Thank you, Dale! And, a new beer you should look for.

Hello! My name is Ben Hanten and I happy to say that I’m going to keep sodakbeer going. Dale has done the South Dakota beer world a great service over the last several years. He has tipped us all off to a number of new beers in the market and he has celebrated the people trying to move beer forward around here. I feel a part of a big beer community thanks to sodakbeer. Thanks a million, Dale.

I hope to combine by background in beer and journalism to help bring you stories and updates from the beer scene.
