I always drop by for their beer when I’m in the area. Fun space that is always packed, but offers a couple variations on their bottled line of beers. Being down the road from AleSmith is a huge bonus for those driving around SD on beer tours :)

Really chill taster/growler bar inside of an amazing homebrew shop. Lots of cool special BP beers and very friendly and knowledgeable service.

If I were rating only the beer, this score would be much higher. Their beer is REAL good for the most part. But this is a place rating so unless your a homebrewer their isn’t much reason to come to this location. This is pretty much a homebrew shop and tasting room. Nowhere to sit, only a few bar height tables to stand at. Growler refills is a plus. They teach homebrew classes here sometimes too which seems cool.

This is the best place I’ve ever been. Why? Its a homebrew shop... so they are willing to talk about the beer with a beer geek. As for the Beers... AMAZING AMAZING. So unique. They will tell you about what they are using, and give you ideas to take home. Tasting price is cheaper than their other location. The service was exceptional. I’m a beer geek, there were other beer geeks there, and they seemed to know us beer geeks can talk about the beer we are sipping and talk with us. I LOVE THIS PLACE. AND LOVE THERE BEER. To bad i’m 1000 miles away.

a great little place half homebrew half taphouse for the brewery. They had a ton of beers that are not bottled and are very limited in production. I was so glad to sample them. The service was fantastic and met some cool people in there. A definate must for fans of this brewery!

Ambiance: It’s mostly Homebrew mart with a small section for tasting. It’s weird because you are in this weird strip mall.

Service: Service is A-OK.

Selection: A wide variety of BP beers on tap.

Value: Fairly priced tasters and pints. Overall: I prefer their other location to this.

was my original home brew store before leaving in 1997. Store, taproom but some great brews on tap. The place has gone through an upgrade in the last 14 years and if you come to SD you should swing by and give the brews a try. They do a great job here.
