#42 An Afternoon in Granbury

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.
