Two local breweries have announced a discount for federal employees during the government shutdown.

Both Fernson Brewing Company and Monk's House of Ale Repute announced Friday that they would be offering 50 percent off of tap beer if you bring in a valid government ID.

"While the current government shutdown is a small pain for us (we can't release new beers because labels are approved federally)," a Facebook post from Fernson read, "we really feel for those people – federal employees – whose lives are most impacted by the shutdown."

Several other businesses in Sioux Falls have offered discounts as well, including The Original Pancake House, Shahi Palace and the First Dakota National Bank.
