Though his title is now general manager, he likes to go by “the craft beer guy.” “I get to meet so many interesting travelers, become friends with locals, and talk about one of my favorite subjects—South Dakota beer,” said Evans. The Smoking Mule carries South Dakota beers on tap from all around the state, including a few exclusive beers they recently made in collaboration with Palace City Brewing Co. out of Mitchell. Their summer beer created with brewery owner Doug Beck was the Boat Dock Brew —an American lemon wheat beer created with hand- zesting 200 lemons. “After that was such a hit, we decided to revamp the selection for a nice fall/winter brown ale we named Braying Brown Brew ,” described Evans. “This is a pecan-infused brown ale with just a subtle touch of maple, using Chamberlain-grown barley from one of our server’s father’s farms right outside of town.”
