Always thinking forward, the partners and staff recognized the tremendous growth in the craft beer industry. So it was decided we would open Sturgis’s first brewery! The Knuckle Brewing Company was established in 2014. The menu was developed around food that would pair well with craft beer. Specializing in yummy brick fired pizzas, pasta and wings. The Knuckle Brewing Company quickly became Sturgis’s premier dining experience! The first year we brewed, our “Kucklehead Red” won first place in it’s category at The Black Hills Beerfest! Because of our location, The Knuckle is a natural place to gather for all of the rallies from the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, to the Camaro and Mustang rally annual events.
