Boerne Celebrates American Craft Beer Week with 5th Annual Bock Walk

Boerne, Texas, is set to celebrate American Craft Beer Week from May 11-17, 2026, with a spotlight on its thriving local brewery scene. The highlight of the week is the 5th Annual Bock Walk, taking place on May 16-17, where six independent craft breweries will each craft and serve their own signature Maibock—a traditional German-style lager known for its smooth malt character and springtime appeal. The 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. Beer enthusiasts are invited to explore each location, savor unique Maibock interpretations, and experience the collaborative spirit that defines Boerne’s craft beer culture.

Tori Bellos with Visit Boerne emphasized that the breweries are more than just places to enjoy craft beer—they are vital parts of the community and visitor experience. 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 “rep” 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, showcasing the breweries’ dedication to craftsmanship and community impact. The Bock Walk will lead participants 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. Boerne, located just 30 miles northwest of San Antonio, is known for its historic downtown, scenic landscapes, and strong sense of community, making it a beloved destination for residents and visitors alike.
