SD Thursday Night Brewery Meets: Tiny Giant Taproom 3/27

Thunderhawk sounds great! It's right by our barn! Been there couple of times last fall and they have good beer. Unless they have a food truck coming they didn't have food the last 2 times I went.

 

Moving time for Madisons parents, driving out to AZ. Hopefully there will be time to explore a bit while we're out there, but chances are slim haha

 

Good luck. Hope you get some exploring in...

 

Won't need one. It's the lowers, and they just come out in one piece

Thanks though!

 

Thunderhawk A? Never heard of it but might as well add it to the long list of breweries to try out and knock off the list. I'll probably go there around 5 and I'll even bring the yaco so it'll be hard to miss.

We should do a taco Tuesday one of these days with our tacos

 

Helix Brewing company. @Tombiology70 turned madison and I onto it. All you can eat tacos for $10 and $4 pints. Not sure if it's every Tuesday or not but damn we're those tacos good. I had 7.5 and hated myself when I left

 

That was probably a food truck. Go find the sushi bus and you will eat wayyy too much from them too (if you like sushi of course).

 

Well then he sets up his tent and tables in the bar patio area multiple tuesdays. I'm not sure if it's every Tuesday but Tom might know.


Edit: confirmed it's every Tuesday

 

Beer is good- Tacos are damned good- parking is limited

 

Yeah some breweries request food trucks for certain days, so when they're getting a lot of customers in the brewery they'll stick around but when things slow down they move on. You should see what company that is and go to their website to see where and when they do more business.

 

You know what's funny.. I've seen (more than once) the beer tours bus stop at my old job and people were shit faced by the time they made it to us and we were only the 3rd stop out of 7 breweries.

 

Recently bought a used Tacoma, looking to check out some of your rides.... What time you guys get together?

 

Hello Mark
We usually get to the breweries around 6:30-7ish. Some show up earlier, some later.

 

Right on. I'll try to swing by then. Thanks!

 

We mostly stay inside and drink beer haha.
