May 3 - Grand Opening!
A Truly Grand Opening
The Grand Opening, Saturday, May 3rd, was, well if you were there you know: it rocked with the socks fully off, as they say. We are still scraping the floor behind the bar as speed cocktails were the order of the day. Hundreds of happy hooligans flowed through our doors to witness the spectacle. It was big time fun and the tasty Gin, Vodka, Rum and Whikey overflowedeth (Shakepeare, drink your heart out).
The band, newly christened the ‘Jug Suckers’, played everything from old timers like “Red River Valley” to their originals and new rock-folk favs. We may have a house band on our hands.
You had to be there, but if you weren’t, you can stop in from Thursday through Saturday, Noon to Six, or call for an appointment to start your own legendary party. See you here.
My wife, Patty, and I stopped at the Thumb Butte Distillery for the first time yesterday (9/5). What a neat place this is! Linda greeted us when we walked in and invited us to belly up to the bar where another couple was enjoying some of the fine offerings.
I was the designated driver so couldn’t sample anything, but Patty tried a flight of the bourbons and said they were all excellent. We bought a bottle of the Bloody Basin bourbon and I have to say that it’s some of the finest, smoothest bourbon I’ve had the pleasure of tasting. Very well done, indeed!
Another couple came in and all of us ended up having some great conversations. The atmosphere is laid back and casual, but the bourbons are 5 star all the way!
I wish the owners of Thumb Butte the best of luck in this venture and I can pretty much assure them that with the high quality product they produce, they will be extremely successful and will be around for a long time! My wife and I will definitely be returning.
Well done!
