BierFest organizers hope for another ‘magical’ year

BierFest organizers hope for another ‘magical’ year
Travis Poling

It all started with a brass band and a dream to tour Europe, and serving up Boerne and regional beer paved the transatlantic path to its realization. Now in it’s fifth year, starting in 2017 and skipping 2020, the Boerne BierFest will fill five acres with beer from 30 area breweries.

On Saturday, Sept. 24, the community and folks from all over Texas will converge on The AgriCultural Museum and Arts Center for a day of beer tasting, music and competitions.

It all benefits the Hill Country Council for the Arts, which uses proceeds from the ticketed event to fund grants for various arts endeavors. The first year of the festivities raised $27,000 to send the Boerne Village Band, now in its 162nd year, to perform in several European countries, said Paula Horner, who heads the HCCA as president.
