When you signed up for this newsletter, I promised I’d send it just twice a year to keep from cluttering your in-box. Well, I lied. Here’s why: Yesterday, a 10-page story about Garrison Brothers Distillery broke in Southwest Airlines in-flight magazine, Spirit. When senior editor Alison Miller originally approached us about it, we knew it […]
Texas Bourbon News, Fall 2012
It is my great honor to report that Garrison Brothers Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey is now, finally, distributed and available throughout the great state of Texas! But before I tell you about this new vintage and where you can get a bottle, I have something else I want to get off my chest. A Word […]
Bourbon Tasting for the Town Lake Trail
When I am not wearing boots in Hye, you can often find me wearing running shoes at The Trail at Lady Bird Lake. In fact, with help from some special friends, I founded the Town Lake Trail Foundation back in 2002. Today, the organization is called The Trail Foundation and the Trail is now the Ann and Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trail. Whatever […]

Here’s where I’m headed in the next few weeks. I hope you’ll stop by and say […]

Cinch Up Your Saddle. Time to Ride. In two weeks, on Texas Independence Day (that’s March 2nd for the foreign readers), we’ll be introducing the Spring 2012 Release of Garrison Brothers Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey. I think it’s our best bourbon yet. But more on the bourbon later, I want to talk about family. […]
JUST IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS!
On Friday, the wise and hilarious Federal Judge Sam Sparks ruled in favor of Jester King Brewery, Authentic Beverage and Zax Pints and Plates in their lawsuit against the TABC. As a result, it is now legal for Garrison Brothers Distillery to actually inform bourbon drinkers which stores are selling our bourbon. Seems a little ridiculous that […]
