Book the space →Welcome to the Mothership.
Built in 1948 as an Oldsmobile and Cadillac dealership, our home is 37,000 square feet of art-deco curves, timber salvaged from the Homestake Mine, and the original meaning of "Hay Camp" — the name given to the hay meadows along Rapid Creek where bull trains stopped to water animals and load feed before hauling freight into the Black Hills mining district.
The original concrete floors are still underfoot. Kauri wood — imported from New Zealand for the Homestake Mine because of its extreme hardness and resistance to rot — now frames the bar, the booths, and the overhead beams. What started in 2012 as a backyard homebrew operation has grown into a 7-barrel steam-fired brewhouse and the only Black Hills brewery that self-distributes every keg.
