Shiner Beer raises $100,000 for Puerto Rico relief efforts (CBB starts slow clap)

November 2, 2017Pretty Much a Press Release

Shiner Beer Philadelphia Texas

The Spoetzl Brewery in Shiner, Texas, craft brewer of the awesome and famous Shiner Bock brand, announced today that it given contributions totaling $100,000 to several non-profit organizations to support relief efforts in Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria, a Category 5 hurricane that struck Puerto Rico on Sept. 20. The contributions were made in connection with the local distributor of Shiner Beers in Puerto Rico, V. Suárez and Co. Inc., who helped select the organizations to receive the contributions:

  • Red de Fundaciones de PR
  • Puerto Rico Recovery Fund
  • Banco de Alimentos de Puerto Rico
  • Fundación de Puerto Rico
  • United Way of Puerto Rico
  • Unidos por Puerto Rico

As a family-owned company with deep roots in Puerto Rico and the community, familiar with the local heritage and traditions and with employees spread throughout the island, V. Suarez and Co. was the perfect partner to help Spoetzl Brewery identify the most appropriate recipients for these donations.

Shiner_Beers_Full_Color_LogoJimmy Mauric, Shiner’s brewmaster, stated, “Our hearts go out to those affected by Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. We are proud of V. Suarez and Co., our local distributor in Puerto Rico, and their efforts to respond to the challenges. We are deeply committed to supporting them and the people of Puerto Rico in their recovery.”

In the wake of natural disasters similar to Hurricane Maria, Shiner Beers and its ownership have donated funds to charitable organizations in the most affected areas. Most recently, Shiner made contributions to support areas affected by Hurricane Harvey in Texas and Hurricane Irma in Florida. Prior to that, Shiner contributed to the relief efforts for the catastrophic flooding in Central Louisiana in 2016, Hurricane Sandy in 2012, Hurricane Ike in 2008 and Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
