Come ready to explore, and don't plan on going hungry. ## The Beer is Here South Dakota's official craft beer is hitting our shelves for the nation's 250th anniversary. Dakota Liberty, an American pilsner, is available in our stores or on tap at our restaurants. ## Places to Eat at Custer State Park We have four restaurants throughout the resort to choose from—each with its own flavors and specialties. From elegant meals to hearty ranch fare and family-friendly homestyle cooking, you’re sure to find something to please you. If you’re hosting an event, we also have [catering options](https://www.custerresorts.com/groups-events/catering). And don't miss out on the [Chuckwagon Cookout](https://www.custerresorts.com/activities/activities-experiences/hayride-chuck-wagon-cookout), a true western dining experience.
