Laughing Sun Brewing
Established in 2012 in the historic Laskin Building in downtown Bismarck, Laughing Sun is as much community space as brewery — local artists' work adorns the walls, the stage hosts musicians, poets and writers, and the beer is the connective thread. One of North Dakota's most beloved and enduring breweries, known for approachable styles alongside bolder experiments. A cultural anchor in a capital city that historically had few craft beer options.

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.
Feast Like a Sultan IPA
Their beers place in the Top 69% of the catalogue on average, across 3 ranked beers. One clear standout well ahead of the rest.
