Summer is all about fun-filled adventures with friends and Sledge Distillery is the perfect place to spend a hot summer day. Sledge is in the Tolar/Granbury area, off the beaten path, but worth the drive. It's a huge property, with a tasting room, a cantina and a speakeasy!
The tasting was extensive. Sledge makes a variety of moonshines, bourbon, gin and a coconut rum. We tried them all while getting a history of this family business from our friend Everett. After our tasting, we hung out for a few hours listening to live music and trying some of their signature cocktails.
Before heading home, we decided to stop at Grump's in Granbury for dinner. It's a hole in the wall so burgers are basic, but incredibly good. Order at the counter and grab some peanuts while you wait for your order. Grump's has a lot of yummy sides to choose from - I can highly recommend both the onion rings and the fried pickles. The only downside to the burger is shredded lettuce. Other than that, it's a great burger that hits the spot!
Bonus . . . . the fountain drinks are from Dublin. And if you need something sweet afterwards, they've got Blue Bell. It's a little piece of heaven.
