Today, April 7th, is National Beer Day around the country. For those of us in Bismarck-Mandan, there are a ton of great options when searching for the perfect beer to celebrate.

Here are five of my favorite places to grab a pint in Bismarck-Mandan:

    1

    The Walrus

    If you're looking for variety, The Walrus, inside the Arrowhead Plaza, has it.

    With over 40 beers on tap, you'll never have trouble finding something new to try. Might I suggest Tallgrass Brewing's Buffalo Sweat.

    Laughing Sun Brewing Co.

    Downtown Bismarck is home to a lot of great beer stops, including Laughing Sun Brewing Co.

    Established in 2012, Laughing Sun has crafted a great collection of beers, brewed right here in Bismarck. Head in on a Friday or Saturday night for great local music and a pint of their Feast Like a Sultan IPA.

    The Blarney Stone

    A little slice of Ireland right in downtown Bismarck, The Blarney Stone offers everything and anything you could ask for in an Irish pub.

    The food is fantastic, the atmosphere is on point, and the beer is ice cold. What better to have at an Irish pub than a pint of Guinness?

    JL Beers

    JL Beers is another downtown Bismarck beer stop that is packed with delicious beers on tap at all times.

    With a tap list that is constantly changing, you never know what you'll get at JL Beers. As a guy originally from Michigan, I wouldn't feel right if I didn't suggest you try something from Bell's, if they have it.

    Tap-In Tavern

    The newest entrant into the beer game in Bismarck-Mandan, the Tap-In Tavern, on Memorial Highway, is strictly a beer bar, which is perfect for National Beer Day.

    Much like JL Beers, the selection at the Tap-In Tavern changes constantly, which means you'll always have something new to try. As a beer drinker, you can't ask for much better than that.
