For sports fans visiting San Antonio for the Valero Texas Open (March 31 – April 6) or the NCAA Men’s Final Four (April 5 & 7,) embellish the excitement off the course and court with a visit to Maverick Distilling, blending history, sports, and craft in one remarkable outing.
When exploring “Alamo City,” the historic Alamo known for its pivotal role in the Texas Revolution, offers visitors an immersive glimpse into the past with its preserved architecture and engaging exhibits. Just a short stroll from the Alamo lies the Maverick Distillery, an intriguing spot with deep family connections to the Alamo’s history.
Maverick Distilling, located at 115 Broadway, San Antonio, Texas, is a distillery, brewery, tasting room, and event center dedicated to Sam and Mary Ann Maverick, one of San Antonio’s earliest families. Located just steps away from the historic Alamo on the original Maverick family homestead, native son Kenneth Maverick established Maverick Distilling as a nod to the Maverick family’s roots and patriarch Sam Maverick—for whom all other mavericks are named.
The distillery not only produces craft spirits but also embodies the spirit of the Maverick family, whose legacy is intricately woven into the story of Texas independence. The state-of-the-art distillery produces a variety of spirits distilled using Texas-grown grains on a copper hybrid pot still. Rich Texas history is imbued into the barrels as they age in the vault of this restored historic bank building. Taste award-winning spirits like whiskey, gin, and agave spirits; enjoy cocktails and tour the facility.
