"Tap er' Light" - Part 1: Granite Mountain Mine Disaster

Happy New Year Bar Flies!!! We're sorry for being a week late but we promise that it was well worth the wait! This week Abba brought us something a little different from our usual bar stories and man is it a DOOZY! The Granite Mountain Mine Disaster of 1917 is the worst hard rock mine disaster in US History and man is there a lot to it! Pull up your stools, have yourself a Coal Miner's Daughter cocktail and get comfortable for this two parter! Unfortunetaly, as you guys know our lives are very chaotic so for this two parter you're going to have to wait for next week for Part 2. This week we have our first specialty cocktail to pair with the episode so if you're feeling a little frisky give it a try and let us know what you think! As always you can contact us on Instagram @themontanasaloonpod or shoot us an email at [email protected].
