OUR STORY

Coastal Bend Distilling Company provides customers with a distillery experience that captures the spirit and lifestyle of South Texas. We proudly represent the independence and heritage of South Texas and the Coastal Bend Region, and our quality spirits reward customers with an experience as memorable as Texas itself.

Each of our primary spirits tells a story that weaves into the greater tapestry that makes South Texas distinctive. Opened in late 2018, Coastal Bend Distilling Co. produces Live Oak Vodka, Lucky Star Gin, Colonel Fannin's Whiskey, Louisiana Purchase Single Barrel Whiskey, Copano Bay Rum, and La Lechuza Agave Spirit among other smaller craft batch productions.

​Coastal Bend Distilling Co. is located in downtown Beeville, Texas on the premise of the old 1800's Skidmart hardware and Grant Lumber Company site.

MEET OUR FOUNDER

Picture
Kenneth Bethune is often asked, "Why a distillery?" and "Why Beeville?"

When any other entrepreneur would want to establish business in booming Texas cities like San Antonio or Austin, Bethune wanted to put down roots in an understated city that was a part of history. With his family ranch not far off in Live Oak County, the city of Beeville played a role in his youth and in his vision as an entrepreneur. Bethune is an advocate for small-town America and Beeville perfectly encapsulates all the good that small towns have to offer.

The other question - Why a distillery? - well that answer came a little more easily. It sounded fun. And it is.

Bethune established Coastal Bend Distilling Co. in 2016 and we opened our doors in January 2019. With a small but mighty team behind him, Bethune's vision is to grow and establish a respected quality spirit brand that can hold its own against any other label and gives back to the community that we love so dearly.
