“Building a Brewery” by Ben Hanten, founder of Ben’s Brewing Co.

The first brewery in Dakota Territory was opened in Yankton in 1866 by German immigrant Charles F. Rossteuscher. Almost 160 years later, Ben Hanten, founder of Ben’s Brewing Co., will share his experience of converting the historic Freeman Company building into a thriving, modern-day brewery.

Feed Your Minds are held on the first Friday of each month, and there is a free-will donation to attend. The one-hour event will be held on the second floor of the Mead Building, 82 Mickelson Dr in Yankton, SD.
