The brewery will be working with local distributors, Eagle Sales in Chamberlain and Eagle Sales of the Black Hills, Inc., to bring its beers to the region. Initially, fans will find brands such as Mirror Pond Pale Ale, Black Butte Porter, Inversion IPA and Red Chair Northwest Pale Ale, recently voted the World’s Best Beer at the 2012 World Beer Awards.

Tom Hellard, president of Eagle Sales of the Black Hills, said, “We are looking forward to a successful partnership with Deschutes as we bring its beers to even more people in South Dakota. Our respective companies have a similar philosophy of bringing high quality, consistent products to customers, so working together is a natural fit.”

The company’s mission is to be the “go to” for the beer lovers of western South Dakota. The company’s entire staff is First Level Cicerone Certified to assist customers in the areas of beer storage, styles, tastings, brewing processes and pairing with food.
