Boerne offers ready-made itineraries and accommodation suggestions to simplify trip planning.
