🍷 Oakley’s Picks of the Month 🍷

This month, my nose has been busy sniffing out the finest selections just for you! And trust me, my nose never fails. Here are some of my top picks this April:

Pinot Grigio – For Mrs. Peterson’s Easter dinner or anyone who loves a light, crisp wine with a side of sunshine.

Oakley’s Old-Fashioned Bourbon – Our best-selling bourbon for those cool April nights by the fire. I highly approve (I may or may not have sniffed a few bottles myself).

Craft Beer Selection – Whether you’re grilling or watching the game, I got your beer game covered. I’m especially fond of the local pale ales and IPAs.

Mark your calendars! Get Squirrelly with Surly: April 25th & 26th.

See you soon at Granny’s!

Woof Woof,

Hello, hoomans! It’s the first day of spring, and I’m feeling like a new dog (which means I’m eating grass and chasing my tail with extra enthusiasm). But today, I’m here to tackle something that’s near and dear to my nose—that glorious liquid concoction you two-legged creatures keep talking about: liquor.

Now, before anyone starts calling the pet police on me, let me just clarify: I do not drink liquor. I mean, I’ve tried it. I once got a whiff of what you call “whiskey” after it spilled on the floor. Let me tell you, it was an experience. The burn in my nose was awful, I thought I might start barking in a language only squirrels could understand.  Today, I’m not talking about consuming it, I just wanted to share a new drink my mom came up with. She mixed Shanky’s Whip and Rumchata together. A “Whipped Chata” I had the opportunity to smell it, and my oh my if you like Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal you will absolutely love this. It was delicious. So there you have it friends, a new drink to toast in the season of Spring! Cheers to my fellow party animals. Until next time. Oakley 🐾🐾

Hey there, hoomans! I’ve been observing something super interesting this month. You see, for all of January, I noticed my humans doing something that left me a little confused at first – they were talking about Dry January. At first, I thought it was just some sort of weird human tradition. No treats? No snacks? What’s going on here?

But now, it’s February, and I’ve noticed something wonderful… they’re finally cracking open those bottles again. And do you know what that means for me? Treats for ALL! 🙌It was like the humans were pretending to be all serious, and I couldn’t understand why they were avoiding something that clearly made them happier. I mean, have you ever seen how much they smile when they sip on a drink? It’s like the equivalent of when I get to chase a ball or take a nap in a sunbeam. Pure joy.

So, humans, here’s my take: celebrate all you want! I’ll gladly be your designated “snack taster” and join in the fun. Maybe a few more belly rubs, a couple of extra treats, and who knows – I might even let you throw the ball farther just because I’m in such a good mood.

Happy February! Ruff Ruff!

Hey my fur-tastic friends! It’s Christmas time and at Granny’s Liquor we have something for that special someone. Whether your human enjoys a glass of whiskey, a sparkling drink, or just loves the scent of gin in the air, there’s a gift out there to make their Christmas merry and bright. And let’s not forget, the most important part of Christmas is spending time with those you love – including your favorite pup, of course. While they sip on their festive beverages, you can snuggle by the fire, dream of treats, and enjoy the best part of the holidays: being together.

Happy holidays, and may your Christmas be filled with joy, good drinks, and lots of belly rubs!

Thanksgiving isn’t just a day to be thankful; it’s a reminder to carry that attitude of gratitude throughout the year. The practice of focusing on what we have—our health, our loved ones, our homes, and even the small joys we encounter every day—can lead to greater happiness and fulfillment. Whether it’s lending a helping hand, listening to a friend, or simply expressing appreciation, small acts of kindness can have a big impact. I know how thankful I am to having the human parents I do and receive all the love from everyone that patronizes Granny’s.

Take a breath this holiday season and reflect on all the great things in your life.

Granny’s is closed on Thanksgiving. We will re-open on Friday and don’t forget about Small Business Saturday. Support all the amazing small businesses in the area. My parents and others will be rolling lefse from 12 to 3pm. Michelle from Johnson Brothers will be tasting at that time as well. Lots of activities are happening around town and be sure to take in the Legion Lights in Sylvan Park. It’s Magical!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Love Oakley🐾🐾
