Celebrate Australia Day at Bakalian Family Distilling
If you’re looking for something a little different to do in Bryan, Texas, Bakalian Family Distilling is throwing an Australia Day celebration on Saturday, January 24, 2026, and it sounds like a proper good time. From 12–4 PM, the distillery will be leaning into all things Aussie — complete with real-life Australians, themed games, and Australian-inspired food, all in a relaxed, family-friendly setting.
The event takes place at Bakalian Family Distilling on Wheelock Hall Road, and while the Australia Day festivities run midday, the distillery itself will be open from 10 AM to 8 PM, so you can make a full day of it. Whether you’re stopping by for the celebration or just looking for a laid-back distillery hang with something extra going on, this one fits the bill nicely.

And while you’re there, take a quick look at the Texas Whiskey Geek merch shop — every purchase helps keep the site ad-free and focused on supporting Texas distilleries and events.
Relaxed, broken-in, and easy to wear, it’s the kind of hat you’ll reach for on distillery days, bottle shop runs, and backyard pours alike.
Because real whiskey knowledge doesn’t need a billboard.
