Garrison Brothers Distillery and Milam & Greene Whiskey are among the Texas craft spirits producers that are stepping up to raise funds for those impacted by the devastating floods in the state’s Hill Country.
Garrison Brothers Distillery in Hye, Texas, has turned its Saturday, July 12 launch event for the release of the 2025 edition of Guadalupe cask-strength bourbon into a fundraiser for flood relief.
“It appears everyone in Texas—and even beyond our borders—has been affected in some way by the recent flooding in the Texas Hill Country. At Garrison Brothers, we have received dozens of offers of assistance from great people,” the distillery says. “Thank you. Since July 4, we have been developing a plan to help the first responders, businesses, and families who have been affected. Here is our plan. If you can help, we’d welcome the assistance.”
Good Bourbon for a Good Cause will collect funds and donations by selling special bottles of Cask Strength Guadalupe Bourbon at the distillery on Saturday, June 12 starting at 8 a.m. Every bottle purchased equates to a $50 donation to the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund operated by the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country. Garrison Brothers Distillery will match the first $10,000 that is donated.

Additionally, Garrison Brothers will donate 100% of the profit raised that day from sales of food and drinks at the WhiskeyShack and the Gift Shop. The distillery’s owners and team will be there asking for donations and will have collection buckets in hand.
