Things To Know About Touring Our Distillery.
Unfortunately, no, we can’t allow any beer or wine on the premises due to TABC regulations. However, you’re more than welcome to enjoy Garrison Brothers cocktails and neat pours at The Whiskey Shack.
Smoking is not permitted anywhere on the ranch. Way too dangerous! If you light up, we will physically escort you from the property. Not only is the Texas Hill Country prone to brush fires but our ranch barns and buildings contain thousands of gallons of flammable alcohol. It is just not worth the risk.
Kids are welcome on our property but we are a working ranch so we ask that you keep a close eye on them!
We are dog-friendly for friendly dogs, so as long as your pup is well-behaved and on a leash, they are more than welcome!
Tours are rain or shine!
Please don’t. We’d love to try your concoctions. But making distilled spirits at home is a felony. Bringing them to our place is highly illegal, since we’ve got a federal and state permit.
Tours typically last 1 to 2 hours. Remember, 68 acres is a lot of ground to cover. The tour length often depends on who is giving the tour and how much they have had to drink.
Tours are $10 per person, $20 on Saturdays, and free if you show up on a horse. Tastings are free for humans and horses.
Tours and merchandise are cash, check or credit cards.
Yes, contact us at distillery.events@garrisonbros.com. Let us know the date of the event and the number of guests we should anticipate.
Pictures are fine. Video pisses us off. Nothing more embarrassing than to be caught scratching yourself on YouTube.
If you don’t there may be something wrong with you.
Dadgum it no. We used to offer tours for large groups but we are short-staffed now, so we can’t do them. Hopefully, we will do so again in the future.
Some have called it that.
Yes, please watch your aim, and leave the seat down for the ladies.
Reservations are your best bet if you’re planning on a tour, but they’re not needed if you’d just like to sit and sip some bourbon in the sunshine. Come on by.
