Considering current health policies and updates within the state of Texas, Treaty Oak Distilling (based in Dripping Springs in the Texas Hill Country) recently updated their ordering and shopping policies based on the COVID-19 pandemic. Making every effort to keep their community and customers safe, the distillery is working to support local healthcare workers and those in need over the course of this unprecedented time.

In that respect, effective May 1, 2020, any bottle of Treaty Oak Whiskey or Waterloo Gin which is purchased at participating Texas retailers will immediately trigger a $1 donation from Treaty Oak Distilling to Southern Smoke Foundation’s Emergency Relief Fund. The fund supports bar and restaurant staff who have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the hospitality and tourism industries have taken the brunt of the economic blows at the forefront of the health crisis, this program will run through July 31, 2020. At present, participating Texas retailers include Specs, Total Wine, and Twin Liquors.

In addition, community members in and around Dripping Springs have been purchasing meals (to date they total more than 160) from Treaty Oak Distilling for local hospital workers at Seton Main and St. David’s South. This is being facilitated through an option on the Treaty Oak Distilling’s online to-go food menu. The option remains live, for those interested in continuing the practice and support of the frontline workers in the pandemic, and those who wish to do so can select “Buy a Meal for a Local Healthcare Worker” from Alice’s Restaurant menu online. These meals are currently being delivered by the Treaty Oak team. Working toward facing each day’s new challenges together, Treaty Oak Distilling welcomes the opportunity to bring their community together in a number of sharing and caring ways.
