Welcome to Shiner, TX, "The Cleanest Little City in Texas." Located at the intersection of US Highway 90A and State Highway 95, fourteen miles west of Hallettsville, TX, in western Lavaca County. It began as an Indian settlement called Half Moon, which was home to ranchers, Indians, outlaws, Texas Rangers - and cotton was "King."

In 1885, a post office called Half Moon was opened at a trading post near the present site of Shiner. When the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railway came to the area in 1887, it bypassed Half Moon and built through land owned by Henry B. Shiner. Mr. Shiner donated 250 acres for a right-of-way and depot, and a town soon grew around the transportation facilities. At first, the community was called New Half Moon, but in 1888, its name was changed to Shiner. Shiner was incorporated in 1890, and L.P. Amsler was elected the first mayor. 

Today Shiner has many agricultural products, such as dairy and beef cattle, cotton and corn; and industrial products such as wire products, grill guards, and plastics. Of course, Shiner is perhaps most well-known for the line of Shiner beers, brewed at the Spoetzl Brewery, but there are many others shops and services to be found in our little town. Visit these sites or discover others on your own!

Since 1909, every drop of Shiner Beer has been brewed at the Spoetzl Brewery in Shiner, TX (population 2069). Today our little brewery sends more than 6 million cases of delicious Shiner Beer to states across the country. We think our founder, Kosmos Spoetzl, would be pretty proud.
