Stephanie Houston

Ruminate Distilling

As president and cofounder of Ruminate Distilling, Stephanie Houston is an advocate for businesses and manufacturers who are fighting to stay afloat during uncertain times. She is working for legislative change in Texas; her goal is to take her brand national while using the business as a vehicle to bring positive change and hope to the industry.

Ruminate’s distillery is located in Hye, Texas, on the 290 Wine Road and is home to two brands: HYE Rum & Island Getaway Rum. Stephanie’s previous experience with start-ups as well as chief marketing officer and cofounder of a national staffing company has been instrumental in launching brand awareness and in the strategic planning for HYE Rum as it grows.

When the pandemic hit, HYE Rum pivoted, manufacturing 28 tons of hand sanitizer which were donated to first responders. With tasting rooms still closed through the summer, HYE Rum has been hosting drive-in music and movie festivals at the distillery and welcomes Austinites to make the drive to just east of Fredericksburg to experience HYE Rum for yourself or pickup a bottle at one of their local distributors.
