The big, industrial  beer, wine and liquor companies spend millions annually responsibly encouraging “moderation.”  Apparently, in Texas, the word ain’t getting out!

On Wednesday, November 3, 2010 — three days before opening day of deer season — liquor stores in the Texas Hill Country received hundreds of cases of the 2008 Vintage of Garrison Brothers Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Ten days later, every bottle had been sold. Yeah, liquor stores are all sold out, again.

Thanks for your support, Texas. We appreciate it.

We’ll go make some more.
