Busted Sandal Brewing Company

Craft Brewery in San Antonio - 10.31 mi

Finally open in 2013, the brewery is named after an actual busted sandal the same two friends found at the parking lot of the place where they had just been drinking and discussing their dreams.

Boerne Brewery

Craft Brewery in Boerne - 16.51 mi

Both engineers, Fred got hooked on home brewing when Jennifer gave him a Mr. Beer Kit. Eventually, Jennifer kicked him out of the kitchen and garage, and started searching for a property in the area that could house a brewery. The rest, as they say, is history. Housed in a 6,000 square foot facility, the brewery currently has four main brews and two seasonal offerings. To honor the town’s German roots, their beers are named after a significant piece of Boerne history. The label for each beer is made by local artists, and strengthens their ties to the Boerne community.
