Crow Peak Brewery
In part three, we meet a Spearfish man who is taking over the country one brew at a time. According to the most recent Food and Wine magazine, serves the best pint of beer in the state. It's bottoms up at the Crow Peak Brewery in Spearfish, hundreds of cans being filled with their hoppy goodness. At least once a week, the team assembles inside this room to can. In just one hour, they can fill 70 cases of beer, that's nearly 17-hundred cans, and the cases don't sit for long. Produced by Megan Palera for Black Hills FOX News 2011.

Spearfish Brewing - SERF Loan Case Study
Spearfish Brewing Company opened for business in February of 2018 and the community reception has been tremendous. General Manager Jon Marek says the community vibe made Spearfish a natural choice to locate he business.
Jon (6:06) You could tell that everyone was really dedicated to growing and building the business here in Spearfish - especially this downtown area feels really vibrant.
Nathan Venner is co-owner and brew master. This operation was a dream come true for him. With more than a decade in the brewing business this was the first time he had an opportunity to design a brewery from the ground-up, exactly the way he felt it should be.
Nathan (2:34) I wanted to design something with a lot of efficiency, with modern equipment, with a lot of quality assurances built in.
Spearfish Economic Development played a role in helping make those designs a reality with a $100,000 Spearfish Economic Revolving Fund - or SERF - loan. SERF loans are low interest loans with funds originating from the City of Spearfish. The application process is facilitated by Spearfish Economic Development who review applications and make final recommendations for approval to the city council.
In the case of Spearfish Brewing Company, the funds were used to put in the 18-handle draft system with the majority of the funds being used to purchase state-of-the-art equipment in the brew house.
Jon (10:06) Two of the pieces of equipment I'm most excited about are in the brew house. We have a wonderful, kind of opulent water filtration system. We also have these really cool 20-barrel horizontal laagering tanks. Really unique for a ten-barrel brew house.
Nathan (13:43) These horizontal laagering tanks is something you're not going to see in this region. You might have to go as far as Denver to see a couple of breweries with horizontal tanks. // Our lager production is one of the things that makes us unique. We have the ability to constantly have lagers on tap and 10 or 12 ales as well.
SERF loans are designed to help new businesses get started in Spearfish - or to help existing local businesses expand. SEDC Executive Director Kory Menken says Spearfish Brewing was the perfect candidate for a SERF loan - criteria being a business that produces a product or offers a service, will create local jobs and will contribute revenue to the local tax base.
Kory (3:38) And that's why Spearfish Brewing Company was such a great fit for this project. Again, they're producing a product and creating jobs as it was a significant capital investment and also a wonderful sales tax generator for the community.
There is another unique aspect to this particular venture in that craft breweries tend to attract tourists and Spearfish is quickly becoming a hub for this fast-growing market.
Jon (8:05) You know I've seen some numbers about what tourists are looking for these days. Breweries are truly a part of that equation. When you have more than one, when you have three breweries in a small town like Spearfish, a great tourism-centric summer town, I think that just engages the excitement of those people who may not have otherwise found the Northern Hills.
For both Jon and Nathan, the invitation to move to the Spearfish community was an easy choice. It meant the opportunity to open a brewery in a business-friendly community and the chance to enjoy its unique quality of life as an outdoor recreation destination.
Nathan (6:58) I like what I do, I like brewing beer. The only way to make my job better is to have a good quality of life. // For me it was just about finding a really nice town with a lot of the outdoor activities that I wanted and lot of the city life I was looking for, and Spearfish provided all of that. Spearfish was always at the top of my list.
Jon (3:08) When the opportunity to move to move to Spearfish came up it was a personal dream of mine. I love the canyon, I spent years climbing in the canyon and Devil's Tower is right next door. // I think it's become evident to me over the last 2-3 months just why Spearfish is the perfect place to build a brewery. The kind of support that locals have for dining, the plays for local bars, they receive a lot of support, even during the off-season for tourism. Locals like to get out and enjoy and support local businesses. A second brewery in this town, and even a third one coming are only going to help bring interest to this part of the Black Hills // to check out a new place to drink and to eat and be a part of the Spearfish culture. This town is really just a great business place.

What the Locals Do: Hiking Bear Butte
Bear Butte is a unique and beautiful hike in the northern Black Hills of South Dakota. Located outside of Sturgis, SD, it is a hike you don't want to miss!
With great opportunities for wildlife viewing and gorgeous views it truly showcases the best of the Black Hills.
We saw hawks, deer, a marmot, songbirds and plenty of wildflowers! And from the top we could see for miles and miles in every direction.
We also stopped in Sturgis for a cup of coffee at Sturgis Coffee beforehand and a cold beer after our hike at the Loud American Roadhouse.
