Bootleg Brewers – Sandhills Brewing Company

Bootleg Brewers beginnings were sprouted in 1978 with Ron Worm when his father-in-law, Charlie, who made homebrew, included him in a brew session.

Ingredients were difficult to come by then, so their beer was made from Blue Ribbon malt and bread yeast, both purchased at the local grocery store.

They affectionately called their beer Musketeer Beer. This beer had nothing to do with sword fights between men in blue tunics and tights but named Musketeer Beer because it was so musky it brought tears to their eyes. It was bad, but you had to drink it because it was your proudly made, first brews.
