South Dakota’s Only Farm Brewery Is Unexpectedly Awesome

South Dakota is known far and wide for its iconic national landmarks and history, but not too many people think of the Mount Rushmore State when it comes to local brews. This is unfortunate, as South Dakota boasts a number of stellar breweries throughout the state, including this farm brewery that is unexpectedly awesome:

Tucked away in Valley Springs is the delicious Anderson Hop Farm and Homestead Brew; a "locally owned family hop farm built on the same land our grandfather built his homestead over 100 years ago."

Opened in 2012, Anderson Hop Farm is a locally-owned family hop farm that supplies quality hops to home brewers and other SoDak breweries, including...

...their on-site Homestead Brew!

Also opened in 2012, A Homestead Brew offers a unique "field to glass experience," thanks to an assortment of flavors like Farmhouse Mango...

...Tangerine...

...and good, old-fashioned porters, ales, and lagers.

As if the beer itself was not reason enough to visit, Anderson Hop Farm and A Homestead Brew also offer a number of special events and farm tours, making for an even more unforgettable experience!

Anderson Hop Farm and A Homestead Brew are located at 26685 486th Ave in Valley Springs and is open Fridays from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturdays from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m.
