Brookings offers a craft beer scene worth visiting. Eponymous Brewing Company and Wooden Legs Brewing Company both pour creativity, community and South Dakota pride into every pint.
At Eponymous, no two visits taste the same. Since opening, the staff has crafted more than 500 exclusive brews, always offering something new on the rotating taps. The team loves experimenting, creating candy sours made from melted-down sweets, and hazy IPAs bursting with tropical flavor. The welcoming, laid-back space buzzes with energy during weekly events like trivia and “songo” nights, a lively mix of music and bingo. Whether you’re a hop lover or a sour fan, there’s something bold and unexpected waiting on tap.
Wooden Legs Brewing Company feels like a hometown hangout where the walls hum with laughter and conversation. There’s always a reason to stop by. Tuesdays are Trivia Nights. Wall Street Wednesdays exchange the taproom for the trading floor. Other special events include open might *MIC* and comedy nights. Six hand-crafted on site and regional brews rotate through the 21 taps. The menu pairs perfectly, offering pizzas, sandwiches and shareable dishes like pretzel bites, making another round an easy choice.
Both breweries share a passion for great beer and genuine connections. Visitors can grab a flight, strike up a conversation or join an event where everyone feels welcome. Whether it’s a chill night with new friends or a spontaneous stop during a getaway, these breweries turn ordinary moments into memorable experiences.
