Not a lot of items to list today, took a longer ride around the Black Hills, up to visit Devils Tower, and back through the middle of the hills through Deadwood on the long windy road (excellent ride). Had dinner at another place that had their own beer made just for them from somewhere in Montana (that's all the info we could get out of the server). The Buglin' Bull Restaurant and Sports Bar had I think 4 of their own label beers, we tried the Elk Poop Stout, and the Armstrong Ale (as in George Armstrong Custer, Custer being the town we're in). Overall, the food was good, the beer was meh, average at best.

| Devils Tower from the visitor center. You probably can't pick them out in this picture, but there were at least 4 climbers visible climbing the tower when we were there. |

Funny you mention an establishment that has their very own beer made by somebody else "just for them". There is a local bar (they call themselves an "Irish Pub") that did the very same thing. They serve Iron Horse Brewing "509 Pale Ale", and call it "Tymmy O'Sheas Irish Ale". I was dumbfounded when they told me this. I mean it's akin to going out and getting a bottle of Bud, changing the label and calling it Tymmy O'Sheas Irish Ale. Pathetic. Coincidentally their Irish Pub status is about as authentic as eating Tacos at Jack n The Box and saying you ate at a Mexican Restuarant. Again... pathetic.
