Longtab Brewing Renews Partnership with Soldiers’ Angels for 2025

San Antonio’s Veteran-owned brewery continues donation of ‘Military City’ beer sales

SAN ANTONIO, TX. – Longtab Brewing, an award-winning, Veteran-owned brewery located in the heart of San Antonio, announced today that its partnership with Soldiers’ Angels will continue into 2025. The brewery will once again donate a portion of the proceeds from its Military City™ beer—dubbed the “Official Beer of Military City”—to support Soldiers’ Angels in its mission to provide aid, resources, and support to Service Members, Veterans, and their families. 

Military City™, a 5% ABV American Ale, is a community favorite that reflects the spirit and pride of San Antonio, a city with a strong and enduring Military heritage. Renowned as “Military City USA,” San Antonio is home to one of the nation’s largest active and retired Military populations and the Department of Defense’s largest medical center, the Brook Army Medical Center (BAMC) at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston.

“Our mission at Longtab Brewing has always been deeply rooted in the Military values that shaped us,” said David Holland, U.S. Army Special Forces Veteran and founder of Longtab Brewing. “We’re honored to renew our commitment to Soldiers’ Angels, a nonprofit that shares our passion for supporting those who have given so much to our country. Together, we’re not just brewing beer; we’re brewing impact.”

Soldiers’ Angels, the largest volunteer-driven nonprofit of its kind in the United States, has made a nationwide impact through its extensive network of services. The organization supported over 1.4 million Veterans, Service Members, and families in 2024, providing food assistance, hygiene kits, and care packages, among other vital resources. In 2024 alone, more than 49,000 Military-connected families received food assistance, solidifying Soldiers’ Angels as the largest food provider exclusively to Veterans in the country.

“Longtab Brewing has been an incredible partner in uniting the military and civilian communities of San Antonio,” said Amy Palmer, President and CEO of Soldiers’ Angels. “Every pint of Military City™ beer sold not only celebrates the rich military history of this city but also provides crucial support to military families and veterans in need.”

Throughout 2025, one percent of Military City™ beer sales will be donated to Soldiers’ Angels. In 2024, a limited campaign raised more than $550 for the organization.

How You Can Support

San Antonio locals and visitors alike are encouraged to stop by Longtab Brewing (4700 Timco W Suite 105, San Antonio) or VFW Post 76 (10 10th St.) to enjoy a pint of Military City™ beer. Each purchase contributes directly to the impactful work Soldiers’ Angels is doing to support military communities.
