Garrison Brothers Distillery plans to celebrate Texas Independence Day with The Bourbon Takeover of Texas – a five-day culinary event leading up to March 2 (Texas Independence Day); The Garrison Brothers Bourbon Brawl – a statewide bartender contest; and Liberations & Libations – an authentically Texan day party at the InterContinental Stephen F. Austin Hotel.

 

The Bourbon Takeover of Texas, is now in it’s second year and has already become an annual tradition for the Garrison Brothers team.  The event consists of five days of more than 50 Texas bars and restaurants across the state featuring culinary and mixological specials that include Garrison Brothers’ Small Batch Bourbon. These limited-time offerings will be available at select establishments in Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio from Sunday, February 24 through Saturday, March 2.

 

Participating Austin restaurants and cocktail bars include: Better Half, Central Standard, Fairmont, Fixe Southern House, Here Nor There, Hyatt Regency, JW Marriott, The Eleanor, Sonesta Bee Caves and The Switch.

 

Guests are encouraged to come right at 7:30 a.m. to get a prime spot for the annual Texas Independence Day parade, scheduled to make its way up Congress Avenue at 9:30 a.m.  There will be a brief recess from noon until 3.p.m. and will kick off again with a happy hour from 3 to 6 p.m.  Afternoon attractions include passed bourbon-infused bites by Chef Bryan Gibson, a roaming “redneck mariachi” duo, and a silent auction benefiting the Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation.  There will also be a live auction will also be held at 5 p.m.for an entire barrel of the award-winning Garrison Brothers Single Barrel Bourbon.
