Shiner's Spoetzl Brewery adding cocktail lounge and restaurant

Soon there will be even more reason to take a day trip to visit the Spoetzl Brewery, home of Texas' beloved Shiner Bock beer. The 115-year-old brewery in the town of Shiner is adding a cocktail lounge and restaurant to the rapidly expanding list of offerings on its campus, officials said Tuesday. The 8,500-square-foot drinking and dining destination will feature a full kitchen, a covered patio, fire pits and an exclusive VIP area.
