Generous Pours
Celebrate 250 years of the American Spirit with Garrison Brothers. Join us in a toast to freedom and a tribute to all American heroes.

Raise Your Glass to America's Everyday Heroes

In 2026, our country celebrates 250 years of grit, courage, and the indomitable American spirit. At Garrison Brothers, we’re honoring that milestone the best way we know how—by raising a glass to the heroes who keep our communities strong each and every day.

From January 15th through March 31, 2026, we collected nominations for community heroes who embody service, sacrifice, and heart. Thanks to the incredible participation of our fans and community, we collected over 80 community hero nominations.

Thank You for Helping Us Honor America’s Everyday Heroes

Voting for this year’s Generous Pours heroes has officially closed. While voting has closed, their stories remain. Thanks to you, our community came together to recognize individuals who embody service, sacrifice, and the American spirit. Our team is conducting a final review of this year’s leading nominees to ensure each story reflects the spirit and integrity of the Generous Pours mission. Ten heroes will be selected as this year’s winners and will be notified via email on May 1, 2026.

Whey We're Doing This

Garrison Brothers has always believed that bourbon is best when it brings people together—and there’s no better time than America’s 250th birthday to honor those who embody the values that built this nation. But honoring heroes means more than storytelling. It also means supporting those who serve.

We encourage all fans, supporters, and friends of the distillery to donate directly to Boot Campaign, an organization dedicated to improving the lives of veterans and military families.
