The new South Dakota hotspot is located at 113 West Main Avenue in Vermillion. The team at XIX Brewing Company loves the town of Vermillion and beer. Naturally, they wanted to create a fun atmosphere with good beer and even better company! The slogan of the brewery is literally "Good Beer. Better Company."

XIX Brewing Company serves locally brewed beers and they rotate 12 new brews regularly. The taproom also serves seltzer and homemade rootbeer on tap. That's not all! The taproom at XIX Brewing Company is dog-friendly and they are currently serving Sunny's Pizzeria!

XIX Brewing Company just celebrated one year in Vermillion. Some current brews on tap include:

  • AM/PM Coffee Cream Ale: It's described as, "Light in color but bursting with coffee flavor! This cream ale has a huge addition of Coffea Legacy Blend espresso beans. With its huge armoa of delicious roasted coffee and chocolate, stout fans may enjoy this as well, despite its color."
  • Beach, Please! Sour: For any fans of sour brews, this could be the drink for you! It's described as a "vacation in a glass" and the brewery's version of a Pina Colada. It has pineapple and coconut with vanilla.

The signature drink that any Coyote fan has to try is the Coyote Legacy Blonde Ale. The color of the drink is even red!

The Coyote Legacy Blonde Ale from XIX Brewing Company is the perfect refreshing light beer for Coyote fans! The best part? A portion of sales of the Coyote Legacy Blonde Ale goes back to support student scholarships for the University of South Dakota. How cool!

I recently made the trip to Vermillion with my husband and our friends to watch a Coyote football and then celebrate the win at XIX Brewing Company. What a great way to celebrate USD and the town of Vermillion!

Cheers, Vermillion!
