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.

Years and years of hard work … gone in a swirl of road dirt and the sweet smell of gun smoke.

If you weren’t able to get your hands on a bottle, don’t panic; I’m told almost all the bars and restaurants in the Fredericksburg area bought plenty and are serving Garrison Brothers Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey.

Thanks for your support, Texas. We appreciate it.

We’ll go make some more.
