This South Dakota brewery is making a beer for America's 250th anniversary

South Dakota is creating a beer to celebrate the country's 250th anniversary – and Platte Creek Brewing Company is going to brew it.

The beer, called Dakota Liberty, is the result of a partnership between the Geddes-based brewery and the South Dakota State Historical Society, the brewery said on social media , and it was unveiled at the South Dakota State Fair in Huron over the weekend.

"The fun part is it's a fundraiser for the Historical Society," the brewery said. "So a portion of all the merchandise that gets sold in connection will go back into preserving some of South Dakota's amazing history."

The South Dakota Historical Society Foundation is responsible for accepting donations and grants for the state commission planning events for the 250th anniversary. Then-Gov. Kris
