Southern Star Brewery
Location: Conroe, Texas
Southern Star Brewery was the first craft brewery in the state to offer canned beer, according to their website. Their production has been so successful since they started in 2007, they are breaking ground on a brand new facility expected to open late 2015.
Garrison Brothers Distillery
Location: Hye, Texas
Garrison Brothers Distillery was the first legal whiskey distillery in Texas; it was the first, new bourbon distillery built in America after the Prohibition. These bold and proud brothers are not only loved by their regular drinkers but also by whiskey experts: The 2014 Whisky Bible named the distillery’s Cowboy Bourbon the “American Micro Whisky of the Year.”
This combination of bourbon and beer will be served with a four-course meal prepared by Bird Café's Chef David McMillian. For $90 per person, including tax and gratuity, experience the greats in each of their field all in one meal. Reservations are required.
Make your reservation and you may run into Omar Viengar, the master brewer of Southern Star, or Dan Garrison, the owner and distiller of Garrison Brothers, while you are enjoying their creations.
Bird Café is located at 155 E. 4th and Commerce with complimentary valet parking available on Commerce between 3rd and 4th. For more information, go to Bird Café's website or call 817-332-2473. Cheers!
