Summer Vibes

It’s Summer Time! It’s been a beautiful warm one at that! I just got myself a hair cut and boy oh boy do I look great! I’m even sassier than I was before! Now that it’s summer you should see the new stuff we’re getting in at Granny’s! They keep coming out with these Ready to Drink cocktails that are so tasty. Crown Royal has four flavors. Nutrl, vodka cocktail seltzers in Lemonade and mixed fruit flavors. Bulleit just came out with Manhattan and Old-Fashioned Cocktails that are really good! Lots of new summer brews as well! Lanesboro is just buzzing so if you haven’t been in town lately you need too. Take a trip down the Root River or on the bike trail! Oh, and of course stop in at Granny’s and see me! Petting me is always free! See you soon! Ruff Ruff!

Happy Father’s Day

Hey I’m back, it’s been a while since I wrote anything! Did you miss me? Ruff, Ruff! Father’s Day is this Sunday! Let me tell you about my dad! He’s just the best, he takes me for gator rides, lets me run around the farm and always shares his meals with me! Now, mom…… she isn’t quite so generous! She gives me treats but not much table food, she thinks I need to watch my boyish figure! Huh, that’s what she thinks!!😀 So, if you’re looking for a gift for dad, we have lots of ideas! We have a great selection of bourbon, whiskey, tequila, brandy and vodka. Our beer cave is stocked full of delicious craft beers and of course lots of domestic beer. Our humidor is filled with tasty treats as well! So that’s what we have going on at Granny’s! Oh, and don’t forget Art in the Park this Saturday from 10 to 5pm! Bring dad he’ll have a great time! Be sure to come on in and give me a hug! I’ll smile for you! Until next time, Ruff!

Busy May Days

May has been an exciting time at Granny’s!! We held our first Sippin’ with Granny’s event on Cinco de Mayo, May 5th! I was told it was a great Success! Mom served great food from Another Time Ice Cream, High Court Pub and Junipers, but since I’m such a beggar Mom wouldn’t let me come! Pout Pout! There was live music and lots of vendors sampling delicious beverages! I got to lick the floor the next day and even the leftovers were good! The event raised lots of money that will be donated to the Fillmore County Food Shelf! How sweet is that!!

Two days later on May 7th was our Golden Anniversary- 7 years of business! That’s how old I’ll be in July! A lot of good things happened seven years ago! SXSE Brewery and Sylvan Brewery were here tasting and Tessa from Revival House Massage was giving neck and head massages! How cool was that! I get my head rubbed daily so it was no big deal to me! 😏 Customers loved all the fun! My crazy mom and Olivia dressed up like the “Golden Girls”, get it.. Golden Anniversary! Duh!

And to top it all off, Olivia had her baby Emersyn Nicole on May 14th! She’s such a sweet little girl. I get to lick her face and she likes it!! Congratulations to Olivia and Matt!

We all at Granny’s want to wish you a Safe and Fun Memorial Weekend! Hats off to all our service people that have served and those who lost their lives in our honor! Thank you Thank you! Boy after all this stuff happening, I need to

Happy Easter

Hey, Spring is in the air here at Granny’s! The Easter Bunny will be hopping in soon and boy do I love to chase rabbits! They’re pretty quick but then so am I! 😅 My mom and her team have everything in stock you need to celebrate your holiday! We have over 300 varietals of wine to enjoy with your Easter Dinner or how about a Bloody Mary or Mimosa with your Easter Brunch, we carry premixed or all the ingredients to make your own. We have lots of flavors of champagne and prosecco for your mimosas-we even carry orange juice! I can’t wait for it to warm up-mud puddles are my favorite, but I hate baths! Come visit me and the rest of the crew at the Granny’s! I’ll be waiting with a tail wag!

Oakley’s Winter Blues (or not)

Does the Winter Blues got you down? Well, I have a great idea…stop by Granny’s for a pick me up! Ready to drink cocktails are all the rage now! Try the new Crown Coke or Crown Apple with Cranberry. Another option for Ready to drink is Zing Zang Bloody Mary, the vodka is already in it!! Not that I drink any of this stuff, but boy o’ boy you humans get excited about this stuff! Leine’s Summer Shandy is already on the shelf that certainly will bring some sunshine into your life! Also, a new craft beer from Minnesota just arrived: Fulton Moon Howler-it’s a Hazy IPA! YUM-again that’s what these humans say about this stuff! All of it really kind of bores me! On these cold winter days, I just like to curl up and take a nap! However, I do like it when it snows! I love to run, play, roll and sniff it! And remember if you love snow, don’t eat the yellow stuff! Don’t I make it pretty? 😅 I hope to see you soon at Granny’s! Be sure to give me a pat on the head or even better bring me a treat!! Until next time, Ruff Ruff!!

Happy New Year

Cheers to 2022! It’s going to be a great year! Did you make a New Year’s Resolution? I didn’t even though my mom thinks I need to lose a few pounds, but her homemade treats are sooo good! Granny’s has all kinds of choices for Lo-cal wine, beer and a large variety of seltzers along with Alcohol free wine, and non-alcoholic beer! Enjoying a cold beverage doesn’t have to be loaded with calories or alcohol! I’m going to try and cut back on my treats, but stay tuned to see how that goes!! By the way, the next time you visit make sure you join our rewards club and preferred customer club-you’ll be glad you did! You will receive extra discounts-my mom is all about giving back! Hope to see you soon, I’ll be waiting with a tail wag and bring me a treat!😏 Thank you! Ruff Ruff!
