Hye Hopes – A History Of The Hye Preservation Society
When I first purchased the plot of land that would become Garrison Brothers Distillery in 2004, the distillery’s new home of Hye, Texas was a far cry from the close-knit community you might typically expect from a small Texas town. Sure everyone would lift a hand, a hat, or a finger and wave it as […]

Cocktails To-Go
Friends, Many of our business partners at bars, restaurants, and hotels are struggling to survive. Times are tough for them, and for us.

Rest in Peace, Dave
Rest In Peace Dave! You were a respected historian, author, distiller, and friend. You are probably the most influential reason that there are now thousands of small distilleries like mine in America today. I will raise a glass to you tonight and fondly reminisce our nights drinking good bourbon by the fire-pit as […]
Red White and Bourbon
Son of a Son of a Sailor I did not attend a military academy and did not serve our country. I wanted to though, and I considered applying to the Naval Academy for admission during my junior year of high school. Both my dad and my grandfather had attended the Academy and served in the […]
