Stop by this historic Northern Pacific train depot in Bismarck, North Dakota and check out Edwinton Brewing Company. It officially opened in the summer of 2018 and has already become a highly rated, popular spot.
Though they preserved the historic look of the outside of the 119-year-old building, the inside has been renovated into a microbrewery and restaurant. You can take a peek into their brewing room for yourself and see the process at work before trying some of the beer.
They make quite a few delicious craft beers that are on tap. Many of them are named and themed after the railroad and Bismarck's history. In fact, the name Edwinton itself comes from the city's story, because that was its original name before being renamed to Bismarck.
Along with its strong sense of local history and great brews, this place also has fantastic food. Get a massive "Mega Pretzel" with your drink to start and you'll quickly fall in love.
Absolutely scrumptious flatbreads like the Teddy, shown below, are also available. Finish it off with a dessert of cake shake - which is exactly as it sounds, cake in a shake - and you'll be full and happy.
There's so much more on the drink and food menus that we can't possibly list it all, so you'll have to check it out for yourself - and you won't regret it.
Edwinton Brewing Company is open from Mondays to Thursdays from 10:00 AM to 11:00 PM, and until 1:00 AM on Fridays and Saturdays. Click here to visit their website for a full menu and more information about their brews.
Address: 403 East Main Avenue, Bismarck, ND, 58501
