Redwater Irish & Canyon cream Ale.

Good atmosphere. No food offed. But crossing parking lot has a farmer's market store.

Crow Peak Brewing is a great brewery in Spearfish SD. I went with the 11 Hour IPA. We always hit this place when we are in the neighborhood! Heather is awesome!

I was in the Black Hills area and was told it was worth the drive to Spearfish to check out Crow Peak BC. They were right! They do serve flights and have some simple fare such as pizza. I did order one of the pizzas, which was huge, and only cost $10. As for the beer, the Cream Ale was my favorite. I'd heard tales of the Pile O' Dirt Porter, but I wasn't overly impressed with it. I'm still giving five stars because the brewery is doing a great job, is in a great location, and had great customer service. I'm not going to take a star simply because I wasn't a fan of one of the beers. We've all got different tastes. If you're in the vicinity of Spearfish, do yourself a favor and stop by Crow Peak BC. You won't regret it!

Wide open, airy place.

I went here last weekend, October, and they had their "Octoberfest" going on. So I'm going to gather that this was as good as it gets. They had at least two bands playing (we left after the second band), and I was in heaven. Why? Here's what's scarce in the Black Hills: 1. Good folk music (not hillbilly folk, just cool accoustic). Heck, to be truthful, ANY good local music here is scarce. 2. Microbrewries--though that's slowly starting to change, thank goodness. 3. Attractive, single, educated people over 40. So when we walked in, saw cool people (a blend, my gathering, of 1. transplants from Colorado and 2. academic types from Black Hills State University), retro-punk, post-grunge, artsies and hippies, I about cried in happiness. Normally, redneck, hillbilly, yuppie or biker-types is what you find around Rapid City. I had the I.P.A, and it was very good. As for the crowd, I cannot attest what it's like on a normal Saturday night. But it did seem like many people knew each other, so maybe it's pretty fun when there's not a festival going on. Huge perk--no TV sets. No pool tables and darts and video lottery. Hence, this is a socialization place, NOT a sports bar, which is heaven since Rapid City just down the road has about 1,000 of those which all look 100% the same inside and out. Drawbacks: 1. While I love the big ceilings and curiously nautical overhead fans, seating is nix. It's got the Ireland-style, big open tables you can sit at, but you'll be elbow-to-elbow with some stranger. Not that, that's bad, but it's different. 2. With the three-story high ceiling, I wondered why they haven't put in a loft. It would be GREAT and a smart investment. A half-loft could be put up there with many small tables, and they could look down below at the big tables, creating much more space. 3. Even though this was an all-day long festival of bands, they had ONE bartender for the whole place and shockingly NO table service. A line, 14, people deep, lined up to get a beer at the bar. Not good. 4. Oddly, no ice or fountain drinks. So my non-alcohol drinking friend had to quickly drink her pop lest it get warm. 5. Apparently, no food. So it's got some nicks to buff out. But I'll be back. And this is because of the clientele. If you like the artistic side, the intellectual hang and want to talk, THIS is a people-bar.

I've been drinking it in cans for years, but finally made it to the tap room. It's even better straight from the tap.

I highly recommend the Dubbel"s Bathtub if you want a great dark beer with a smooth caramel finish.

Homemade wood fired pizza was awesome. Staff was friendly and helpful. Prices were reasonable…read more Would definitely go back the next time I am in Spearfish SD

Bonus Stop, not on the Hop Passport (yet?)…read more I'm going to have to start with agreeing with another reviewer on the credit card policy. We prefer to pay cash with small businesses to keep them from having to pay credit card fees (or us for that matter, if the fees are passed on to the consumer) but that seems to be unacceptable here. I completely understand having a card on file for keeping a tab open but it makes zero sense to require a card when someone wants to pay cash. We ordered a flight and wanted to pay cash but were told they needed a credit card regardless, just in case. Just in case what? I'm paying for my order before I get it. I would then be free to leave when I choose without additional work for staff or, well, me. Especially since there is indeed a credit card fee here, since we were told the cash price on closing out exactly what we initially ordered - "just let me pay and be done with it" (quoting the hubs). I'd seriously rethink that policy. On to the beer, there were a couple of stand outs, including our favorites the Dark Lager & Mouse Trap. As well as middle of the road brews, falling in the 3 range. We loved the collabs. It's always great to see businesses support each other. There are pizzas on the menu that looked pretty interesting but, circling back to point 1, we were annoyed enough by the credit card requirement that we opted for 1 & done, unfortunately. Note: there's some awesome merch &, I believe, meat for sale. Super cool.
