A short drive north of Manheim will reward you with quite a unique experience. Divine Swine seems like a cross between an old west saloon and a classic mid-western Bar-B-Que joint. There is great music playing in the background, microbrew beers on tap from across the street and a friendly staff.
First about the beer. That's why you are reading this, right? Not an over abundance of taps, but there is a beer to choose from most styles and even a cider on tap. There is also a wide range of bottled beers that are reasonably priced and includes the option for mix and match 6 packs to go at a great price. There is absolutely no complaints from The Retired Guys about the beer here.
What this place is known for and seems to bring in the regulars is the Bar-B-Que. Cierra, our server and the assistant manager, explained the commitment to always serving food that has been prepared fresh that day. Our selection of Chili Fries was very filling and had that great smoky taste that you only find in authentically smoked meats. Cierra pointed out that the meat is smoked every day starting at 2:00 AM. I wouldn't want to work that shift, but I will always enjoy the product of that dedicated craftsman.
Today was another great day of beer and food, but also getting to interact with the staff. The Retired Guys have come to enjoy talking with our servers almost as much as the beer. We had very good conversations today with Cierra and the manager Ronnie, the food is worth going back for and the beer is another example of local craft beers that make you forget about the huge mega brewers.
Until next time, CHEERS!
