We Continue New Braunfels

Lush! Green! Old! The city dates back to about 1846-- that's history! The folks who settled that area were the cream of the crop, well-educated, intelligent, enterprising. They were escaping Germanic militarism and regimentation. They valued education and hard work.








Those old German settlers were surprisingly tolerant for their day; pretty easy-going. It's tough to say whether the first things they built were churches or breweries... both were considered important. The brewery in Shiner is still making the best beer in the world.
