Investor Spotlight: Wooden Legs

Nestled in Downtown Brookings, Wooden Legs Brewing Company is more than just a microbrewery. It is a gathering place where craft beer, good food, and strong community ties come together. Known for locally brewed beer, a selection of South Dakota’s finest drafts, and a menu filled with standout pizzas and sandwiches, Wooden Legs has become a staple for residents and visitors alike.

What truly sets Wooden Legs apart is its dedication to community. The team believes that supporting local initiatives and giving back is essential to their success. Whether it is through philanthropy or simply creating a welcoming space where people can connect, their commitment goes beyond business, it is about fostering a sense of belonging. Their staff, known as Pubkeeps, are not only trained in serving beer but also in enhancing the experience by sharing knowledge and passion for their craft.

Brookings itself is a key part of what makes this possible. The city’s mix of small-town warmth and vibrant energy, fueled in part by South Dakota State University, creates an environment where businesses can thrive. Returning customers, ongoing conversations, and shared excitement over SDSU events all contribute to the unique character of the town.

That same spirit is what led Wooden Legs to invest in Vision Brookings. Supporting efforts that drive the city forward aligns with their own values of growth and collaboration. They see organizations like Visit Brookings as key players in shaping the future, making Brookings an even better place to live, work, and play. Through this partnership, they are not just serving beer and food. They are helping build a stronger community
