Sampling Brewer's Row in Sioux Falls
There's a lot to taste in a nine-block radius in downtown Sioux Falls.
It's not surprising that the downtown area of SoDak's biggest city has plenty of places to discover. But if you love the taste of a good beer, you're in luck. A nine-block radius of downtown features some of the tastiest brews you'll find in the Midwest and beyond.
Whether you're looking for a simple flight or an intense tasting session, Brewer's Row in Sioux Falls is the place to be.
Severance Brewing Company
701 N Phillips Ave.
NAME ORIGIN: The head brewer left his corporate job and started the brewery as his "severance package."
BEER: IPAs, ales, sours and more -- this place specializes in having something you'll want to taste.
ATMOSPHERE: Hip and chill
ONLY HERE: The "Pints for People" program lets people pay for a beer, write on a sticker who should get the beer, and stick it on the column to be claimed. It could be for a newlywed, someone with your name, or anyone that only likes the first four Metallica albums. You buy, you pick. Someone reaps the reward.
WoodGrain Brewing Co.
101 S Phillips Ave.
NAME ORIGIN: As they used old barn wood to make the brewery's furniture, they realized the name was right in front of them.
BEER: There will always be a wheat, IPA, and stout available year-round, but the rotating flavors bring their own magic, from Strawberry Palmer to Duct Tape Piñata.
ATMOSPHERE: Warm and comfortable
ONLY HERE: There's something soothing about putting your beer on wood that once was a barn.
Monks Ale House
420 E 8th St.
NAME ORIGIN: The name came from the original owner's love of Belgian beers.
BEER: Technically, no brewing happens here. But being South Dakota's first craft beer bar earns it a spot on this list as does a rotating collection of 50 (!!!) taps.
ATMOSPHERE: Super comfortable with food and pinball
ONLY HERE: The beer selection is stunning. It also shares a parking lot with Covert, so you can get a good deal of tasting done by just walking a few feet.
Remedy Brewing Company
401 E 8th St.
NAME ORIGIN: The owners joked that Sioux Falls needed a better beer scene. Mission accomplished.
BEER: 16 taps plus wine, cider, mead and NA beverages
ATMOSPHERE: Rustic and welcoming to thirsty folks, their families, and their dogs.
ONLY HERE: Enjoy the city's first pickleball pub, a live music venue, and a private dock-turned-patio complete with plants and games
