Boerne, Texas, is gearing up to celebrate American Craft Beer Week, May 11-17, with its 5th Annual Bock Walk on May 16-17. The event highlights the city's six independent craft breweries, which have contributed to Boerne's growing reputation as a destination for quality and community. 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 and serve its own signature Maibock, a traditional German-style lager known for its smooth malt character and springtime appeal. Beer enthusiasts can explore each location, savor unique Maibock interpretations, and experience the collaborative spirit defining Boerne's craft beer culture. Tori Bellos with Visit Boerne emphasized that the breweries are more than places to enjoy craft beer; they are a vital part of the community and visitor experience. 'Each brewery brings its own personality and passion to Boerne,' Bellos said. 'Together, they create a welcoming destination that both visitors and locals are proud to be part of.'
Attendees can commemorate the event with a limited-edition Boerne craft brewery t-shirt, available for pre-order online. The exclusive design features all six breweries and offers fans a chance to represent Boerne's craft beer community. A portion of proceeds from every shirt sold will benefit Paidion Shield, a veteran-run nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting children through safety training and preparedness programs. This partnership showcases the breweries' dedication to craftsmanship and their meaningful impact on the community.
Boerne is the perfect destination for a long weekend, and the Bock Walk will lead attendees 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 planning. The event underscores the importance of local breweries in driving tourism and fostering community spirit in Boerne, a historic city nestled in the Texas Hill Country.
