Garrison Brothers Distillery, the first and oldest legal whiskey distillery in Texas, has teamed up with Tuff Shed, Inc. to design and build a custom "Backyard Bourbon Barn" at its Hye, Texas location. The partnership includes a national sweepstakes running through September 30, 2026, in which one winner will receive a fully finished bourbon barn delivered and installed at their home.
The 10-by-12-foot structure is based on Tuff Shed’s PRO Tall Ranch model. It features a clerestory roof, metal roofing, double doors with built-in transom windows, and a custom exterior paint scheme.
The interior was designed and built by the Garrison Brothers team to resemble a private Hill Country bourbon retreat. Finishes include barn wood siding, a six-foot bar, shelving, leather furniture, collectible memorabilia, and a custom LED sign.

READ THE STORY"We’re fond of saying that Tuff Shed buildings have a million uses," said Phil Worth, VP of marketing at Tuff Shed, Inc. "Customers send us their photos of how they’ve transformed their Tuff Shed into a home office, home gym, craft studio, rec room, reading nook… you name it. So to partner with another great, long-standing company like Garrison Brothers on The Backyard Bourbon Barn seems like a natural fit."
The barn is now on display at the distillery in Hye, Texas. Visitors can step inside the finished space during tours and special events from mid-May through the end of September.
Garrison Brothers plans to host activations and collaborations inside the barn throughout the summer, with details to be announced via social media.
