THE SCOOP
Each company has big goals, but is starting with limited selection. Hydra has three varieties, and Fernson is currently selling two.
FERNSON BREWING COMPANY
“We started with two styles to make sure we could do a really great job with everything we put out and make them consistent and great,” said Fernholz. Consumers in the Sioux Falls area are already able to find both Hydra and Fernson in most places beers are sold, and by the end of the summer that will be true statewide. Each company keeps an updated list of locations on their website and encourages the public – even Coors Light drinkers – to give craft beer a try. “We started this because we both love making things and we want to make people happy,” said Thompson. “From our experiences with brewing, we know beer is one of those things that brings people together and seems to make people happy. That’s what we wanted to do with our lives. Now we’re actually getting to live our dreams out.”
