Black Leg Brewery

Black Leg Brewery pays tribute to ranch roots

Nestled on the prairie 25 miles southeast of Bismarck, the historic Black Leg Ranch’s gem is the Copper Jewell Barn, where Black Leg Brewery crafts microbrews.

Home to six generations of the Doan family, Black Leg Ranch is a working ranch, raising both cattle and bison, since 1882 near McKenzie.

“We are a cattle ranch first and foremost, but we also have over 700 head of bison on our ranch,” Jay Doan says.

As of 2018, the back of the barn is home to Black Leg Brewery, with 14 microbrews made with many local ingredients.

Bully Pulpit Golf Course

Golf atop Bully’s breathtaking buttes

Stand at the No. 15 tee at Bully Pulpit Golf Course near Medora and you may forget about the game for a moment, as a backswing atop the butte feels like it may scrape the sky.

An 18-hole course, Bully Pulpit Golf Course opened in 2004. It’s a par 72 layout, with renovations continually improving the grounds.
