Excellent brewery. The purveyor of the establishment is friendly, inviting, and most importantly, brews great beer.

The beertender was so nice both times we were in, and even gave us tips for what to do/see while in the area. We loved that our dog was welcome inside as well.

Cute little Brewery in a historic building. Both the Hop Calamity IPA and 5280 Pale were very good.

Great variety of beer styles. Bustling tap room. Very welcoming staff. Give them a try!

Tucked into an old mercantile, Dakota Shivers feels like stepping back in time—but better. The atmosphere? Beyond friendly. It’s like walking into a family gathering where everyone’s glad you showed up.

The beer? Some of the most flavorful we’ve ever had. Each sip felt like a labor of love, crafted with care and purpose. But it’s the people who make this place unforgettable—the patrons so welcoming, the kind of folks who pull you into a conversation like you’ve known them for years.

This isn’t just a brewery; it’s an experience. A moment where beer and community come together in the best way possible.

So friendly,. Great beer choices. Fun bartender ?

Good brews in a cozy space.

Update five years later: I've tried most of the breweries in the Hills and DSB is still the best cozy spot of them all.

We had the flight and we could not narrow it down to any to eliminate any on our hunt to crown the Best. Eclectic mix of tables chairs and bar stools. The folks looked like locals so even if they were tourists , we were all treated as if we were home for the night. Loved it.

Awesome little stop! Beer was terrific and the two behind the bar were like instant friends

My girlfriend and I visited this place recently after touring Deadwood and it was the perfect ending to our day. Our bartender was a delight and personable, she offered us samples and made sure what we ordered before we ordered was what we wanted. we stepped outside on the back patio to get some air and after about 5 minutes after there, a gentleman stopped by and said I think you guys left your car lights on(our dogs were in the car and we we kept the car running so they could stay cool and safe). That gentlemen happen to be the owner of the place and as we were getting ready to leave, I asked so do you make this beer here or else where and he said "I make it here, would you like a tour?" Sure! So, he proceeded to take my girlfriend and I on a tour and school us on how he does thing and brews his beer. He didn't have to do this, but he did. So cool. All we were looking for was a couple of cold beers and we got that...and a freaking brewery tour from the owner out of it. We will be back.
Thank you!

I will absolutely be back. Beers were all tasty and affordable. Try them all! They're all brewed right downstairs. The staff made us feel right at home. I wish this were my hometown haunt.
