Two Brews with Views
See What’s Hoppin’
Welcome to Cohort Craft Brewery.
We’re your neighborhood Black Hills brewery
with not one, but two spots to sip:
Rapid City and Hill City.
We’re pouring bold craft beer, mead on tap for
the curious and crisp NA beverages.
Come thirsty, leave converted.
Not Your Average Brewery. Not Even Close.
Two sites, two vibes: One in Rapid City with a neighborhood feel. One in Hill City with Black Hills views for days.
Mead matters: The only Black Hills brewery that always has mead on tap. Sweet, bold, and totally underrated.
Freshness on repeat: Our small batch breweries keep our beer flowing and the turnover snappy. No stale sips here.
Staff-powered: Our craft crew doesn’t just pour beer – they brew it. Expect wildcards, one-offs, and passion projects on tap.
Fuel up at both locations: Chute Rooster and Your Mom’s both serve it up just right because great beer deserves great grub.
From Home to Black Hills Brews
We built Cohort to be more than a brewery—it’s your brewery, too. No distribution, no middlemen—just fresh beer, brewed in-house and poured feet from where it’s made. Our Rapid City spot feels like your neighborhood hangout, while Hill City’s all about mountain views and post-hike pints. With open tanks, open doors, and a team that brews their own creations, we’re crafting more than beer—we’re crafting experiences.
Customer Reviews
What a cool establishment. The beer is delicious, several options and even a few guest beers! The Deli is also convenient and well priced, and yummy. The grounds are spacious, dogs welcome, as well as kids, and they have corn hole, bocce ball, fire pits and lots of tables. This is a real family establishment and a great spot to stop into! Excited to see how this grows!

Very comfortable setting. Met friends there.. was able to have a conversation at the table. There is a QR code on the table to order food and they send a text message when the food is ready. Pet friendly atmosphere

Being stuck with the gluten allergy, its hard to go out with friends and enjoy drinks and conversation, without being stuck drinking a seltzer. Just tried the Cranberry Hibiscus Meade, it was incredibly delicious and rather refreshing. Thank you Cohort for offering a variety of gluten free options.

If you're not familiar, disregard the complaint from PG. This is one of the best breweries in SD. It is their 4 year anniversary today and all things considered it really isn't that busy. Oh and the oysters are fantastic! And as always, Amanda and Mel are slaying it!!

This place is awesome. We aren't local and out of the three local breweries we visited this is the one we returned to the last night of our trip. Employees are so friendly, my boyfriend really enjoyed the IPAs, and I loved the sours! Clean, good atmosphere and they have a game we played for like an hour (dingo disk).

I'm from Colorado and the beer and atmosphere were fantastic. Everyone who has a chance should stop by Cohort craft brewery is the real deal! The staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. Especially the nice and friendly tattooed CrossFit lady. Abbie? And Becky!

Came here for a work party. Relaxed atmosphere. Clean. Starwars pinball was a blast. Try your hand at the Dingo Disk game with some friends. Keller beer was killer. My coworkers enjoyed all their beers as well. Great hang 👍
Hunter Clark
This place is pretty great. Nice open outdoor space in the back with bocce and cornhole, lots of tables, audible but not too loud music (sometimes old school vinyl), good crowd, and good beer selection. A lot of IPA but also a decent mead and some other options.
Definitely recommend a stop here for a relaxing afternoon.

I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed the great beers and food. Lovely facility inside and out. There was a glitch with our RV reservation but the staff went above and beyond to fix the problem. Truly top notch individuals.
