List of breweries and wineries in South Dakota

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

South Dakota was one of 14 U.S. states that forbade small breweries from directly distributing beer products.[1] Small breweries were required to use a distributor under South Dakota law.[1][2] In 2018, South Dakota Law was changed to allow micro breweries to self-distribute.[3][4][2]
