About Us
Our Story
David Duma, former Marine and now the owner of Gideon’s Brewery has reopened Gideon’s with a new look and location in the heart of the city. Gideon’s first started in an industrial shop, located in Lincoln ND. Since the day of opening, Gideon’s has experienced several changes and redesigns to provide its guests the most enjoyable experience while sipping on a nice cold craft beer. This required transitioning from the plastic conical fermenter tanks to temperature controlled stainless steel fermenters. These new tanks also provide a more consistent tasting beer because the fermentation process is more controlled. With upgrading to bigger and better fermenters, David expanded the whole brewery and changed locations. On November 1st 2019, Gideons transferred their location to downtown Bismarck, ND. Immediately after opening, the Gideon’s brewing team started experimenting with new flavors and brewed small test batches to expand their line. Within months Gideon’s has brewed over 100 different beer styles and flavors such as sour ales and hard seltzers. This same energy and hardwork is still at work today by having sixteen flavors of beer always on tap. Anytime you come and visit us, Gideon’s will provide you with something new.
Cheers!

We decided to try out this small brewery in the old Laughing Sun location, after visiting Laughing Sun at their current... location.You can still order pizza from next door, so, that hasn't changed. There is popcorn to help yourself to & a sign for beer infused meat sticks - no other food. Staff were friendly and happy to supply samples and give a run down of the options.It quickly became clear that this is a place with lots of local regulars, (with their own mugs to prove it), & a very relaxed, friendly environment where everyone (except us) seemed to know each other. There was a small stage in the back, we left right around 6pm & there wasn't entertainment at that time. There are a few round tables that seat between 2-8 people and a standard bar top, which was apparently the place to be with standing room only remaining.We opted for a 2 seater and sampled a few brews. I went all in on the butter beer, which I regretted about halfway through. Don't get me wrong, it delivered exactly what it promised, which got to be a bit much. If you've a sweet tooth, this one is for you - very butterscotch forward, no hoppiness. My next choice was the winterweizen, which was on the money & probably where I should've started.In all, we had 4 brews & several samples at $29All of them were balanced & hit the descriptions.This feels like a place where someone may feel inclined to hug you - by which I mean everyone seemed happy & very comfortable... almost like family without the fighting. I'd certainly recommend giving them a try, maybe even getting your own mug if you're local. (We aren't)read more

How can I describe some of the most inventive beer I have ever tasted. Great quality and flavors. They have yet to have... a beer I cannot drink. The Imperial Tiramisu Pastry Stout and the S'mores Porter are so unique. I personally like the Dakota Style the best but loved the experience of the others! Small Brewery With Big Flavors!!!read more

Gideon’s has fun, unique beers that you can tell are made with fresh ingredients and the beers rotate often. You can... order food from the pizzeria next door (Fireflour) as well if you want food with your drinks. There are games at every table and live music on Fridays. Definitely worth the stop! I had to take some of the White Chocolate Raspberry sour home with me, it was so good.read more

Unique selection of craft beer. There's always something new. Order a pizza from fireflour and watch the game.

A very fine establishment with plenty of entertainment and wonderfully crafted beer. In my opinion, because they... experiment with recipes to find good ones, not every one is going to fit your palette; If you didn't like one, try another. There's a good chance you'll really like it! I personally love every sour I've had there, and think it's a style they do particularly well with.read more

Story of Gideon
Gideon was a tribal leader about 1080 B.C. who led a group of 300 men against the enormous Midianite army. Gideon and his men carried only trumpets and lit torch lamps inside water pitchers, to conceal the light. Gideon and his 300 men surrounded the camp in the night, broke the pitchers to shine the light, yelled a battle cry and blew the trumpets. This created a frenzy and panic which led to the defeat the Midianites. It just goes to show that it doesn’t always take the bigger army to win just like it doesn’t take a large brewery to make great beer! Cheers
