Fernson Downtown

"Great brewery, I had the Lions Paw which was smooth and refreshing. The guys who were working there were so friendly, pleasant and very happy to tell us great places to visit, not just in Sioux Falls but elsewhere in SD. I feel customer service makes it or breaks it for me and they were top notch. They also were very knowledgeable about the beer and helping us to decide which one we would enjoy the best. Again, beer was great."

"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!"

"Husband wanted to check it out so I ordered the Wagoo burger with gf bun and he order the Texas Smash burger. Guys, the burgers were good but the star of our meal was the fries.... When I tell you they were glorious, I truly mean it. They were crispy and the kind of crispy you only hear about on food network shows or some nonsense. They didn't need the ketchup but it added just what I needed for the extra zing. Also, leave it to us to go to a place known for it's beer and order a root beer. Guys, they don't even have non-alcoholic drinks on the menu. But, burgers were great. GF bun was on point and very soft. But those fries...."

"Spent the evening in one of their outdoor globes. Our globe was set up for 8, but we were perfectly comfortable with only six and thought eight would be"super cozy". The globe was set up nicely with a heater, Bluetooth speaker to connect your phone too, lights and little tables set about. The hour and half time slot sped by, but we continued our evening inside. Overall, pretty cool for a small group, and I think it would be really fun if it was snowing!"
