From Shiner:
The independent, family-owned maker of the iconic Shiner Bock signs new Spirits Distribution Agreement with Andrews Distributing Company for DFW Metro Area zzubreebym
Shiner, Texas (March 19, 2024) – The Spoetzl Brewery & Distillery, the family-owned and independent craft brewer of the iconic Shiner Bock, announces the addition of Shiner Craft Spirits to its ongoing partnership with Andrews Distributing. Shiner opened an on-premise distillery in 2023 and began offering Shiner Craft Vodka, Shiner Craft Gin, and Shiner ‘Shine white whiskey. Over the last year, Shiner Craft Spirits were only available to purchase at the Spoetzl Distillery.
After a successful first year which saw a Gold Medal awarded to Shiner ‘Shine at the San Diego International Spirits Challenge and Esquire recognizing Shiner Craft Gin as one of their 3 top gins in 2023, the spirits will now be made available on shelves starting April 1 exclusively in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metropolitan Area, the largest market for Shiner Beers.
Andrews Distributing, a key partner for Shiner for nearly three decades, is essential to Shiner's status as the leading craft beer in Texas. The expansion of their initial agreement gives Shiner the opportunity to introduce the DFW-based community to the new craft spirits with the goal of expanded distribution across Texas and nationally.

“Working with the Shiner team is a genuine pleasure,” says Mike McGuire, Co-Managing Partner & CEO at Andrews. “We’re thrilled to get Shiner’s Craft Spirits on shelves in the Dallas-Fort Worth area! We look forward to continuing to grow together in 2024 and beyond.”
Shiner Craft Spirits will be available on shelves on April 1 in the Dallas-Fort Worth area for a suggested retail price of $19.99 for Shiner Craft Vodka and $25.99 for Shiner Craft Gin and ‘Shine White Whiskey.
