South Dakota Microbreweries

Where to Stay Near Black Hills & Badlands Breweries

The Black Hills & Badlands anchor South Dakota's western edge, where pine-covered mountains rise out of the plains near Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, and the eroded spires of Badlands National Park. Base yourself in Rapid City and you're within an easy drive of the Spearfish Canyon breweries, the historic Deadwood taprooms, and the mountain brewpubs around Hill City and Custer — the densest cluster of craft beer in the state.

This is peak-season country in summer, when the parks, the Needles Highway, and the Sturgis rally draw travelers from across the region, so reserve early for June through August. Cabins and lodges in the hills fill fastest; Rapid City's hotels give you the most rooms and the shortest drives to the widest range of taprooms.

Whether you pick a Rapid City hotel or a canyon cabin, you're never far from a trailhead, a scenic byway, and a brewery — the Black Hills reward travelers who want big landscapes wrapped around their beer trip.
