SHINER, TX – The Spoetzl Brewery, AKA the brewer of Shiner Bock beer, will be showing love to Texans by donating $500,000 to the Texas Restaurant Association’s relief fund.
According to KENS 5 News, the announcement was made Thursday morning, listing the relief fund as a way to provide immediate financial relief to Texas’ independent restaurant owners with funds designed to help employee's whose jobs have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Through an application process, the fund issues grants of up to $5,000 per restaurant unit to keep restaurants in operation and their employees paid.
“We are saddened to know that restaurants and bars throughout Texas—that are independent like us—are in distress. We hope that our collective fundraising efforts will help them respond to the challenges that they’re facing," said Jimmy Mauric, Shiner’s Brewmaster.
Shiner Beer is also encouraging its followers on social media to donate to the Texas Restaurant Relief Fund initiative by texting “ShineOnTX” to 319-96.
Dr. Emily Williams Knight, President & CEO of the Texas Restaurant Association and Education Foundation said, “In times of crisis, restaurants are always on the front lines, feeding victims and first responders; in this crisis, restaurants are among the victims. Together with amazing partners like Spoetzl Brewery, we can support restaurants and their employees, the heart of our communities, stay in operation and weather this storm."
