Fernson Downtown - Sioux Falls

First time at Fernson Downtown. I love their beer (Lions Paw Ears Up are my favorites). When I drink beer, I prefer to go with a local beer. I love their flights to give you a sample of other beers they are brewing. Seating inside and out. Patio outside has plenty of shade.

We camped at the KOA across from the main brewery and were so sad it wasn't open to the public, we'd have been regulars!! The downtown location is definitely worth the ride though, it's a very nice, comfortable and inviting space with great friendly service.We stopped in for some brew and snacks after doing some of the touristy things in town. We started with a flight to find that one unique brew like no other and a couple appetizers. The cheese curds are delicious! Nice light breading and all melty, stringy and gooey, just like I like them! The stuffed pretzel was totally unique and fun, didn't need any of the beer cheese dip, they were good all on their own!They're a brewery first and foremost and the brew is where it's at! The sours are sour, the lagers are light and the stout stands up to it's name! Our favorite was the Lemon Pie Milkshake, that stuff is so good!! We got a couple crowlers of that to go then headed on down the road for more touristy stuff!Definitely should be a stop on everybody's Sioux Falls adventures!

Good beer, good food, and good service. Bonus: the staff is super friendly and helpful. The cook even checked on us and chatted with us. They treated our kids like they were just as important as the adults.

This is our downtown go-to spot. Always great beer and food. They recently expanded their menu, which is phenomenal. Their patio is the perfect spring/summer spot.
