Fall is the unofficial beginning of the bourbon-drinking season and, just in time, the Garrison Brothers' Bourbon Takeover of America is back in the Bay Area.

For the whole month of September, the Texas-based bourbon distiller is teaming up with bars and restaurants across the country to concoct limited-time dishes and drinks that incorporate Garrison Brothers' Small Batch and Honeydew bourbons.

In San Francisco and Oakland, bourbon lovers will be able to enjoy exclusive bourbon concoctions at participating spots including Rye, Cold Drinks Bar, The Treasury, The Beehive, The Sea Star, and more.

To get in on the action, download the Bourbon Takeover of America Passport app via the app store or Google Play, then start earning points toward Garrison Brothers swag with every bourbon creation you taste.
