To observe Veterans Day and to honor those who have served, Garrison Brothers Distillery will partner with several neighboring businesses for ‘Red, White, and Bourbon,’ a day-long celebration on Saturday November 10. This collaborative event is aimed at raising funds for the Admiral Nimitz Foundation. Garrison Brothers’ own Mike Walsh will trumpet Reveille to kick off the event at 9:30a.m. and blow Taps at 5p.m. to conclude the event. Tickets are $20 for adults, $10 for kids ages 3 to 12, $10 for Admiral Nimitz Foundation members and $5 for veterans. (Garrison Brothers Distillery, 2018)

The event will take place at Garrison Brothers Distillery in Hye, Texas where guests will be able to enjoy craft beer from Family Business Beer Co., hamburgers from Fischer & Weiser, tacos from Tubby’s Ice House and a variety of red and white wines from William Chris Vineyards, Grape Creek Vineyards, Cicada Cellars and Hye Meadow Winery. 100% of sales from beer, wine, and food will go directly to the Admiral Nimitz Foundation. Habana Cowboy will also be on site with a mobile cigar lounge and Complete Culture Custom T-Shirts will debut an exclusive Red, White and Bourbon branded tee.

The Admiral Nimitz Foundation was established in 1971 as a 501(c)(3) and provides additional development funding for the National Museum of the Pacific War, a museum dedicated to telling the human story of WWII in the Pacific. Since 1971, the Foundation has built a well-established and respected institution, which annually welcomes more than 100,000 visitors, including 15,000 middle and high school students from across the state.

Distillery Director Jason Paul Brand (AKA Rev) will give tank tours of the ranch atop the Nimitz’s 76-year old M31A Stuart Tank for a $10 donation to the Admiral Nimitz Foundation and patrons can dip their own red, white and blue wax bottles at the gift shop. A portion of proceeds from the sale of each bottle will also be donated to the Admiral Nimitz Foundation. The museum will also have living history displays set up showcasing WWII weapons and equipment.

“The National Museum of the Pacific War is a Texas treasure. We’re incredibly fortunate to have such a distinguished neighbor in our sister city of Fredericksburg. We’re excited to partner with Family Business Beer Co. to present Red, White, and Bourbon. They share our passion for honoring and appreciating those who have served.” – Dan Garrison, founder of Garrison Brothers Distillery
