A Sioux Falls craft brewery was named the top brewer in the state by the craft beer website RateBeer.com.

Three South Dakota brewers took home awards, including Wood Grain Brewery in Sioux Falls for the best new brewery.

But the Sioux Falls nano-brewery Gandy Dancer Brew Works won the top brewer award for the small-batch brews that can only be found at Monks House of Ale Repute.

"It's the only place in town you can get Gandy Dancer beer is at Monks, and to have it named, you know were just a little one-barrel system, so we have to put out some good beers," Monks owner Jerry Hauck said.

Saturday, people were able to sample some of that beer during the "Brrrvana" beer sampling event.
