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.
