In particular, I was especially proud of the fact that, thanks to all of our precautions, we were able to make sure every single member of the Garrison Br others family was guaranteed a job. Thanks to some quick discussions and hard work from everyone, we were able to quickly close the distillery to guests, and hunker down to wait out the pandemic and focus on continuing to make good bourbon safely. When the pandemic first hit in full for ce and businesses were shutting down left and ri ght, we had the benefit of a team that was already used to adapting quickly. But slowly and surely, we’re making progress, and I’d like to take a moment to look back on what the COVID-19 pandemic meant for Garrison Brothers. ![]() They’re passing out vaccines right now, but with 2.7 million deaths and trillions of dollars of economic damage, whatever world we live in after things get back to normal won’t be the same as the one we left behind. ![]() Here we are, over a year later, with more and more cases every day. We had a few restaurants cancel their tastings and dinners, and then once the government order came through to shut everything down, I think we all saw just how world-changing this was going to be. Cases of COVID-19 exploded, and events were getting cancelled left and right. ![]() Then, right around March, it was like all plans were instantly dashed. We were going to have hundreds of tastings, dozens of events at the distillery, and we were kicking off our search for the best bartender around with this year’s Bourbon Takeover Of Texas. It’s no exaggeration to say we’re living in an entirely different world than we were this time last year.Īll of us at Garrison Brothers started off 2020 with big plans.
