Boerne, Texas, is set to celebrate American Craft Beer Week, May 11-17, with a lineup of events culminating in the 5th Annual Bock Walk on May 16-17. The event highlights the city’s six independent craft breweries, each offering a unique interpretation of the traditional German-style Maibock lager, known for its smooth malt character and springtime appeal.
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, beer enthusiasts can explore each location, sample the signature Maibocks, and experience the collaborative spirit that defines Boerne’s craft beer culture.
Tori Bellos with Visit Boerne emphasized the role of the breweries beyond just serving beer. ‘Each brewery brings its own personality and passion to Boerne. Together, they create a welcoming destination that both visitors and locals are proud to be part of,’ Bellos said. The breweries are considered vital to the community and visitor experience, contributing to Boerne’s reputation as a destination for quality, creativity, and community.
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.
The Bock Walk also serves as a guide 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, simplifying planning for a long weekend in Boerne.
The event underscores the importance of local breweries as community hubs and economic drivers. Boerne, located just 30 miles northwest of San Antonio, is known for its historic downtown, clear waterways, and scenic landscapes. The city’s craft beer scene has grown alongside its reputation as a welcoming destination, with the Bock Walk serving as a prime example of how local businesses can collaborate to create unique experiences that benefit both residents and visitors.
By tying the event to American Craft Beer Week and supporting a nonprofit like Paidion Shield, Boerne’s breweries demonstrate their commitment to craftsmanship and community. The limited-edition t-shirt not only serves as a souvenir but also contributes to a cause that aligns with the breweries’ values, further strengthening their bond with the community.
