National Beer Day is celebrated by South Dakota breweries

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

National Beer Day is this Friday. (Or, if you’re like us, it’s more or less every day.) To celebrate, our brewmaster friends in South Dakota are cooking up some special brews for the best day on the calendar.

Check out some of these offerings from the Mount Rushmore State:

Lost Cabin Beer Co. in Rapid City is now unveiling its Saison de Roubaix, which is fermented with ginger, rhubarb and locally sourced French Saison yeast.

Firehouse Brewing Company, also of Rapid City, was South Dakota’s first brew pub. This National Beer Day, sojourners to the state’s second-largest city can enjoy the Bogus Jim Spruce, which contains actual spruce tips from the nearby Black Hills in lieu of hops.

In Spearfish, South Dakota, Crow Peak Brewery is joining up with Leones’ Creamery to create a new ice cream infused with Crow Peak’s Pile O’ Dirty Porter. (We’re sure it’s better than it sounds.)
