Things to do in North Dakota, United States: The Best Breweries

December 10, 2021 Carley Gatson

If you’ve never thought much about North Dakota, maybe it’s time you started. Boasting miles and miles of hiking trails, including the Lewis and Clark trail, in addition to multiple museums, golf courses, casinos and amusement parks, North Dakota is bursting with things to do. Situated smack between the Great Lakes and the Pacific Ocean, North Dakota was once called “America’s Most Affordable Vacation Site” by the American Automobile Association. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark are two of North Dakota’s most famous residents. Tracing the courses of the Missouri and Columbia and rivers, the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail stretches through 11 states. Thanks to their explorations, visitors to North Dakota with an interest in history can do some exploring of their own. Bismarck is not only the capital of the state, it’s also home to several Lewis and Clark historical sites including Fort Yates, where the pair stopped to trade with the Mandan Indians. For family fun in Bismarck, don’t miss the Dakota Zoo and Raging Rivers Waterpark. With more golf courses per capita than any other state (11 in Bismarck and Fargo alone), golf lovers are sure to find a course to their liking. Agri-tourism is also a popular activity in North Dakota, which ranks first in the production of spring wheat, durum wheat, sunflowers, barley, honey and other crops.

Bismarck Brewing

We are a craft brewery in north Bismarck that handcrafts interesting ales and lagers. We have a taproom in the loft area of the building we share with the restaurant Ale Works. We don't have any TVs, because we want to create an environment for discussion and togetherness. We have a selection of board and card games available to use though! Food is available through the restaurant as well. Cheers!

Drumconrath Brewing Company

Downtown Fargo’s newest brewery!

Reviewed By GavinGoesPlaces - New York City, United States

Very happy to have stopped by this brewery while in town. This is probably my favorite of the ones in the immediate Fargo area - at least downtown that is (along with Icewind out in Mapleton, which is worth the drive). Very nice of this brewery to offer flights and short pours to sample many of their brews. They also have awesome popcorn. Yum. Friendly staff - and depending on when you go - great events such as the mini fleamarket.

This place has a lot of good beer (personally my favorites were their sours), and their barbeque is amazing. We stopped through quickly and tried a few flights with some burnt ends, and thoroughly enjoyed both. (Definitely get the burnt ends - they were the best I've had.) The dog friendly patio was a big plus, too, especially with the great overhead heater. Would go back!

Drekker Brewing Company

Drekker Brewing is a brewery and taproom located in one of Fargo's oldest buildings - a restored railroad shop built in 1883, before North Dakota was a part of the United States. Drekker Brewing Company specializes in unique and adventurous small batch beers but has something on tap for everyone.

Reviewed By toddabraun - Fargo, United States

Great place for a beer and socializing a little away from the crowd downtown. Went for a work get together and reserved the upper platform for our group. It provided an excellent view of the whole building and the service was timely and friendly. The interior looks fantastic with refinished beams, beautiful windows and a cool poured concrete bar top. They have a good selection of beers as well as sours and I'm told there is usually a food truck outside (there was one when we were there, but we had pizza delivered by Rhombus Guys instead). Definitely worth a stop - for both the beer and the great atmosphere! If this review and pictures were helpful, please click on 'Like' to improve my profile.
