Featuring a craft beer brewed exclusively for them by the Mount Rushmore Brewing Company, the owners of the Buglin' Bull (named for the sound made by a male elk) also offer a wide selection of other beers, spirits, cocktails, margaritas, martinis, wine, and bourbon. It's all served up in a bustling atmosphere at a renovated downtown building with a bar, tin ceiling, exposed brick walls, and a large outdoor deck on an upper floor.

Using malt from North Dakota and hops from the Midwest and Pacific Northwest, this brewery creates a flagship line of four beers with names inspired by the four presidents on Mount Rushmore: American Fabius, a blond ale; Long Tom, an American IPA; Trust Buster, a Scottish export; and Rail Splitter, a London-style porter. All the beers can be enjoyed on-site in the taproom. The expansive facility also include a restaurant and event space.
