If you’ve ever walked into Künstler Brewing, chances are Allison McHale greeted you with a big smile, a cold craft beer, and genuine warmth that makes our taproom feel like home. Allison is more than just an incredible beertender — she’s a true superstar on both sides of the bar. She takes care of guests like family and lifts up her coworkers every shift, whether she’s pouring the perfect pint, jumping on the floor to wait on tables, or simply being the positive heartbeat of the brewery.

Right now, Allison is in the hospital and unable to work. Medical bills are piling up fast, and like so many in our industry, she doesn’t have the kind of cushion that makes this kind of unexpected hardship easy to handle. She’s always been the first one to help others — now it’s our turn to help her. We’re coming together as the Künstler family — team members, regulars, friends, and the wider San Antonio beer community — to support Allison through her recovery.

Every dollar raised will go directly toward her medical expenses, rent, groceries, and other bills so she can focus on getting healthy and back behind the bar where she belongs. Allison has poured so much love and care into our community. If she’s ever made your day brighter, shared a laugh with you, or just made you feel at home at Künstler, please consider chipping in and sharing this campaign. Even a small gift or kind word means the world. From the bottom of our hearts — thank you for being part of this Künstler family and for helping one of our very best.
