Crow Peak Brewing Company
Founded on March 9, 2007 by Jeff Drumm — a military kid who grew up in Germany and England — and his wife Carolyn Ferrell. When they moved from San Diego to Spearfish they found the town had no craft beer and the bartender didn't know what an IPA was. Drumm opened Crow Peak as the first brewery in Spearfish and the first in South Dakota to brew modern craft styles. Rapid growth forced expansions in 2009 and 2010, when a 30-barrel brewhouse and canning line opened regional distribution. Now brewing approximately 8,000 barrels annually — the most distributed South Dakota craft brewery.

How we measure this
Two thresholds are at work here:
- The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
- The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.
A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
